DQVC: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

DQVC was available shortly after the release of ''Dragon Quest IX''. Since its release, the content has been updated on a regular basis. Initially after release, new quests were periodically released using the service. Since September 2011, connecting to the DQVC will download all unavailable bonus quests to the player's game cart. This was done after the game had been on the market for over a year, and all promotional events were over and all of the online quests had been fully released.

There was an interruption of the DQVC service in North America between June 8, 2012 and June 26, 2012. Then in June 2013, the DQVC was shut down without prior notification by Square Enix. This led to a fan outcry, which resulted in the service being turned back on again in August of 2013. On May 20, 2014, Nintendo ended the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service, and thus the DQVC, due to the ending lifespan of the original [[Nintendo DS|DS and DSi]].

In October of 2018, an exploit in Nintendo's SSL implementation was discovered that which made it possible to trick an unmodified DS into connecting to alternate servers through use of a custom DNS during wifi setup. This led to multiple groups of fans hosting recreations of the original server and a revival of the DQVC service.
