ExitLag - LostArk

Cant wait to play this. Been waiting for years :D
Note : I have not yet Installed this, will do that tonight and confirm.

Process:
Have a buddy from overseas log into your steam account.
add some cheap game to your cart - I used Baldur's Gate.
Go to cart, Update Store preferences (should be visible in your cart) and add overseas payment method. (remember to reimburse your buddy xD)
Remember to remove Baldur's Gate xD
While still in cart page, go to store and lookup Lost Ark, I added the 15$ varient of the Founder's Edition. Added bonus :).
Complete the transaction.
Then you log out and back in SA side.

Big side note, your cart will remain in whatever currency your buddy purchased with for 3 months, after that you can change it back to SA.
Hope this helps

And this isn't contravening steams tos by "hot" swapping your currency and country in a single day?

Probably safer than the vpn route...
 
A twittard outrage along the lines of 'kinda racist that the entire continent of africa is excluded from playing your game' should have this sorted in a matter of hours yes ;);)

No offence, but why don't you chaps just play POE, it's got a local server so no weird hoops, lol.

I have actually just started playing PoE, but personally I would prefer a more MMO experience. Yes PoE is not a bad game, but there is just the mmo element that is missing for me personally, but nothing wrong with PoE.
 
So far so good, download the game a few hours ago. linked my amazon acc with my Lost Ark account. Now to wait for 5PM so I can play the bajeebus out of this game (./hopeful) :D
 
Hope you guys can help, whats the best way to get this going ? Vpn to germany, new steam account and then add free to play and you good to go ?
 
Cool thanks, dont have an amazon account so will go the vpn route
 
Just an update. All good so far. Just created a new character and playing on Slen server. Did not have to wait in a queue.
Will update if anything changes.
 
I had a good chuckle at myself looking a the release times for Lost ark for today...

Seeing 10 am ET, I thought I could just switch on at 10 am sast, set to USA New York, and game time. haha.
 
Not sure what you guys do, but while I am on a VPN I cannot create a new steam account for a different region?

Actually quite easy:

  1. Log out of current stream account from your steam client
  2. Switch on your vpn to a region that has lost ark e.g. london, usa, germany
  3. Open incognito browser window
  4. Register a new steam account (confirm email > create > login)
  5. After logged in with new account go to Lost Art and click Add/Preload > yes have steam
  6. Log into steam and let it preload/download
If you are can't for some reason do 5 and 6, what I did was add something from the store to your cart, go to your cart and select currency in which country your vpn is (change country), then click on store again, search for Lost Ark, click download/preload
 
On step 4 , it even pre-populates Netherlands for me on the steam page (incognito), since that is what my VPN is set to. But I click go to register and it just keeps taking me back to the Captcha screen over and over again.

Sometimes it even says you cannot create a steam account while on a VPN or Proxy.

What VPN you using, current I am on Hide.me
