Hello guys, I'm a huge fan of the Legend of Heroes series. Recently I have bought Zero no Kiseki Chinese Version from Hong Kong and brought it over to USA. When I got it installed and try to activate it, it will not activate. Please help? Thanks.

I don't think the version matters much, but did you buy the Traditional Chinese version published by Typhoon Games?
Do you know what type of error (if any) you get when you try to activate the game? If you get an error message, can you screenshot it (using the Print Screen button) and uploading it for us to see?

I don't think it's really an error but I thought someone said something about activating online has a region restriction or something, cause I'm in USA. |

Sorry for the late reply, I completely forgot to check these boards lately.
I activated my copy in the UK, so I assume there isn't any region locking for activiations. However, you're correct that the Unlock site isn't working at the moment.
I tried looking online for a solution, but haven't found one yet : (
I'll try e-mailing Typhoon Games later today to see if I get a solution, since I also need to sort out my copy of the game.

Oh thanks Elena! My dad was kinda pissed that it did not work at first and thinking he bought a pirate edition of Zero for me, haha |

I received a response from Typhoon Games, but they only responded to my first question (not about activating the game) and not the second (about activating the game), so I've had to send them another e-mail.
Whoops, I knew I shouldn't have asked them too many things. I asked for them to de-activate my game for me, which they did, but it turns out I had already activated the game on the PC I wanted anyway, so that was a complete waste of time...
I was lazy so I typed the e-mail in English and they seemed to understand what I was saying. If all else fails, I'll type it in Chinese, but I haven't learned how to use Chinese IMEs so I'll have to copy and paste text from Babelfish or something.
As for why they might not respond, I showed them the photos of my game (like the activation leaflet tells you to, if you have a problem) and they seemed happy to help.

Okay, I've been told to send my manual activation key to them and they'll send me the corresponding response key, which can be used to manually activate the game.
Trouble is, I'm pretty sure the activation key resets each time you load the game and the unique response key only works for the corresponding activation key. So I'll have to keep the game open while I wait for Typhoon Games to send me the response key and I live in the opposite time zone...
I'm not sure if it helps, but Typhoon Games asked if I was in Hong Kong, so I'm starting to suspect the unlock site works, but is region-locked for people outside of Hong Kong and other Chinese regions. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with proxies, so I'm not going to use one to check my hypothesis.
Anyway, if you want to follow my adventure, I'd suggest e-mailing Typhoon Games, e-mail:
support[AT]typhoongames[DOT]com
and asking them something like this:
For reference, the manual activation is the box halfway down the activation screen. I can supply an image if needed.

Hmm... I would like to try, but the trouble is I must turn off the computer at night, so I don't know if that will work. I thought the site has a region-lock in it... Why would they do that? But thanks anyway! |

I tried the unlock site using a Hong Kong proxy and the error message was the same. I was able to load Hong Kong google though.

I used a proxy so going to google.com loads the hong kong version of google not the us version.
What I meant was the proxy was working else google would have not loaded or not been HK. The unlock site was still not working. So it either is truly down, not region locked, or they are testing the region another way. Maybe latency?

Hmm... I'm a bit confused about the proxy thing but what you are saying is time zoned? Like it has a specific opening time?

However, it is working now. Maybe they updated it recently. |
