Registration Guide
(Elsword?m???????n is the site for it, but you don't need to go there. At all.)

.....If you can manage to download it, that is.

Yes, the Hong Kong version of the game is now out, and unlike the korean and taiwanese versions of the game, there is no need for any sort of identification number! No risk of international identity theft here! However, only the original three characters are available right now. Not a problem for me, but it might be a problem for those of you who like robot arms or slapping your enemies to death.

Want to join? Here's what you need to do:

First, go here: https://www.gamania....gistration.aspx

I've made a handy guide:

(The lowercase only part had me stumped for a bit. Thankfully, Babelfish CAN come through sometimes.)

After that, you do the normal check your e-mail and click the link thing to confirm. Upon clicking the link, you will be shown a list of games (HK Grand Chase is there too!), buttons below them, and an accept button at the bottom. I'm sure you can figure out what to do here..... (Hint: The game's title is written in english.)

Congratulations! You just made a Gamania account that can access HKElsword! Now here's the bad/annoying part, now you have to download the client.

Now, I am currently downloading the client, going through Hong Kong proxy after Hong Kong proxy to access the faster download, as the normal downloads not only went horribly slow, but also cut off well before they were finished. If I do manage to get the entire client, I will upload it on Megaupload, but if you want to try for yourself and see if you have any better luck, or maybe be a hero and upload it to a non-HK friendlier server before I do, or better yet, ARE in Hong Kong and are willing to help some foreigners get in, here are the download locations:

The sucky downloads (split into three parts):
Elsword ?U??
(Note: In both Firefox AND Internet Explorer, the damn things stop downloading and say they're complete LONG before they are finished for me. Maybe you will have better luck, just be prepared to leave it on overnight.)

The good download:
Elsword ?U??
(Note: It will not let you download if your IP is from a country other than Hong Kong. You're going to have to find a Hong Kong proxy that works, and will last the entire +8 hours it will still take to download it, or keep on finding new ones when they die out on you. They have a tendancy to do that.)

After you get the client, however you get it, that should be it. Have fun!

Reminder: When playing on foreign versions of any MMORPG, please try to make as little a presence as you possibly can. Don't speak english in public or other such things to attract negative attention. If foreigners are deemed too much of a problem, they WILL kick us out by blocking all foreign IPs.

A few updates:

Megaupload:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GORL2K54

Problems with Windows Vista and Windows 7: If you try to run the client, and it never actually loads, or the window gets a clickable button below it, and then the .exe becomes unrunnable (reinstall it), you're going to have to disable any firewalls you have, right click the client, then select "Run as Administrator". It should then run the patcher. (Note: It'll still take a while, give it some time before giving up on it.)

The slow download speed is not an indication of how laggy the game will be, by the way.


Some things of note:

-Despite the slow download speeds, the game does NOT lag badly. Slight lag in picking up items, but that's it. Haven't tried playing with any locals yet though.
-There's only two character slots. (It's probably for the best. Now I won't be tempted to make an Elsword named "Elebro". Yes, I'm a horrible person.)
-Despite only having the first three characters and no job advancements, the HK version already has recent features such as the towns, four skill keys, and the new SP distribution system.

It's the installer. There's a patch you'll have to download for the first time though.

After that though, you can load up the game as you normally would on Vista/Windows 7.

Yep.

Have to reinstall, disable any firewalls you have, and right-click the client and select Run as Administrator.

After the patch, you can load it normally, firewall up and all.

Only thing I can think of is to try changing your system settings to Chinese.

Go to Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options. Click on the Advanced tab, then select "Chinese (Hong Kong)" for language for non-unicode programs.

See if that helps.

Also, second jobs are now out, and the level cap is 35 (up from 30).

Not sure if I should post here or in support/help section (it has to do with the Hong-Kong server, but it may be related to my computer).

When I log in I get a graphics problem. When in town the background is all grey, the NPC's are still there as well as some graphics like clouds, but the rest is grey. Once in a while the background returns but its gone again once i switch maps. Also non of the other players char appear in town, just the name and lvls appear at the bottom of my screen. This doesn't affect gameplay as I can still move and click on NPC's. This might be do to the fact I live in Canada and its just lag or poor connection, but I don't get this problem when in dungeons, everything loads fine there, its just laggy. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or if theres a way I can fix this from my end or in game (changing settings ...etc). If someone can help me that be great.

P.S. If this is postede in the wrong section I'll repost in the proper section or if it can be moved then thats fine.

Thanks
