Do You Need a VPN to Play Blue Protocol on the Japanese Servers?
Blue Protocol is certainly one of the most anticipated MMO’s of the year – but some players have been a little bummed that the global release has been pushed until 2024. If you’re planning on playing the game on the Japanese servers, you may have a lot of questions, such as, “How do you download the game?” Or, “Do you need a VPN to play?” Here are the answers to your questions.
If you haven’t downloaded Blue Protocol yet but you plan to play the game on the Japanese servers, we’ve created a handy guide that will help you install the BANDAI NAMCO Launcher, and create your account. Now that the game has released, and most of the server and log in issues have subsided, you may want to know whether a VPN is required to play the game. At the time of this article, you do not need a VPN to log into the game and play.
This is certainly good news for gamers that just want to jump in and not have to worry about being denied access due to their region. During the launch of Blue Protocol the team was bombarded by login requests, and had to bring down their servers for maintenance as they ramped up the number of users that could accept at one time. At no time did BANDAI NAMCO limit the IP Regions of those attempting to connect, and players have since been able to access the game without issue. It is highly unlikely that BANDAI NAMCO will reverse this policy in the future, so for those of you that were concerned that you needed a VPN to play, fear not! You can jump into Blue Protocol now for free, without a VPN!
