關於7/31許多台港澳玩家無法登陸IRO伺服器問題，GM團隊以證實正式封鎖台港澳地區的IP連線。以下為原文（手機發文請見諒）
Hello Everyone,
My apologies for the delay in our response. We were investigating what was going on with the login issues.
This is what we found:
Recently we received word to block login access from regions serviced by the twRO partner and our IT team implemented this change. Due to this we are prohibited from accepting direct access from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. However, users may still login through connections originating from North America and other regions we directly service.
Sadly, this is not something we can choose not to do as this decision came from above. If you are affected by the block, recently made purchases, and have no intention of playing please let us know in a ticket so we can assist you further.
Lastly, I want to apologize for any frustration this has caused. We could have handled this much better with notifications and postings and will strive to improve in the future.
If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them all day.
懶人包：
GM團隊已經證實台港澳地區IP已經完全封鎖並禁止與伺服器的直接連線！
對於此事件GM團隊是無法去拒絕和改變的，這項決策出自於“高層”，但用戶仍可透過北美以及尚可與伺服器直接連線的地區進行登陸。
個人感想：
爭議點在於，歐洲因為歐盟的法律關係導致IRO必須發布公告並開始封鎖歐洲的直接連線以免受罰。然而這次是以無預警通知並直接了當的封鎖台港澳地區的直接連線，我想心情多少會很糟糕……
我看我再去準備個VPN連線就好，TWRO我不想再回去(￣Д￣)
