Welp, guess I'm out. Not playing another game where the jps get a year head start.

Just play in moonrunes. You don't need to hear the monsters roar at you in English do you? Also you missed other shit Aki. Time Attack mode (rush from forest to tundra, similar to challenge mode. Preset maps with rewards for time), MAG level cap raise with new evolutions and new costumes and shit (cash shop).

Speaking of cash shop, does anyone know if we can register a NA credit card to buy arkscash?

EDIT: It looks like they might support PayPal, if so, I think we're in the clear.

1000 YEN is $12.60 USD and around £8. Prices are pretty reasonable imo.

Got bored and leveled abilities with all my money (since im gonna make a new character)
HP ability went from +20HP to +40HP to +50HP to +60HP.
Went from like 80% with all 3, to 50%, to like 40% or something. Either way it all blew up in the end luls.
Them chances for +10HP i dont even..

Yeah that sounds pretty reasonable to me too. I just wonder what kind of hoops we'd have to jump through for payments though.

[Kiarax]

SEGA blog says no Paypal apparently, given they accept major credit cards I'm sure it'll be possible, here's hoping it's simple.

[darkepyon]

Their system is being handled through ISAO, which is the internal method they've been using the past decade. I've dealt with them on and off for the past decade and they never had problems with credit cards outside Japan.

[Scythiroth]

Of course, the day after I start playing the open beta, they are closing it and launching the game. >.> Oh well, I'll most likely keep playing even if the free options are kinda lame. =x

Back to hoping we get a NA release date eventually.

[Kiarax]

Apparently Bitcash accepts Paypal, and you can pay for Arc Cash through Bitcash. Seems there's an option there too.

Edit:

The free model isn't a big deal at all. Only issue you'll have is not being able to have multiple MAGs if you wanna play multiple classes. Here's what you get for the "premium" monthly fee:

Access to:
-Item trade function
-My Room access
-MyShop access
-Premium storage (300 slots)
-doubling fun points from any of the associated methods to obtain them: logging, good jobs, ac use, partner card use.
-Premium block

[Scythiroth]

Oh, I know, it is pretty nice. Being able to play the full game for no money is quite appealing.

The MAGs are really the only thing that annoy me. I would eventually like to level all of the classes, and not being able to have a MAG useful for them will be annoying.

[Mooshywooshy]

Mags are relatively cheap though, so you get one free, then pay like 8 bucks for 2 more and you're set lol

Oh, that's not too bad I guess. >.>

[rezn0r]

guess i'm hoping for either an english patch or a NA release date. i'm so lost without english. i didn't get much time on the beta, but the game seems great and i'd like to play it without headbutting my desk.

[Chrian]

there are many guides , I essentially use this as my bible while playing http://bumped.org/psublog/pso2-open-beta-client-orders/

also helps I've taken japanese one and two and it's all coming back to me.

[Burningthought]

Hmm so is it down already?

[Scythiroth]

Hmm so is it down already?

I've been playing it, but I just got booted. >.> So, it either went down now or I got booted randomly.

edit: Yeah, can't login anymore. Either temp maintenance or down until launch.

[Kiarax]

Yeah, just went down now. WITHDRAWALS ALREADY.

[Scythiroth]

I had just hit level 10, I was having fun. =( Feels so good playing this game even if I can't read 90% of the text.

Totally works for my PSO nostalgia trip, can't wait to keep playing more.

I know that feel.
