  • As shocking as it may be osu! has been keeping these countries secret from you. You may not even know they exist, but rest assured the servers prove that they do. In all seriousness, osu!'s "secret" countries have been a fun little piece of technical lore throughout the game's history.

      @@peachmf what's your logic here? If he was there while creating the account VPN would make it look like he registered from even different country
      If he was outside NK but used VPN with NK (to my knowledge only one exists and i only bought it for that reason) it still would be provable whether it was VPN or not as NK VPNs aren't located in Pyongyang but Manpo which is located at the border with China

      i made my osu account without any vpn, osu website was accessible on my north korean ip address. when my ama reddit post blew up, osu staff was informed about this (i think ppy as well) and they learned that i was a canadian living in north korea. osu staff changed my flag to reflect my nationality. kind of sad that i didn't get to keep the flag tho :(

    ive never even touched osu once in my life but i often find region stuff on games/platforms very interesting, especially in terms of what countries/territories they allow to be picked, and what flags they allow to be shown. one question i have about the obscure countries like anonymous proxy and satelite provider, is there any known way to actually trigger those?

    • @tarragon111
      @tarragon111 Год назад +9

      i think you can trigger them by having a satellite data provider instead that it cant detect or using a private proxy thats hides any trace of your location

    @farbelfabio361 Год назад +7

    0:55 wrong. The country that shows where your from (where you registered your account from) is on your profile page but IN osu! itself it shows where you are right now. So it doesnt trick the servers into thinking your from that country it only may trick the servers to thinking you are there right now.
    For examample I am german and rigestered my account in germany therefore the country shown on my profile page is germany. If I was going into another country like switzerland then I wouldnt change on the user page because that doesnt show current location however it would change in osu! when you hover over the player tag thing.
