Does anyone play from China?

[Swish]

ni hao pals

Does anyone here connect from China? Past or present.

Wondered if their "great firewall" blocks P99 or not.

xie xie

I play from China, TX. Back in 1998, Disney even built a Great Wall at our middle school that was used for filming a Mulan VHS release party. Not sure what gets more Chinese than that.

[Pringles]

I played P99 from my hotel when I was in Shanghai for 3 weeks a few years back. The lag sucks (their "great" firewalls are overloaded), but they didn't block it then, could be different now, if they do there are probably countless VPNs/proxies you could use to get around it.

I used to play with folks who lived in Hong Kong, so it's definitely possible.

<piece of formosa> I have pk you thx la~

[Swish]

Nice, thanks guys...it'll be good to know that I'll be around for more FQ while I'm there <3 :)

[Darkatar]

I know 2 Chinese players who play without any VPN service and have no issues

[Pik]

the gold sellers on WoW have it figured out right

[Decad]

There is a bunch of China players on our server

[caldiar]

I had a guy who played from China help me do the Goblin Gazughi Ring camp (it only took me an hour to get the ring to drop and he showed up ~30 minutes into my camp).
Oddly enough, he would go linkdead every time I typed "America". Coincidence?

I played on The Nameless and this sure brings me back! la~ QQ
Was lots of asian players on that server back in the day.

[Baa]

We have a few in Infernus as we all share similar timezones.

我的中国的朋友，你好

PS. 他妈的你星

(English Translate: Hello Chinese friends. Ps. Good Luck With connection)

[Poeskas]

There have been small communities of chinese players that have quietly come and gone since this server started. There's still a small guild of chinese players that play randomly. <Galactica> iirc

Nameless as well

those TW guilds loved to train folks in OS then when the GM's would show up "no abc la~"

[Sebekkha]

There is a few EQemu servers knocking around which are "chinese language only" CEQ has quite a healthy population, but unless you know chinese its quite impossible to play

Agreed

I am Asian and in Nameless too. Taiwan players play on this server and I was in one of the Taiwanese Guilds

Paradise of Nameless, Kylin Eyes, War Dragon, Great Avatar Nexus, Dragon Clans, Lost Danger Soldier, Vision Divine, Fallen Avatar, Freeborn...anyone still remember them?

The koreans (Arirang )play on Rodcet Nife I believe. Cant remember the server the Japanese plays

Can't wait to keep everyone informed on the Swish update thread, stay subscribed <3

You are going to China Swish? That's impressive, but you english do like to "travel", I hope you have a well time there. Send me lots of kung fu stuff please!

[Yukkers]

Hong Kong doesn't have censored Internet. Hong Kong is its own city and is not under Chinese law.

Its looking that way, a smaller city on the Eastern front, near Korea/Japan/etc. I'll bring back someone to help me farm EQ plat among other things ;)

[Tann]

Paradise of Nameless, Kylin Eyes, Lost Danger Soldier

I remember these 3, and the name Decade also rings a bell as a guild.

[dafier]

China isn't blocked from the whole world. It's not PRK.

Mao still plays.

He's a red player, plays a holy knight....we call him Maopal.

[maskedmelon]

Cant remember the server the Japanese plays

There was a healthy Japanese population on Veeshan back when I played ^^ Not sure if Veeshan is still a server or it it was absorbed into another one with all the merges.

[dafier]

Mao ONLY plays red. EVERYONE knows that.

Great person, that Mao.

I see what you did there...

[Vubbers]

I just moved back to the US from China (mainland, not HK or Taiwan) and was playing there for a bit before I came home. If I recall correctly I could do it without using a VPN, which you can't do on live servers. The connection wasn't great but you didn't need to do anything to get around the firewall.

Thanks guys. I'd be interested to see what my ping would be out there. Red won't be easy with 200-250+

[Baler]

Is there anyone who plays red with a 250+ latency? How does this effect them in pvp?
I recall seeing some post about someone who played from new zealand or something and people were complaining about them having a high ping advantage? Maybe I got it wrong but if that's the case. Everyone with a high ping should play RED!.
Fixed- Everyone Should Play Red.

[Paleman]

a friend of mine plays from afghanistan, he lags like a mofucka but still plays

[morlin888]

I am chinese player who still on P1999 blue . the "Great wall" now effect us . Sometime we can't find the sever list when we log on . So we use VPN .

Sometimes , means 10days in a month maybe ok without VPN.

we have more than 15 guys play on the blue now . Just leveling and do some small camp .

[Swish]

I'm amazed there isnt a VPN clampdown out there.

[fiveeauxfour]

wasn't <galacitca> a Chinese guild?
