Also if you buy Mass Effect 3 do note that getting the Best ending its apparently a pain in the ass if you dont play in multiplayer. (Dickish move by EA)
[COLOR="#cc8899"]I understand WHY it's treated as an American IP - what I'm surprised at is that it's even possible. It does make sense, especially for things like government/official websites that servicemembers would need access to that may not work outside of the US, I'm just amused that less than a mile of distance can have that effect. Also, it's kindof exploitable. Lol. I'm also just glad to have a work-around.
I ran into the same thing with Nexon's games - I can play them on-base at the internet lounge (like any public wifi, it tends to be slow/unreliable though), but not at my apartment. Very amusing to me, honestly. Kindof like standing on a state boundary and hopping back and forth over the "line."[/COLOR]
