I can't really find many people to play with. I'm actually lvl 43, and have yet to play with ANYONE.... Its rather lonely. D:

I would join parties, but I don't speak any Japanese... Would JP players be rude to me if I join?

I did start trying to set up meetups with people in the JP servers, so hopefully I start getting a playing group soon.... ^^;

So ya... I would like some help like.... knowing where to level. I know theres innocent girl, but do I have any other options? I also tried the GC mission for nubs, but its getting expensive LOL....

Yeah this is really irritating. I can't seem to find anyone. Do you have a shop open yet? Maybe I could just meet you at your shop or vice-versa.
I stuck with my same name in english(DAMASCUS) and just made shortcuts of my name in Katakana for fun. I DO have a shop open so you can search for me and leave a bulletin there if you'd like and then I'll have your name in my visitors list.

JP servers are dead.
Also, the current hotspot is Third Stage GAM, and you need to be at least lvl 100 to join.

You also have to remember it is a difference in time zone. Like peak times our time are when most people there are asleep.

Well I also have been going online as soon as I wake up (8am - 10 am = 8pm - 10pm in JP), to see if I see anything lol... But no cigar. >_>

I think I'm stuck soloing until I reach 100 pretty much. (and possibly more, since most people don't want you to be the MINIMUM requirement to run missions. I'd need to have a couple more levels under my belt)

Yeah, I woke up early one morning at 4am and there were a few full stars....but as you pointed out, until we get our levels up closer to their level it doesn't really matter.

Until then I'm definitely going to go through to Paracabena Coast to have access to SEED Express which is fun and great for levelling.

@Super Luu: I'll go online as soon as I get up and check for you at Innocent Girl before I head to the City Ruins.

The JP players aren't all rude, I actually ran into quite a few of them who spoke fluent enough english, a few of them were students... I think I just met a majority of them at some random lobbies, like paracabana coast... or the casino.
And the fact that they would take time out to try and communicate, just speaks volumes.


Then there are those parties you get kicked from, which is totally understandable, I wouldn't want to play with somebody who can't understand me saying "You're going the wrong way" either.

when are you guys gonna be on? send me a PM and i can introduce you to all of the importers who play currently, as they get on.

I'll be out later tonight, around 9 PMish(EST/GMT-5:00) because it's movie night, so if i dont get back to you by then, i'll get back to you tomorrow and we can set up someththe

The server may be "dead" but to those new players, it's kind of a put off. Sure, it's an old game with many many flaws, but it's what you make of it really, because the server isn't dead until it gets shut down. (no offense to those on the US side)

I should be playing much more these days but even the cable TV is not working properly those days...

I'm always logging in between 2-6pm EST. After coming form the US PC/PS2 servers its difficult to call this server dead.

Having a meeting place and Universe for import players seems to be pretty vital to making these connections. One of the lol problems is that some have chosen to blend in by having their name in Katakana; which is very cool but then I don't know who you are if I pass you by Innocent Girl :p

Even though its a pain because you have to get there first I think Paracabena would be a great place to meet and there is no reason not to stick to UNI 2. Thats what I'm going for anyway...

Yeah we should stick to a certain Universe to meet up.

Maybe if we all took an effort to remember to go to the 3rd floor Club EVERY time we log on to see if any beginners are there.

Then we can have a massive collection of importers cards so that we'll all be connected.

I have to go run some errands but I'm going to do some AFK in-action in the GAS chamber on UNI 2, so if anyone is online during that time just shoot me your card and I'll find you to give you mine.

Sound good? Ok cool ;D

update: a few hours later...got two cards but my screensaver caused an error and l got logged out lol XD

Still much better just having the two cards...I'll be watching out for you..
