I don't mind, but I guess my opinion is void cos I havnt really made any friends playing on Gemini anyways, so I have no one to "say goodbye" to.
that said, this only affects the minority anyways, which is just about the people in here.
Also, @basti, they might just have some region detection/IP block in use. Playing through proxies probably wont be worth it.
Also, a ridicilous reason to not play the game at all. Yes, it sucks that you might be seperated with your friends, but that doesnt mean the game wouldnt be worth trying/playing. You might as well just get your friends in a chat room, you didnt play the game for what it was obviously anyways
