In case anyone hasn't read the front page or checked in-game messages, Electronic Brain is going to be in the Mission Spotlight for the week. As part of the spotlight, PSO-World staff members will be handing out prizes at random to people that are in-game on the PC/PS2 side. Brigade of the Hidden Shadows will be giving presents on the Xbox 360 servers.

We have a lot of stuff to hand out, so be sure to keep an eye out for us!

Darn, and just after I canceled.. Ardites are fun to jabroga too. :-P

Well, good luck with this, and keep us posted. I'm curious to see what the prizes are.

Game Masters are also still handing out prizes, so yes, there is still a chance to win PSU merch on top of the in-game items. :)

You should have enough prizes for every player currently on PC/PS2. So that's good I suppose.

Some useful feedback and idea suggestion:

In the past, I rmr you mentioned your idea to change hot spot every week to reduce WB spammer and allow people to find more party outside that spot.
I wonder why it is 2 weeks now?
I see that people get bored/complained about spaming 5 mission on GBR for 3 weeks. This is like supporting people to spam single mission for 2 weeks (even worse).
So I don't get the idea, what delay the mission hot spot from weekly to 2 weeks? (it is as simply as just changing that page once a week, and let players move around new spot, the prize is still always the same, so it not effect prizes pool)
I get this feed back from many people including myself about why they doesn't care this so much, it is just a suggestion from what I know how people review this things (pro/cons). I would say It would be much more success if you can make it weekly.

It's for when the game is lacking updates in order to keep the server(s) alive.

That should've been known from the start. :D

So far we've handed out some weapons, batches of Catilium, and Transfer tickets. We'll try to vary the prizes that are handed out each night.

Oh fun, halloween lobbies and this all at once...couldn't we have gotten a mission spotlight where there are actually rappies for the seasonal stuff. Like stated before elsewhere, I'll be around another week or so then I'm canceling my account till the game is worth it again.

Items are scheduled to be handed out at random intervals. Due to work schedules though, you can expect most activity to take place in the evening (EST).

Oh man. That's in the middle of the night in GMT. Also, that lobby on Leo was totally deserted just now (21:00-22_00 GMT), no parties, nothing. :-?

I saw one team on Leo and five teams on Caelum just now. A lot of people seem to have drifted back to White Beast.

I was on when Meira dropped in and gave one of the people in my party a prize. I'll probably lvl my main's PAs there, since I was in the first full party I've run since MAG 2.

It turned out to be a decent evening. Several people eventually showed up and we were able to give out a lot of prizes.

Congratulations to the people that won prizes!

wait? so you automatically got them, or they give you present via trading menu? Because it sure that casino coins has to do it automatically, but I wonder how could PSOW stuff do that too.
My question is that how does it like when you got something?

Everyone ran the /dice command at the end of our run. I threw highest out of the people that wanted to participate, so ruby took down my ID, and said I could expect 5 additional coins on my 1st character slot tomorrow. That was about the jist of it.

So basically, you have to party with ruby in order to get it?
you join his party, or he join ur party? or it is outside?

He joined our party right before we were at the boss gate, and told us not to abandon after the boss fight to do the /dice game.

Fixed.

We've been trying to distribute prizes at other hours, but there's literally no one playing Electronic Brain during the daytime over the last couple of days. I was wanting award some stuff a bit earlier and there were no parties on Caelum/Leo. So, the majority of stuff will naturally be distributed when people are around.


wait? so you automatically got them, or they give you present via trading menu? Because it sure that casino coins has to do it automatically, but I wonder how could PSOW stuff do that too.

Yesterday, RubyEclipse was joining teams to give out Voloyal Coins. Near the end of the run, the team members would roll dice to see who received the coins. The winner would receive the coins the next day.

He joined us yesterday and let my friend me use the dice. We had to roll twice, because we both rolled 6. I won in the end and was promised 5 coins. Have to check tonight when I come back from work.

Look for me in a team called 'PSOW Spotlight.' I'll be giving a gift to a random team member after each run.

PSOW staff members will be holding other games and joining other teams over the weekend.

The Mission Spotlight period is officially over. Congratulations to everyone that won items on the PC/PS2 servers! The staff had a lot of fun doing mission runs and meeting new people over the last week.

Again, congratulations to all the winners (some of you still need to pick up your prizes too)!

I had a great time running both missions with familiar and new players alike. Sure ate up a lot of hours too, the time just flew by.
I look forward to seeing many of you around for future community events! :wacko:
