      I'd like to join you in some quests, it will be easier than speaking with japanese players (even though I'm french), don't know how I'll name my character thought

      I know we should go step by step, but, how much time could we expect between the open-beta and the oficial release? Asking that because, i believe that, only after they fully release in Japan, we can start asking about a possible western localization.
      I loved this game, want to stick with it, but, playing in japanese is just discouraging. I know there are already some unoficial english patches over the internet, but it's still not the same...

      Lovely. Looks like they are getting things rolling with this quickly. The servers really held up quite well during the Pre-open, and I was impressed with their performance even for us across the ocean. Guess Sonic Team was happy with it, too.

      oh well thats cool. When we participate in the beta we get all our progress transferred so we dont have all our data erased for the 4th time. =]. I guess I'll meet you all on ship 2. My name, btw, will be NitroPenguin, which will be my main character. All others will have "nitro" for sure. Although, how long will this beta last? I'm on summer break but i want to know what the hours are and how long we will be able to play. I do say many of the features so far have been great. I REALLY love the multiparty areas. Theres like 12 people going around killing monsters and its so cool. Hopefully they have an option for English, or at least stop banning people if they have the patch(which is the current situation, although not their fault, apparently the game senses it and recognizes it as a hack). So yea, the game looks good. Cant wait to eventually play it when it is complete. Maybe even on English servers. It'll be cool. So yea see you all on Ship 2.

      Yeah, ship two is the rumored base of operations for the PSO-W community, Ship 2, Block 20 and 21 and onwards. More than likely I'll be comming for initial release.

      So...where did all this transfer stuff come from. I read from the updates that all the data from pre-beta is not gona be carried over. Every one will be restarting from scratch.

      I read that too. It seems when the open-beta is out everyone will start over. Kind of a bummer, but I just can't wait to play again!

      I can't wait for this to start up. I still have two copies of PSO for GCN and it still blows my mind. After seeing the trailer for this, I can officially say this game blows my freaking mind. I've been waiting for this for years and I can't believe it's actually happening. I'll see you all on the 21st! =D
