For example Black Desert. Many people including my self were waiting for it and when it was released I couldn't play it because even tho it's EU server half of Europe can't access it. But good guy RU server allowed to join so I still got to test it. Unfortunately this isn't an option for Vindictus since there is no RU server...

The reason your country couldn't access the BDO EU server is because some Russian company has licensed the game for "Russian Federation, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and the territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia." (This is from the Russian BDO license agreement webpage.)

I'm guessing that something similar applies to Vindictus. Some company somewhere has probably licensed Nexon products (including Vindictus) for former Soviet territories. Unlike BDO, they're too lazy to actually launch a Russian Vindictus, but a license agreement would still mean that they have exclusive rights to potential customers in these territories, and Nexon "Global" would have to IP block these players.

It's like the Baseball "World" Series which is only contested by US teams and one team from Canada.

Trying to destroy scrolls now shows a nag screen telling me that it's "a valuable item" & am I "sure that I want to destroy it?".

Yeah, a Rank C Pain Enchant Scroll is so incredibly valuable. What was I thinking trying to destroy it ?
