MGO Beta JP Sign up page closed

As many of us may know the Japanese Metal Gear Online Beta premier is upon us. From a tutorial that surfaced on how to go about obtaining a Konami ID as well as a MGO Beta Key code. Due to the accumulative Sign ups from different regions from this tutorial. Konami has blocked any IP that does not originate from Japan. From the original source of the article users are claiming getting an "error page" that states "This product code issue page is service for Japan only." This is by all mean no error. Even if you "fake" your IP address by other means, there still the possibility Konami will block all outside IP not from Japan.

This type of action is not unheard of since Capcom has done it with Monster Hunter Frontier for the PC and Bandai/Namco for Gundam MMO(Which was shut down.) These titles are/were only available for the Japanese market. If you were successful in obtaining a Japanese Beta key code for MGO don't consider yourself lucky just yet. As the schedule date for the Japanese beta download is approaching. That key code might not be valid or become blocked since you're IP address is not a Japanese one. Al tho some people who successfully singed up for Capcom's Monster Hunter Frontier (PC) are still playing to this day and some of the users are not in Japan. So give or take its not 100% guaranteed that you will be blocked or not.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Mr_Kuwabara5862d ago

I got my beta codes from pre-order, you guys should've done the same if you had the chance instead of getting it online.

One of a kind case, nice 20th Anniversary DVD with almost all the trailers released for MGS4 along with a nice explanation of the Snake family all for free. =P

sandip7875862d ago

MGS4 servers were closed after only 4 years, by the way https://www.metalgearinform...

Welshy969d ago

Don't remind me, my favourite online game of all time :(

Giblet_Head969d ago

It's been brought back with RPCS3, if you're curious to get back into it.

I played this game recently. This is a problem because infiltrating online bases is by FAR the best way to get money.

During the actual game i made a few mill doing story missions, and procuring equipment, but with the online wallet, I had 100m+ in a few hours.

Not to mention you'd need to create online FOBs to max your gear.

Was hoping there would be a next gen patch to make the idroid a little less laggy. Really, a masterpiece of a game.

SDuck969d ago

And that's why online elements in single player games will never be welcomed by me

MasterChief3624969d ago

Remember that the services for Phantom Pain on Xbox One, PS4 and PC are still going to be online. But it is only a matter of time, I suppose.

GhostofHorizon969d ago

Are there any trophies or achievements tied to online?

Dark_Overlord969d ago

Actually 3, Intruder, Deterrence and Disarmament. You have to connect to the online to finish building the Nuke and get the trophy, meaning you can't disarm it either without online.

MetroidFREAK21969d ago

I still need to play these games. I have the PS3 versions

franwex969d ago

The online component is really helpful with online connectivity. You get minerals and stuff while you sleep to build up your base.

MetroidFREAK21969d ago

I don't think I'll get to it before the online service is shut down

Metal Gear Online is back, thanks to custom servers

We’ve seen custom servers bring loads of online PC games back from the dead, and emulation has provided a way for plenty of old console games to live on modern hardware. You probably see where this is going. Yes, a group of enterprising fans have put together custom servers to bring back the PlayStation 3’s take on Metal Gear Online, commonly known as Metal Gear Online 2.

I play MGO 1 still on my Original PS2 still... Online of course

franwex1021d ago

What?
I had no idea we could still play this!

aaronaton1021d ago (Edited 1021d ago )

I play this and I would just say the skill gap is as large as ever. Headshots are key, and most players seems to be able to quickscope anyone from anywhere. This was always a thing on PS3 but it's even more pronounced due to higher frames rates on the rpcs3.

It's the toughest online shooter I've played in a long long time.

What more can Kojima do with this franchise when the saga is pretty much over?

The plot is pretty much wrapped up and Kojima has expressed many times he'd like to put the IP to rest. Anymore titles in the Snake saga would just turn Metal Gear into a zombie franchise..........oh wait!

-Foxtrot2405d ago (Edited 2405d ago )

It's a pre order code aswell

I mean it's bad enough it's Survive but not even a Collectors Edition of it or something

Salt in wound. They're right aswell the other prizes are better

GamesMaster19822405d ago

BlaqMagiq12404d ago

Wow Konami is punishing whoever wins first place? #FucKonami
