--- Comment #11 from Rockfire rockfire.redmoon@gmail.com 2011-11-26 09:03:57 CST --- Unfortunately, both the Earth Eternal and the Japanese version Ikimonogatari servers are now both closed (again). Coincidentally, Earth Eternal closed on the very day you posted this reply :)
It's not looking hugely likely that they will be coming back either, although nothing official from the publishers yet.
With this uncertainty, I'm not sure if this bug is worth is worth any further effort, at least at the moment. One enterprising player has built a server, but nothing public or that can be legally used.
For what it's worth. I do know the patch was still required with 1.1.30 (the last version I tried), but no longer have any logs available.
