Hello, long time lurker first time poster. I read that 403 is caused by firewall/antivirus programs or that edge wasn’t updated. I’m hoping this isn’t a region issue (In Korean playing the western free trial on a Japanese server instead of playing the Nexon held ones). Thank you in advance.
Korea and China have their own regional locks, so you can’t play the NA/EU/JP/OCE versions of the game under normal circumstances. There’s an IP lock in place.
You’ll have to either play the Korean version if in Korea or use a VPN to trick the system to thinking you’re not there.
I am playing from korea too and i am having the same error. I used mudfish vpn at first, but suddenly I noticed I didn’t need to use the vpn to start the launcher, somehow the game started to think I was outside korea. But maybe they started to block IPs again with the new expansion?
What vpns would you recommend? I have UltraSurf on hand but are there better options?
Edit: No need to reply, I got Windscribe and that fixed the issue. My game worked fine yesterday, dont know why it would block me all of a sudden, but regardless, thank you!
It was fine a few days ago, so maybe. I struggled a bit yesterday to find a properly working vpn, but settled on Ultrasurf. I’m honestly a little concerned but the launcher works now so not much worth in worrying.
