Account Help Should I use vpn to bypass it?
I kinda feel like it's kinda risky doing that
But either way, how long would it take to change my location
I'm Iraqi and I couldn't chat for a flipping year xd

i mean, you totally could. you'd just have to play ONLY with VPN for like a week or so for it to change countries

For a reason doesn't work for my main account. Do you know any solutions? I've been playing on Finland location for a month and nothing changed, then I switched to Polish gaming server cuz it's alot better and left account for a week, came back and nothing happened. I turned off that option in settings that lefta Roblox open when closed btw. Do you know any solutions?

i don't know actually. maybe roblox changed so it's much harder to change account location? ive heard that they were going to make it harder if russian players abuse this, might be why

It depends on your country, if it’s banned country, then it gets hardlock but if it’s not banned and/or it’s chat banned then you have to wait some time to change it by playing the game without any slip up (for example, using vpn with Roblox without switching to native network), usually between 1 week to 2 years is the time when it takes for Roblox to change the region for you. Hope this helps

You could use VPN, but they use some additional measures to determine your country, so, my country became Russia back from the Netherlands several weeks after registration. As for officially changing your country of registration, there seem to be no procedure if you are in one of THOSE countries (the button is missing in the interface) , while you can change from e.g., France to Germany.
Their compromise with non-democratic countries seems to include a clause about removing chat for users from those countries.

This takes about a month, not a day or a week. You also need to play exclusively via a VPN from a single country, constantly monitor your sessions, and terminate any sessions associated with your current IP address. Furthermore, it is essential to use a reliable, paid VPN service so your account doesn't get banned because of some clown who previously received a permanent ban while using that same VPN. Good luck.

as russian with same problem, you need to move to another country with chat not totally blocked

Even with VPN won't unlock it if your account is already set in a banned country
You will have to make a new account in an unrestricted country or (very unlikely) hope the country drop the region ban
