Monster Rancher Online

[Choumaru]

Yes, the long awaited Monster Farm Online has been re-released in Japan after two years beta testing.
If you never heard of this franchise, its because here in the western world it was dub Monster Rancher.

Any ways I was starting this thread to see if anyone else want to play it, or is playing it.

The office site is here (http://www.mf-lagoon.jp/)
Also if needed I'll also post helping on how to become a member if need it since the site is in Japanese.

Any ways for those that have played I need help on how to start the game.

I think you need a japanese ip address....

I wish I could read japanese so that I could fully understand this game, I'm gunna see if there's a translation project for this game out anywhere over the internets

it appears from another forum you need to use "VPN"....? to get around the games ip blocking system

 

[elixirdream]

true.. nothing is as good as playing it in english
+1 for translation

[DarkWay]

well I'm either not looking hard enough or there is no translation project anywhere

....YET

 

[Choumaru]

So what do you need after you download the game and start it?
I get some kinda error when it tries to start up.

DUDE!
If this comes in english, hell yeah!
If anyone gets it working, please tell how XD

 

[Choumaru]

This is as far as I get

 

[DarkWay]

the game has an IP blocker and another forum mentioned using "VPN" (I have no idea what this is, I'm tech savvy but not /that tech savvy even if it is something basic) to get around the IP blocker.

I was going to give this game a really good go at but I'm lacking in the japanese language department and I find that with this game it will be a HUGE barrier, it also seems there is no translation project anywhere on the net for this beauty which is a real shame so now I'm grasping at hope for an EU or US release which I doubt =/ which only leaves grasping at hope that somebody will attempt to start up a trnaslation project and get a team together but this will probably only happen if the game is deemed popular enough as I know the digimon online game got a translation as that was popular enough (this one was nothing to do with gbatemp as far as I know). so I guess I'm going to miss out

I saw a few other American's play it on youtube so I will bug them until I found out how to do it. ^^
I think the reason why is because it has a loyal fan base but that it.

The last game released, Evo had poor sales and reviews so we may not see a English Version

 

[Choumaru]

I just found what VPN means ^^

So in other words, i think get a JAP ip and log in

 

[Edgedancer]

Do you have to put disks in the computer or what?

 

[Choumaru]

Still No idea.
No one on here has got it working I know of yet
