Can confirm that the codes will work for any region that this version of Lost Ark is available in (so just not KR/JP/RU clients)

That is quite literally the name he goes by in the West

The official stance on this is that VPNs are not allowed due to both Valve and Amazon ToS.

The reference can be found in section 5.2 of Amazon ToS: https://www.amazon.com/help/ags/terms

Even if you are not using the VPN to get around Geographic Restrictions specifically, our legal team has informed me they are still not allowed to be used, so I must advise not to use them as your account may be banned.

Monetization is being locked right now (so within the next couple days), Road map will come post launch

I’ll always share and crosspost here of course, but in this case it was some pretty big news, so much more exciting to have a lil surprise announcement than drop a forum post first

Unfortunately we won’t have a public API at launch, this could be revisited in the future hopefully

Hi there,

Unfortunately this will not be changing prior to launch due to my previous mentions in this thread. We may revisit this post launch, and if/when that happens we will provide an opportunity for players to change their names without cost

I most recently said we were evaluating the timeline, and that timeline has been evaluated and set! While things are moving quickly so close to launch (which is normal) we were planning on announcing on stream today – I understand wanting info as soon as possible in many cases, but for something like this since the moment was so close we wanted to celebrate with the community on stream so I couldn’t spill the beans

This is correct!

Dragging this post up to confirm the Berserker rework will be present at launch!

Greetings heroes,

Today we wanted to share that Lost Ark’s recent upgrade to DirectX 11 will be available in our version of the game at launch! This means that you will see improved framerates and performance, leading to an overall smoother gameplay experience.

As always, thank you for your patience as we worked to integrate this upgrade into our version of the game. We’ll see you in Arkesia next week!

No plans for it at this time unfortunately

Not before launch, but we want to revisit that in the future (and if/when that happens we would provide a unpaid opportunity for name changes for players already in the game)

There aren’t many changes we can put in place before launch at this point, but we are definitely willing to revisit chat filters in the future – appreciate the suggestion!

There is nothing banning the use of any languages in chat; even if preferred language servers are put in place at some point in the future, using different languages would not be strictly enforced or bannable

We are discussing the potential for this, but since it is not currently a feature we will need to discuss with SGR to see if it can be developed and implemented smoothly (and at this point our launch build is locked in, so it would not be available at launch if it happens)

While errors causing issues when communicating in languages other than English have been improved, I do not have an additional update to share at this time

We are not unable, which is why I did not use that word. The decision was made not to due to a variety of concerns surrounding proximity to launch, uncertainties around server population and stability, no current server transfer features, and the way cross-server play is implemented for several game features across regions.

At this time, we will not be adding preferred language tags to servers for Lost Ark’s launch next week.

We do understand player concern about finding and playing with language-based communities, so with tags being unavailable in game, we want to promote and point to the work that players have already done to start organizing across servers.

There is also a Guild/Community Directory available here and an ...

Hey all, here with an update.

Unfortunately at this time, we will not be adding preferred language tags to servers. I understand there is healthy concern from players about finding and playing with language-based communities, so with tags being unavailable in game, I do want to promote and point to the work that players have already done to start organizing across servers.

This is the latest I have seen, but if this has since been updated please let me know.
