Played PSU for the first two months it was out, got sick of the massive lack of content and completely unfinished game.

Checked back in June and noticed the economy on the PC was just destroyed. Everything was 10-100 times more expensive. Stuff that normally sold for 10K were going for 100K or more. Learned there was pretty bad cheating/hacking like PSO eventually had.

So now I am checking to see if PSU and the expansion AOTI has improved the game at all.

I know there is more content but is there anything besides that and new classes? Is the economy still crazy? People still cheating/hacking alot? Is there more options to make the PC version prettier?

Thanks for your opinions beforehand http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

People hack? Honestly they might, but I've been playing a month and haven't seen it. I hear there's that mechgun thing but aside from that? Nothing here.

My personal opinion: Yes. It's much better.

(Edit: Make that three months. I'm thinking of a different game time-wise.)

Yes in June when I checked in people were duping meseta, cleaning out people's mag in their houses, etc. Heard Sega fixed the dupe but didn't clean out any of the excess meseta and just left it in the economy.

Is stuff still ridiculous prices? I remember B-Rank weapons being 10K and in June they were 100K+. Did they make it easier to get meseta and items now? Nov/Dec 2006 it took a while to get to 100K unless you got very lucky.

The good thing about a game like PSU, is that as the player base starts to decline, most hackers and griefers move on to the next big thing, or to whatever is free, or whatever game is on it's last legs/close to death.

I imagine, that you'd find way more hackers on PSO right now, then you would on PSU, but that's just my personal opinion/experience lately.

Thanks Alamar and Zantra http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
So has the economy returned somewhat back to normal? xD

It's getting there,as far as i've been told by my PS2/PC playing friends (i'm on Xbox 360, and going to transfer soon, kinda long story), but I think they're fixing a lot of issues with the expansion, and most if not all of the hacked meseta has either been spent, or is gone.

Here are my Opinions:

On the Population:
People are coming back, and the numbers of visible players (ie. people not soloing in a random universe alone) has increased to healthy amounts. If this continues, we may start seeing 5* in uni2 again ( we got up to 4.5 yesterday )

On the Economy:
There aren't ennough rares being obained on our servers to drop rare prices to JP levels, but you can get them at a good price now. A ranks now sell for dirt cheap too. with 2mil, I managed to snag 6 44%+ Melee Weapons http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif. Meseta now drops in missions in large amounts also, so its not nearly as hard to rack u funds as it was before.

On cheating:
There weren't ppl still meseta duping in June... that ended in March/February. Most Meseta has been spent, but those who horded their meseta still have theirs (though, since they never spend their meseta, it doesn't effect the economy anyways). The influx of Crea Doubles and Halarods are now minute in respect to the 1up Cup Ligit-Rare flood.

Worth getting? HEL YEH

So there is another PC server? (I assume that is what you ment by uni2)

We don't use Universe 1 on our server since there were too many universe crashes when the hackers used to run rampant through the server.

No, there's 18 universes in the Game

When the universes were crashing, Universe one was the last crash, and everyone moved to two. And for some reason everyone stayed there, lol
