There’s a Russian LonaRPG that calls themselves official

I have been recently scrolling through VK and stumbled upon a game called “LonaRPG” that gave the game out for free until I just realised that the actual official one is on here. I am deeply sorry I’ve been using the VK version of LonaRPG where I don’t even think they credit your work outside of the actual game.

https://vk.com/lonarpg

If they would stop calling themselves official that would be swell since all they amount to is a slightly sanctioned piracy group

Hello Ivan, Greetings from the USA. 
Sorry my current leader is retarded. We are attempting to fix that and hopefully not go to war.

Don't worry Bob from America, everything is ok. I sit comfortably on my bottle and wait for my turn to come; it becomes fertilizer in the soil of Ukraine.

you forgot about the bear, balalaika and other cranberries

This is the only Russian balalaika I care about

I'm not trying to protect them, but if you look at the links that they attached, you can find links to the original site (itch.io), the developer channel, the fandom wiki and clearly not a Russian site where you can also download a pirated version of lonarpg, which was created much earlier than VK group. But the very fact that they have an official prefix in the name of their group also surprises me

I believe you all got it wrong - it's an official community page not an official game page.

p.s. seen this website on youtube, can't even access vk.com from my censor/nazi country - Government bans almost all russian websites (country - LV)
p.p.s - I also need to remind you that Paypal, Visa, MC and other western payment options are unavailable for RU citizens so how do you get Lona without it?

its not an official community page, we aren't even associated with them.

+Vk is banned from more than multiple countries(even russia friendly countries) for many reasons, each one of them is enough for censoreship, lol.
+Russians can get LonaRPG permanently from https://subscribestar.adult/eccma417 if you buy the OneTime purchase.

> Russians can get LonaRPG permanently from https://subscribestar.adult/eccma417

No, they can't

> Vk is banned from more than multiple countries

For the most part, VK is banned because it is a Russian organization, that's all. As for copyright, VK complies with the copyright laws in force in the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation. If you complain about copyright infringing content, VK administration will remove it immediately. This of course mostly concerns content licensed in the territory of the Russian Federation.

Theres workarounds from my knowledge my question is why don't you have a kazakhstan bank account?

(+1)

You can't open a kazakhstan bank account as easily as it was before. It's been a while since the banks that allow russians changed their rules. Now you need to be in the country and open your account in person as opposed to being able to do it in russia with a phone call. And even if you do open your account in person there is always a chance of it being shut down if you're not in the counrty which is why this method doesn't really work anymore.  At present the only easily available way to pay from russia is by crypto

Dev, please find a way to distribute your game in Russia officially. Through a subscription, through a one-time purchase, through your local server - any way you can. You should be rewarded for your cool work!

Sure if every site stopped banning LonaRPG, lol.
Luckily for you, its possible for russians to get LonaRPG permanently from https://subscribestar.adult/eccma417

I would love to buy the game, but the site you suggested, says the same thing about my ru card. Can you please make it possible to pay in crypto or ask someone from the community to write a "bot-shop" for Telegram, unfortunately for us in the age of sanctions remains only this option, except for buying a foreign account, which is often just blocked a day after registration

P.S. With love and great respect from Russia, your fan Denis

pay $29 and make eccma work for you for ten minutes for the game. You people, who try to take over other countries, also don’t know how to use a vpn to signup for websites blocked by your country. You’re pathetic if you’re that hostile and that dumb.

Just make an online debit card account with koho banking app or something similar. Then load money on it. Pay for a vpn. Signup to PayPal or whatever else. Load money from banking app to payment site. Purchase.

Seriously, are you dumb?

I've considered deleting your post but instead i will just say they block russian credit cards outright unless you have the money and mobility to go to Kazakstan and open an account there most ruskies are SOL

(-2)

are there no shops that sell prepaid giftcards with usd denominations? perhaps someone you can send rus to and have them pay usd for the game? there are many options. you just have to think.
not wanting to think is no reason to want to delete the post of someone offering their hopefully helpful advice.

You don't live in Russia and don't know anything at all. We are completely blocked. Unless you have a friend abroad or a bank account abroad, there is nothing you can do. VPN does not solve the problem. If it were that easy, it wouldn't even be discussed. Even disposable cards with denominations of 5, 10 or more dollars do not solve the problem. PayPal is closed to us in any form. If you can offer terms for opening an account and paying, please offer, rather than showing your stupidity about what you don't know.

We banal game in Steam can not buy directly, only through intermediaries who created the opportunity. What is there to talk about...

To the developer of the game a low bow, great job. I'd be happy to buy if I had the chance. Only thanks to the group in VK found out about the game in general. So make your own conclusions.

(+1)(-1)

Seriously, no. Some ppl escaped, some stayed, but all are to lost big part of they lives some case or else.

Hi from Kz now v.v

Let's free the forum from politics. If we talk about the seizure of other countries, remember the USA and Israel. What is happening between Russia and Ukraine is far from the only problem...

It's been a long time, but I'll answer. The branch here is really hot. This community does not position itself as an "Official" community from the developer. This community on a social network is part of other systems on a specific platform. These particular people were engaged in organizing communication between people interested in playing on various platforms in the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet. The postscript “Official” implies the official representation of a specific organized community, which clearly dominates other gaming communities in the Russian segment of the Internet. The sin of such a name is indeed very common in Russia.

In this community, they are actually distributing the game for free, because we do not have a reasonable opportunity to buy the game due to sanctions. We can’t even buy the game directly on Steam, although in a specific case there are solutions. However, I must note that we still have the opportunity to thank the developer indirectly, but the process is very labor-intensive and many believe that the time is not worth it.
