Still locked, and I really wuold like to buy new supoporter pack AND get some collector cards for that.
Can anyone from GGG tell clear the situation? It's really frustrating =(
I believe your region is locked on Steam. You were able to install Path of Exile using a non-region link rather than installing from Steam directly from your regional store.

(?cc=us was at the end of your steam link?)

There was another thread on this recently if you need a reference to a post from GGG on the subject. They cannot accept Steam Wallet for your region currently. I am sorry.

Edit: my bad ... it wasn't a post by GGG, but an email reply that a user posted they got from GGG... the link is here

Well, that's sad =(

I wanted to play on Steam but couldn't. I googled and stumbled upon this thread and

Very funny move by GGG.
Hi there,

I'm sorry to hear you're having difficulties playing via Steam. We may be able to add an email address and password to your steam-created account, which will allow you to log in to our standalone client instead. This should allow you to continue playing even if your region is locked on Steam.

If you'd like us to do that, please send a message to our support account containing an email address you'd like added to your account.

In addition, if you're in a South-East-Asian region and want to minimize your server latency you can still log on to our Singapore server by typing Singapore manually in to the gateway box.

But I want to play it via Steam, because Steam is awesome. Will you unlock POE on Steam for other regions or not?

They have plans with the other regions. They haven't announced what that is.
