FAQ . . . たぶん

Things that you DO/N’T IT at Elsword Japan

1. PVP : Ping yourself to Google.co.jp see your latency when connected on VPN, if higher than 150ms please dont force to Arena just for !@#$ sake. Beware Elsword Japan got official Twitter Arena for reporting any player that abusing [Lag/Farming]
2. Language : Dont be dumb, we already crossing the line from IP Country Restriction, so dont !@#$ to chat in public beside Japanese Language. Dont know Japanese Language ? Just shut up.
3. Dungeon : Be nice with random party people with say よろ/よろしく/よろです/よろしくお願いします in the dungeon start and おつ/おつかれ/おつかれさま/おつかれさまでした at end of Dungeon. Cant write it ? Keep silent or just shut up. I saw some Foreigner Player [English] idiot for saying Hello when dungeon start and Thx at dungeon end. I dont know If Hangame privacy policy and agreement that allowed language beside Japanese, but In Elsword Korea you would got banned for sure.

~ Additional ~

Do
1. Love Me <3
2. Be Nice with any player [Like say what I write on point number 3 above, usually keep quiet just OK, but better you learn a simple greetings like よろしく or おつかれ would be great]
3. Keep Low profile and dont make unnecessary attention
4. Install Japanese IME [Optional but recommended for looking item on Market Board]

Don’t
1. Hate Me </3
2. PVP [150ms] or Dungeon Party Search [200ms] f you’re got high Latency [more than that were unacceptable !] [Because I got once that a Japanese player ask the party who’s the lagger, that time was Me ]
3. Chat your language on public, Japanese Language is a Must for Speaking on Public [Unless they know your language, keep it PM / Whipser] [I hear a story that some Japanese people that really really hate foreigner on PSO2]

Personal Note : Please dont do anything stupid on Elsword Japan, We already have a chance to play at wonderful server, so if you not serious playing at this server just leave this server alone !

Things that I Don’t know until now at Elsword Japan

1. How to Recharge Hancoin If anyone know, please tell me. Need those B Slot Seems impossible unless you ask Japanese Player to send via gift to you

CURRENT ISSUE – IP Address Security Lock

Just a tips, better you don’t change your IP too much since it can trigger Account Security Lock
As far as I can understand with their Customer Service, there was a System that automatically lock your account based on Unfarmiliar IP Address (Especially that you dont have any long-term-VPN)

Image just like this

How to Unlock ? Inquiry at Hangame Elsword Inquiry page

[Expired] PERMANENT BAN TRADE

Some of My Guildmate got permanent Ban Trade [New Character Ban trade already expired], simply they can trade / search board / enter market. I already open support ticket with errrr somewhat google-translated Japanese (sorry but I just know the basic grammar fundamental) and still no reply from Hangame.

If you know something about this please comment at this page with Opening “[HOT] CURRENT ISSUE – PERMANENT BAN TRADE” Any help will be useful for anyone that play at Elsword Japan [Since KR already moving to cleaning non-Korean People play there]

*Not sure If this one permanent or not

Trade / Market Lock already issued by Hangame, If your ID still got Trade / Market lock please send support inquiry on Hangame Inquiry page !

Update : WATCH-OUT TRADE / MARKET LOCK STILL EXIST, seems they filter by IP Address !

Update : I already got explanation from Hangame Customer Service, they said there is a bug on their system that prevent player from trade / market / search board. The suggestion from Hangame Customer Service just wait. Dunno if they got Market Revamp @ 12 March, [since they already posted here something about premium service shop that changed to 15 Slot like a Market Revamp right ?].

Since I got the lock too on 26 Feb 2014 Maintenance

  Nope, unless you want to get your account permanently locked because false / fake information
  
  The Identity registration needed for account recovery beside allowing the account it self buy a cash

Thanks for the reply Kuris ^_^

I gave it a try using freeware vpn. But none of them seems stable.

Can I ask about you about how to set up a dedicated server in JP just like yours?

A link to the website is ok, but it would be nice if you email me in details ^_^.

Thank you again for this wonderful guide.
- Varenchinusu replied:
  
  Jun 06, 2016 12:19 PM
  
  I’m using Freeware VPN Client and Server though [Softether VPN]
  
  “Can I ask about you about how to set up a dedicated server in JP just like yours?”
  
  I’m using VPS [Virtual Private Server] not dedicated since cheaper.
  
  Just google “how to setup Softether VPN Server / OpenVPN VPN server on Linux*”
  
  *[Depend what Linux OS that you pick on your VPS / Dedicated Server]

  Downloading [filename] and the progress bar were resetted
- Avery replied:
  
  Aug 04, 2016 11:23 AM
