Anyone still playing? so hard to find a good and smooth MMO to play from malaysia.

Necroing a 3 year old thread, since the western version have launched, if anyone is playing and interested to join a guild. Do search for the guild in game (Conquest) or drop your ign here

Thank you~

Hi Sorry for my laziness, where to get this game?

You need to create a new steam account via VPN (either to US/UK) as SEA is region blocked as the game wont appear in your steam account to download. Launch date is actually 12 feb, but founder's pack owner have 3 day headstart.

is there anyway to have the game available in my steam? I have some steam friend living in Asia, saw them playing in my friendlist.

if you find out how let me know also yaaa.
i used a VPN to create germany based steam account then only could see it in my steam store.

For those whom are interested in doing this, here is what i did.

1. create new dummy gmail
2. create new steam account & fill in caphta all. country no need to set one its fake.
3. when you are at the stage to verify your email, now u need to make sure your VPN is on and working (i used Free VPN chrome extension)
4. make sure your VPN on then verify your email yaa. then only do the final steps to set steam username,etc.
5. check your account details there to see your region. Also what currency u see the games are sold in.

will test the ping when the game goes live for free2play & report back!

SEA shafted again huh

ya bodo one we're region locked out...
maybe another 5 years for sea server if it ever comes?

for SEA...thy needed another publisher..

so far...no mentions of SEA server coming anytime soon.

This is probably the way to go if you want to play. I know shopee theres people selling the game as in they take ur login credentials and change your steam region to US and buy the game for you as they have legit US Credit card.

if you know anyone doing this can u ask how the ping is from MY? wondering if i should buy founders or just wait for f2p but my decision will be heavily dependent on the average ping.
if ping too sad until canot do raids comfortably then no point getting founders.

no love for SEA, sigh

once we created account using vpn, do we have to continue using vpn to login after that?

from SG gang they told me its around 190 with no vpn (NA server), think no noticeable lag when pve.
still waiting for more info


dont need

The game netcode is good, its playable even with 200ms, I currently floating around 170ms with mudfish, 220ms++ without vpn. PVE wise, the game is good, pvp is the one high ping may spell trouble.

Raids definitely okay with our ping.

There is 2 method to play Lost Ark at the moment, confirmed : -

1. use VPN to create a new steam account on Western country , US/UE/AUS works. then initiate pre-load or buy a founder pack which will link the game in your library, you don't need VPN after that, even downloading the game are free from VPN.

2. (personally doing this) I requested my friend in AUS (you can if you have friend in any unblocked place in the world) to help my account to transfer region by giving him my login , i still have my steam guard which it will be safe , change password after.
He purchase the cheapest game in steam using his AUS credit card using my account , and wala , my account became AUS account, then he initiated Lost Ark preload on my account and logout.
From here i login , doesn't even need VPN, download the game and play. Proof on my stream , link at the signature below.
(For my case actually he help me the buy the bronze founder pack which is AUS19.99 [RM59.xx~] , i repay him by steam gift card.)

A little advise, you don't need to change your region back to Malaysia account anytime soon if you don't need to purchase any game ( it has a 90days cooldown) after you changed region, BUT still you can buy any games using AUS currency without changing your region.

Please DM me if you have any question regarding this

ive done all the steps above, my steam is now showing in pound sterling, i can find lost ark, but when i preload it, nothing happens

a box appears "launching lost ark...." like normal installation but disappears

tried so far: restart steam, restart pc, clear downloads cache, all not working

This post has been edited by phoenixxx: Feb 10 2022, 05:09 PM

haiz malaysia cant play..damn it

i didnt preload it yet also.
tmrw launched right? will try tmrw and update u here.

