Earlier this week, Sega of Japan apparently updated the Terms of Service for Phantasy Star Online 2 to mention that connections to the game servers from outside Japan were no longer allowed (including via proxy). This sent the PSO-World forums into a panic and caused people to invent all kinds of crazy rumors about IP bans.
To make matters worse, gaming blog Kotaku apparently picked up on this community freak-out and posted their own poorly-worded take on the issue.
Here's the bottom line: despite what Kotaku and the folks on PSO-World would have you believe, nobody has been banned from the game servers for living outside Japan. So log on and play (after downloading the huge content patch), have fun, and RELAX!

Thank God there are other people that think logically out there. No one is going to be IP banned. No one will be banned for living outsite of Japan. As a matter of fact, if they were going to do it they already would have.
This clause was also in the PSU JP ToS and nobody in the English speaking community ever got banned for living elsewhere. Rumors get spread and shit just goes wild. Like the person who started this thread said, JUST RELAX! Enjoy the game and don't be so fearful! :)
