Why dont you start fresh char somewhere? Because you've spent time and money on equipment and you dont wanna lose it.
If I had chance to start on EU server 8 years ago i would've started there (In fact, Franz was an actual EU server). Problems of NCsoft that lead to separation of the company is not my problem as a player, as well as political path of USA.
There was no restriction to the country when my char was created, no restriction when NCWest started to operate our servers, no restriction when Innova started to control CIS region, no restriction or warning when I buy NC coins and prestige pack. Then why do we have restriction now, when it's too late to start over on new servers.
If i was warned to move to Innova servers when Innova started to operate I would move, now it's too late. Too much time and money spent on freaking Naia + huge gear gap between old and new players on Innova servers.
If NCWest doesnt want those people from the blocked countries list to use their services they have to provide transfer options and have to stop accepting money from the people of this countries.
The best option to solve this dilemma will be allowing old players to play safely, but close an option to create new accounts (which is already closed).