There is a lot of people actually complain in amazon forum, but it looks like if you have not completed a first purchase and lost ark not appear in your library , it will not preload.
I did "trick" steam into showing lost ark before, but when i relog into steam it will goes back to malaysia account and that will not work.

can ar, i am playing in malaysia. Just like what i have posted lor

lost ark got item duping exploit so fast alredy?? why amazon games so much problem de??
same like new world

Review:
https://www.mmorpg.com/reviews/lost-ark-review-2000124288

Pros:
Tons of content
Competitive PvP and PvE endgame
Equalized PvP

Cons:
Nearly endless grind
Money can provide quicker gear upgrades
Incredibly boring leveling process

When I see that word... It chases me away.

Which VPN you using, I find the free trial ExitLag is not working for me.
I used Windscribe to make it happen.

When preloading the game from steam, need to connect VPN.
After it is showing in your Library/download queue, pause the download then you can close your VPN.
Can use your own bandwidth to resume download.

yeah i heard about that already lol, but just duping the founder pack
New world GG already , all the exploits being used in war, i also quit already.

I heard from my friend , RUS and KR have pay2win aspect in cash store.
KR mmo is grindy one la , BDO same same.
leveling is pretty fast i would say , the main story will bring you to lv50 in no time.
max lv50 only what

did you open a new steam account or making purchase to change your region?

Exitag user here, what I did was connect to germany vpn for browser and steam. Then I made a new steam account and log in on steam. However even with vpn steam still can detect that im from malaysia for some reason. Now this is what I did.
1. Go to the store and add any item to your cart, then proceed to checkout. Do not pay anything.

2. At the checkout there is an option for me to select my country between malaysia and germany. I set it to germany, cancelled the checkout.

3. Now my steam is all in euros and I can search for lost ark amd download it.

I am still not sure if vpn is needed for playing the game or not. Also when I log into my main steam account I can also see lost ark on there

Btw anyone planning to start on eu? If not many sea community then might start on NA, but ping is gonna be higher

Yea, I opened a new US account.
Don't wanna risk my main account being ban for whatever reason.
Had a bit of hiccup when creating Steam account cause it detect my VPN.

These are the step I took:
1. start VPN, select US as the location.
2. create a new account at Steam website using new email, it should auto detect location as US.
3. when submitting the request, it will show VPN detected. stop VPN and submit again.
4. after the verification email is sent, START VPN again (US).
5. IMPORTANT!! ensure VPN is on when you verify the new account.
6. your new Steam account is now based in US. Steam Store shows $ pricing.
7. login to Steam app, search Lost Ark, pre-load. MUST BE DONE WITH VPN ON.
8. once it start to download, you can pause, off VPN and proceed download after.

This is how I managed to pre load yesterday night.
As I mentioned, I initially used ExitLag free trial but it doesn't work.
Windscribe did the trick for me, you could try with your own VPN 1st and see.
Hope this helps

is EU better ping? cause it seems like lots of SEA players are heading NA West.

tried 4 yrs ago.

even wolcen is better in terms of gameplay.

this is pure mmo

not arpg looter

It depends i guess , some having good ping in EU, but NA west definitely will have more ppl online at GMT+8 hours because PH / SG / APAC region. It varies.

I have a character in Valtan (NA West), but starting fresh one with friends in Akkan (NA West).

100% EU will have better ping compare to NA. But majority of sea/oce are going to na.

i mean, the ping in NA is not dealbreaker since tons of people playing NA west too.

i just used a random vpn from the chrome store... called touch vpn

i will try windscribe

anyone create lostark malaysia discord?

I am starting fresh for NA west later (Shandi server), if you are interested, can join this discord first (in the midst of setting up) . but you can prolly find more discord/facebook page at other place.

for those who cant download at steam after pressing play

- use full vpn
- change to NA region
- login steam, go lost ark, press play and have the game log into your library
- exit vpn
- relogin to steam, complete the download

i use mudfish vpn

yeap this is the best way

Anyone knows how big is the game files? Why is there a 50+ gb and a 70+ gb?

