If you can get on a connection that will work, then sure. I don't think South Korea is heavily internet restricted, but I don't know for sure.
Dec out.

South Korea generally ranks as the top for internet speeds - chances are good that the OP will have a better internet connection/speeds in South Korea.|

As far as I know you can play CoH everywhere but Soviet Russia. In Soviet Russia CoH plays you.
South Korea is fine.
NORTH Korea... now, that's heavily restricted. Though I hear City of Our Glorious Leader is popular there. No, has nothing to do with Emperor Cole.

Positron's i13 letter: We are trying to make PvP more accessible to new players, while giving experienced PvP'ers the advantage that comes with formulating tactics around the new systems we're putting in place. PvP from now on will be on our priority list. If something isn't working out, we'll be in there tweaking it and making it work, for the entire future of the product, not just Issue 13.

I HAVE heard there's some issues with South American stuff on the CC side (from South Americans having issues). But I think it's a "known issue" with the South Americans because of their system of doing things.
Dec out.

NCSoft goes through 3rd parties in South America due to issues with credit card fraud, or something like that. And our fellow players' issues with that is they don't always offer all the boosters, etc, for City of Heroes.

Negaduck: I see you found the crumb. I knew you'd never notice the huge flag.
Thanks for the details, and, yes, that's pretty much what I'm talking about.
Dec out.
For what it's worth I'm in Germany and I'm playing on the US servers just fine. As long as you can pay your subscription fees, you can still play the game.
I've played in:
USA
Canada
Japan
China
Germany
South Africa
No problems.
I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

Um, don't jump to conclusions. Silverado is generally very knowlegeable about the game and it's workings.

1. That's ridiculous. Considering most of the people who come to these boards with credit card problems are either from outside the United States, or are residing outside, Silverado's understanding of the situation is completely logical. Even more so if you've never had to deal with the issue yourself.|

2. That's ridiculous. This is what brings you to despair for humanity? Not the slaughter and warefare going on in several parts of the world right now? Not the willful destruction of much of the planet at our hands? Interesting.

*heh* Hyperbole and the fact that Silverado is usually fairly knowledgeable. The fact that people outside the US have greater and more frequent issues with credit cards doesn't change the that i've seen posts about people in other countries using credit cards to pay for the game for 6+ years now. The fact that people have been posting about issues with their credit cards in both the US and other countries for years now with no official announcement ever made regarding time cards being a requirement for non-US players is also an indication that credit cards can be used outside the US.|

And unless we come up with something really spectacular in fairly short order i have a feeling that destruction of the planet isn't a worry at all. Severe damage to the biosphere is possible, but more severe events than anything humanity is currently capable of have happened to the biosphere in the past. Still, like your part 2, i was just using humorous exaggeration. i didn't think anyone would take it seriously. i tend to misjudge things like that, it's true. My shame will now flare like a thermonuclear explosion and annihilate the Eastern seaboard of North America. Greenland will weep bitter tears as the tidal and blast waves plunge it beneath the sea. (No, not really.)*
*This time i added a qualifier in parentheses to make it clear that i'm not completely serious. That should ease some worries for those who would've taken me literally.

So I just got a cool gig that will have me moving to South Korea come September. My question is, can I still play my preferred MMO while I'm over there? I'd be there about a year, so I was just planning on dropping a one year sub fee and not having to mess with it for a while. But...I dunno, I've never lived in another country before so I'm curious.
