Dragomon Hunter is a cute and colorful member of a long line of usurpers to the Monster Hunter throne, though there's probably room for quite a few and the free-to-play PC MMO seems to stand adjacent anyhow. The gameplay is action oriented and requires individual basic attacks to be aimed, much like Dragon Nest and Tera. Along with four different classes, pet companions and more, Dragomon Hunter paves the way as X-Legend's greatest title. French version and American version. 

Aeria Games also announced the all-star cast who will lend their voices to Dragomon Hunter recently! In addition to localized voiceover in English and French, the anime-style MMORPG will feature the option to switch to the original Japanese voices. Players or fans will be able to enjoy performances from some of their favorite voice actors.
  • Minori Chihara, Samurai Gun & The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
  • Haruka Tomatsu, Sword Art Online
  • Toshiyuki Morikawa, Bleach & Naruto
  • Maaya Uchida, Hunter X Hunter
  • Tetsuya Kakihara, Fairy Tail
  • Miyuki Sawashiro, Lupin III
  • Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, No Game No Life
  • Kanae Itou, Shugo Chara
Its North America and Europe version released in both English and French. If you want to play on American server or French server, use a VPN service to unblock the geographic restrictions and get a fast speed. VPNs allow users to securely access a private network and share data remotely through a specific tunnel. The service is created for players who prefer to hide their IP and use another IP.

Tree of Savior will launch International CBT2 this month

Tree of Savior's Global Closed Beta 2 is scheduled to begin in October, the exact date haven't been published. The game is developed by IMC Games, founded by Mr Hakkyu Kim, also known as the "father of Ragnarok Online" since he led the game's development back in the early days at Gravity.

Tree of Savior CBT2

Marikim, admin of Tree of Savior, has announced that the upcoming second international CBT will be set this month. This will effectively double the population from August's initial beta. Existing testers from first CBT plus 5,000 new testers, more than 10,000 beta testing participants in total will be given the opportunity to test Tree of Savior for approximately one full month! 

With the upcoming beta around the corner, prepare yourselves with the Newbie Tips prepared by seasoned testers. If you want to shoot for a key, the best advice we can give you is to register on the official site of Tree of Savior, as that is where the studio drew its testing pool last time around.

Some regions have already gotten its publisher, such as South Korea, China, and even Indonesia. Is IMC Games really launching Tree of Savior as a global game for the English market on Steam? The answer is, no, this Steam version is just for players who do not have local publishers. Tree of Savior is also awaiting Open Beta in South Korea. All Korea players can play its OBT then. 

Player blocked by the game because your location don't authorized by the game can do a tricky to get access this game. This method is called a 'VPN' or 'Virtual Private Network'. VPN service is a highly recommended method for bypassing geo-restrictions. It is like a turbocharged proxy system that helps you to be completely anonymous online. Connect to a Korea server or China server to change your IP address to server's IP. VPN can quite easily to match up an IP address with its owner, and hide your physical location.

The difference between Broadband, VPN and Proxy

Broadband

Broadband is a wide bandwidth data transmission with an ability to simultaneously transport multiple signals and traffic types. Even though information signals generally travel between 40% and 70% of the speed of light in the medium no matter what the bit rate, higher rate services are often marketed as "faster" or "higher speeds". 

Broadband service is defined as requiring transmission channels capable of supporting bit rates greater than the primary rate which ranged from about 1.5 to 2 Mbit/s by standards group CCITT in 1988In the US National Broadband Plan of 2009 it was defined as "Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access".

On January 29, 2015 the FCC voted to update its broadband benchmark speeds to 25 megabits per second (Mbit/s) downloads and 3 Mbit/s for uploads. The 4/1 Mbit/s previous standard set in 2010 is outdated and inadequate, the FCC found.


VPN

A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network, such as the Internet. A VPN is created by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, virtual tunneling protocols, or traffic encryption. A VPN gives a computer an IP address on a distant network. The VPN software will usually manipulate the computer routing tables to change the default route.

Generally speaking, there are only two types of VPN: the remote-access or connecting a computer to a network, and the site-to-site or connecting two networks. Remote-access is used inside one building only, while site-to-site is outside the office.


Proxy

In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. Proxies were invented to add structure and encapsulation to distributed systems. Today, most proxies are web proxies, facilitating access to content on the World Wide Web and providing anonymity.

There are also different kinds of proxy servers, such as Proxy Servers (open servers), HTTP Proxy Servers, SOCKS Proxy Servers, Public Proxy Servers, Private Proxy Servers, and Web Proxies. Each of them has different methods of providing online privacy.

VPN VS Proxy

By principle, VPN and proxy are the same. But VPN works differently which makes it more reliable than proxy sites. It is very important that you know they are the same and how they are different from each other.

Both VPNs and proxy sites hide your real IP address and therefore hiding your real identity. Your web traffic is being routed to a proxy server or VPN server. It will not appear as coming from your computer. A proxy site can be thought of as a web filter, so as a VPN.

But here's the main difference between VPNs and proxy sites in terms of reliability. Unlike VPN servers, proxy servers do not have to devote resources to encrypting all traffic that passes through them, and therefore can accept simultaneous connections from a great many more users (typically tens of thousands). VPN traffic is encrypted while normal proxy doesn't offer encryption. With this problem, proxies are not totally safe if you're in a region such as in the Middle East where there is a very strict Internet censorship. Similarly, using proxy while surfing the net in a Wi-Fi hotspot is not guaranteed Internet safetyA VPN service encrypts all of your traffic, replacing your ISP and routing ALL traffic through the VPN server, including all programs and applications.

If all servers give high ping, resort to a VPN. 
You choose choose some VPNs that provide free accounts. You can check ping on these trial version. If the speed not meet your needs, you don't need to pay for it. Here I would like to recommend FlyVPN, containing servers in different locations and offer free VPN accounts everyday. Below is a brief guide on how to setup VPN.
  1. Download FlyVPN client from https://www.flyvpn.com/download.
  2. After installed, run it, a window will pop up require to enter account. Use their free VPN username and password. 
  3. Click the server you want to use, then tap Connect button. The servers in these two accounts are different, so login with another trial account if you can't find the server you need.
  4. Once connected, you can check ping with the method mentioned above.
