Quarrel Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I have moved to shanghai recently and its upsetting to find out that SWTOR.com is blocked (as so is the game). I have to use a VPN to play the game here. Why is it blocked? Why can't I log into the game or even view this website without a VPN?? Is there any hopes to opening servers in China? Will this be fixed? Or does bioware/EA even care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandi Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 What kind of nonsensical logic spawned this post? It's obviously the Chinese government that blocked the site and the game. Ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BW didn't, hence it's blocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kourage Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 It's impossible to discuss this because the answer has to do with politics, and we get warnings or infractions for discussing politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reevax Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 The Chinese Government blocks many many many sites. Not sure why you are trying to blame Bio/EA for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
