South Korea Access

I'm currently living in South Korea and was wondering what the release of POE2 will look like here. I know POE 1 is published by Kakao Games making the Steam version impossible to play. Will it be the same with POE 2 or will the Steam version be available to play? I'm just looking for some clarification.

Dear CoryA, could you please provide answer for me too?

I’m having a similar issue and could really use some advice.

I bought early access, but since my main Steam account is linked to South Korea, I wasn’t able to redeem the Steam key. As a workaround, I redeemed it on a second Steam account that’s registered outside South Korea. However, my PoE account is still somehow linked to my South Korean Steam account, which means I can’t access the game with the second one.

From what I’ve read, it seems the only solution is to de-link my South Korean Steam account and link it to the second one. I already reached out to support, but I heard it can take up to 3 weeks (or even longer due to the release period) to get a response. On top of that, some people mentioned that I might be asked to provide security info, which makes me worry this whole process could take months.

Is there’s a faster solution? I’d appreciate any guidance or tips. Thanks in advance!

CoryA_GGG could you PM on this issue. I have the global client downloaded and was able to play for about 5/6 days with no issue. Now it says i am locked out and waiting on an unlock code.

I am an American living in South Korea. Do i need to just play using a VPN?
