Hi everyone http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
I am thinking of starting to play PSU, but before that there are a few matters I'm confused about. I've looked through a lot of stickies, but there are so many that I can't even keep track of which ones I've checked and which not. So I hope maybe one of you could help me out. One question I have is about billing, I'd rather not find out the hard way after purchasing the game that I don't have the means to play online.
I live in the Netherlands and neither me nor anyone else close to me owns a credit card. I just registered at Playsega.com to check which alternative means are possible and found out a creditcard isn't necessary. I couldn't find how this worked exactly though: How do you purchase the 30 days playtime once at a time? Is it similar to World of Warcraft with a code you buy at retail stores or isn't it?
Yes I said World of Warcraft, I was quite addicted (not proud of it) and its the main thing that kept me away from this game for a long time, but I finally quit the game a few months ago when the content and community stopped interesting me. I'm sure this will be a refreshing experience, I've played PSO on the GC for a little two months (twice using the free 30 days playtime as I didn't have a CC back then either) and I really enjoyed it.
My second question though. How is the community right now, compared to when PSU just came out? I don't wish to step into a game where only the elitists are left and I have a lot to catch up. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
So how is it? Are there enough newbies like myself left, or even a decent stream of new players coming in?
Then finally, I have a question about how the expansion works. Do you simply upgrade your current installation and are you able to play with people who don't own the expansion?
Thanks in advance for your responses. Once again I've done my best scrolling through the stickies so I hope you don't mind if the answers are already around somewhere.
