Dear Jussi!
Heat Online is celebrating!
Our first anniversary on August the 1st turned out to be a very special occassion: we are free from the IP Ban!
Normally MMO's present players with special sales events, what we also do until the end of this week.
However.. this time we received the greatest gift we could ever think of: rights to operate Heat Online worldwide!

Level-R is Free from IP limitations
5th August 2011
Today is a great day in the history of Level-R!
Gamigo, the European operator of Level-R has joined the IP Ban Rebel Alliance, and One Life, operating Level-R in Indonesia announced it is joining the Alliance on the 25th.
Innologin with Heat Online being already a Rebel by the end of this month all players around the globe would be free to choose any of the 3 Level-R servers.
The new policy gives freedom to operators as well as it allows and not enforces operators to accept players from all over the world.
This is the end of an era of regional licenses signed between 2005 and 2010.
An era that involved dark times when agreements had to be validated no matter it split and crushed communities.
Times when players desperately connected to forbidden servers via proxy - causing lag to everyone.
Invictus understood the shortcomings of IP limitation but could do nothing until Gamepot assigned it back Level-R rights early this year.
Since that had happened a great deal of negotiation has been carried out with the operators to achieve what players asked for since the very beginning:a really Free to Play game.
Forget proxies and Enjoy Level-R!