50gb is the downloaded compressed file
70gb is final game file

what vpn you are using?

mudfish vpn

Mudfish 10 chars

without using vpn, tmnut unifi
na west - 230+ ms
na east - 250+ ms
eu all server full cant test

Thanks! I followed and manage to play Lost Ark... now my brother is doing the same... hahaha

can you transfer server after create character. want to play at a server but it say cant create character on that server.

Which server(s) are most ppl from SEA/Oceania playing on?

Valtan if NA west, but that server you just have to wait they open and faster create.

You cant, so better to play on an established server if you wan to play long term.

This post has been edited by kenhoh91: Feb 12 2022, 10:58 PM

valtan is full

what server to join ?

Valtan was open this morning for long time. Not sure now. But most of my guildies are in valtan. They open servers at different times.

I have followed the step and manage to register steam account but I cant download the game ?

What should I do now ?

Vpn on (us or other west region) when dl.
Once it start u can turn off vpn

Mari, Enviska, Akkan has SEA / OCE players - Just that Valtan has the majority

You can join the OCE discord, it has Malaysia / SG section : https://discord.com/invite/muqYpwkHCv

i am in NA West, Bergstrom
ign : Euse

what class should i play ?

do you guys need a heal ? bard ?

or paladin ?

U won't really play only one character. But for first character, play the one u like first. There is no holy trinity AFAIK.

T1 and T2 no need healers, but once T3 upper legion raids comes, every party needs a healer, tanker will be prioritized

i successfully got it in my main steam accounts library already.
but honestly quite frustrating and mafan process.

My friends used a simplified process directly to their main steam account and it worked for them. Here's how they did it.

1. download proton VPN (its free) - use any free US server
2. open +login your steam account
3. run proton VPN
4. when connected, open this link - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1599340/Lost_Ark/
5. click play + u already have steam +open in steam
6. when download starts, u can switch off VPN already

so i am wondering, did any of you using alt steam account that is non malaysia manage to buy something from the lost ark cash shop?

since you guys know that if using the vpn method to get an alt steam account in other region, you actually don't need vpn to play the game, with this, all the prices for items in cash shop for the game will be in RM. did any of you manage to buy them in RM?

and not getting blocked by steam? purchases or even access to the game. just wondering

does you guys have better experience playing with VPN or it just the same ?

for me its only improved by 20-40ms with vpn, i am fine without vpn

getting 230-250ping with Unifi. Still acceptable for me.

which servers are you playing ?

Mari servers ping is around 400-500 when I playing

i am playing at valtan. use mudfish get around 170-200ms

Slen on EU i think
Azena on NA
Lodan on NA

i tested these 3 server.

If we use VPN, what happen when the game launch here in this region?

1k ingame currency = rm43 (was suppose to be USD 43), but dont dare press the button, feel like its a bait to get ban lol

if amazon(under steam) get the right to publish for Sea region, ntg happen.
but i recall both CN,TW publish right already taken, i think its the same for SEA region

I don't think they allow to transfer character. So need to start new. I was wondering how to start new when your steam account has already been linked to another region?

Either they do it like bdo , diff app for sea and na.
Or jz open up sea server from the list, technically saying theres no link to another region becoz once u can launch the game u already can make different account for each na/eu/sa server

I'm pretty sure 1k ingame currency = 10USD = RM43

The game is really F2P friendly though since you can buy crystals ingame. Already farmed about 4k crystals so far

play in NA, press G need wait 0.5~1 second in between
play in Asia, press G no delay

haha

Remind me of Vindictus where i keep wondering why theres never a SEA server, and answer is because China Region actually including SEA region as well( dint know China publisher bought it, or korean bulk sell it), yet they dint even intend to invest any server in SEA. Hopefully they dint do it again this time. SEA region lack of good mmo for long time already

Really doubt we will get any SEA soon or ever. Since most publisher here are aiming for how can they make the most money in a short amount of time. Even maple story 2 died before SEA got any publisher to grab it.
Most mmo that are still "surviving" rn in malaysia market. Are usually those extremely P2W games.
