MapleStory 2, welcome.

I am guessing it will have strictly limited service areas due to being much more dependent on low latency. That's assuming they don't make the same mistake of letting the client do things on its own.

I guessed the same, there are a number of proxies that work (fairly sure I'm not allowed to mention any here though?) for most games that have IP bans, but it'd be nice if they'd make the EU version release at the same time so it isn't necessary.
