region block problem

[GODMOTHER]

I was playing maple story back in Australia and it stopped working in Hong Kong. Steam doesnt even show the launch game button. I've googled a bit and they said its the region block problem. I really want to keep playing Maple story....
Does anyone know what I can do to keep playing in Hong Kong?

Which version of MS were you playing?
GMS, KMS, CMS, JMS, EMS, etc?
Global MapleStory (NA), Korean MS, Chinese MS, Japanese MS, European MS.

Im not sure... haha
I just searched Maple story and theres only one Maple story avaliable in there. and i downloaded that

[GODMOTHER]

Then just download it from the website:
http://maplestory.nexon.net/support/game-download

[GODMOTHER]

is it the whole game?

The website came before MS was available on steam... at least 8 years before.
You could say that Steam MS is the website MS - because it is LOL.

I don't know of any way to play around the region block problem, but you could try opting for a Virtual Private Network (VPN) like hotspot shield. It's pretty laggy when you play behind a proxy though.
