The European community [IP-restriction]
So today the IP-restricion on almost every European country is created. I do understand that it was made with good intentions, but honestly, you just failed really hard this time. MOD's please do not close this topic before you saw what I typed and don't give me some standard comment.

As you see on this map nearly every European country has been blocked, also big parts of the east-block and Asia. For Asia and the east-block it isn't really a problem, they will still have their own versions. However the countries in central Europe which are a big part of the European competitive community are blocked.
Don't tell me something like "You can still use your old account", for the competitive section this isn't important. Since today we have no option to welcome new players to to start playing Crossfire competitive. There used to be a big group of EU's coming from other games, and only a few people coming from pubclans.
I expect that the European-competitive section will slowly die and the UK players might start playing in the North-American leagues and tournament, or maybe it will just an UK based European community.
Another question that was in my mind is why didn't you guys block Africa and the countries from the middle-east? Weren't these countries know for their insane lag and massive use of hacks? This might not have anything to do with competitive play, but I still like to know.
At this moment I think there are two solutions, one easy one, and one that is going to cost you money.
I think I can say this for all the competitive Euro's and Dutchies that today, you made a huge fail. It was made with good intentions, however it didn't work out.
I hope you did undestand what I was trying to see, sorry for my grammar and spelling mistakes, English isn't my native language.

- Delete the IP restrictions for the Europe countries that do not have an average ping above 100. However do block the North-African and West-Asian countries. These are the one known for the current hacking problems.
- Or you could give the Europeans a server located somewhere in central Europe(France,Belgium,Netherlands,Germany), and block the Countries I mentioned in my previous option. I know you don't have license for that, but you should have thought about that before enforcing the IP-restriction.

Why is everyone in the community under the impression that these restrictions were carried out for reasons such as latency, and the use of hacks? It has nothing to do with this. Clearly no one in this community understands business/law.
Why would you restrict Europe then? We obviously do have more money and spend more, and give alot less problems.
