4 planets, 4 universes, 20 stars for Complete access to all of PSU

[Professor Xavier]

Have you ever played during the peak times of the day. Or all day on the weekends. You were not able to get into Universe 1 or the rare instance Universe two. This is very frustratiting for everyone.

I am suggesting a new system. On PSU pedia for instance. They list locations in this order:

GUARDIANS Colony

Parum

Neudaiz

Moatoob

I am sugggesting we use soemthing like this for our universes. If we designate GC for instance to a certain universe. And everyone who wants to play a mission on the GC will use that universe. Do the same for each planet. This will leave open five stars for each planet and spread it all across four universes. There would never be a time when you would not be able to get anywhere in PSU you wanted to be. All we would have to do is say for instance when you log on you see Uni1 has three stars. This would be the time to start playing on the other universes. So even if you form your party in uni 1 you would transfer to another universe to play on Moatoob if thats the planet you wish to use. I could go on and on with different examples. But common sense would be the rule. If everyone uses a designated universe for their planet when the servers get busy. You would never ever have a problem getting around again. The best part is not everyone would have to do this. If we just get enough regular players who play in private parties to do it for starters. That would be enough to get the ball rolling. All we would have to do is move to the other universes when we form parties. Hopefully there will be enough people doing this for everyone to eventually catch on. I have played PSU since the second month. The community has decided over the years certain thins are OK to do during missions and certain things are not. This does vary from party to party. I feel this suggestion is no different. I don't even care what universes are designated to what planets. If someone has s good idea on how to figure this part out. Please tell us what you think. Or maybe Edward at SEGA can decide for us. It also may help with lag issues if everone uses different universes for each planet. Although I'm not sure that part helps much with lagg.

But there you have it. I am posting this on PSO world as well as the PSU forum so you may see what everyone thinks from each forum I am posting links to each one. THans for the support. I hope this helps everyone gameplay access!!

I dunno how much universes you ahve atm, but generelly i think its something that would be cool to do, but some players will surely do somethign else than the recommended planet :/


I really hope you get it work ;)

[Professor Xavier]

The best part is its always up to the community. If enough people are frustrated they cant get to the planet or party they want. Then maybe we can get it jump started. This idea may be premature. But if we still have the same problem a week or two from now maybe it will take off.

i'm afraid universe 1 doesn't offer enough space for all the white beast spammers, so you'd have to give neudaiz at least uni 1 and uni 2...

...

oh wait? that's already the case xD

[Professor Xavier]

The debate has continued on the PSU forums. I just thought I should update everyone on the status. Thanks for all the support!

Happy gaming!

I am glad to see this discussion continue!

Look at this link. From left to right you can see the official order of the planets. GC, Parum, Neudaiz and Maotoob. Since we all agree Uni 1 Leo Guide is mostly going to fill up with noobs spamming White beast. Here is what I propose.

When this idea comes into play is when the main uni 1 fills to 3-4 stars is the time to start using alternate planets.

I propose following TenebriS suggestion. Since this is the official JP servers way of doing it. We should follow it. I'm happy with following just the planets part for now.

08 Colony missions
09 Parum missions
10 Neudaiz missions
11 Moatoob missions


In closing It does not really matter how we do it. We can follow this and see if it catches on. Or if someone has a new idea we can try it. It would also be easy enough if just enough players switched universes to do other missions. But the spammers do indeed fill the main two universes. All this take is a few of us talking about it in the game. As part leaders just move your party to another universe if you are going to do a planet. If you don't want to explain it then just say I play on Uni 8 on the Guardians Colony. You can stay there unitl your party disbands then go back to the main universe. We could also have community events on certain planets. Maybe where we play there for a few hours during a busy day. This would give us a chance to put the idea out there. It wont happen over night. As said in the PSO World forum this idea might be premature. But if our population grows just a little now. And in a few weeks when is goes on sale in Japan for games on demand there. And as players see the population grows so does our frustration and access. Others return and fewer players are quiting for whatever reasons. There will be some kind of solution anyway. I would rather do this and give everyone a choice how to deal with the universes filling up. The alternative is to solo. Or spend minutes or even hours being frustrated trying to get into Uni 1 or Uni 2 And if we get the new updates in a timely manner and we enjoy them. These are a lot of reason to start this now. This may only be needed for a few months. The population could drop again. Or it could grow. Who knows?

I will be trying to get the word out. Well see where this goes.

Thanks for everyones support on this. And by all means please keep this debate going!!

Thank You!

This...whatever JP servers has will work.

This...whatever JP servers has will work.

Agreed But it would be helpful considering our lower population if we just focus on the planets part for now. It would just confuse our small community if we try to do all 16 parts right off.

In your OP (or actually the Title), you stated that there would be 4 universes for each respective planet. The problem with that is nobody knows (although I HIGHLY doubt it) if a swarm of new players will join PSU. The reason there are so many servers in the first place is to prevent a problem from occuring if that were to ever happen. Do you remember PSU before AoTI? There were like 50 uni's just like in the demo. It was unnecessary so they trimmed it to 20. The good things that will come out of that are what you mentioned above, "no problems getting around" and they would have more room to add more stuff just like they did when they shortened it to 20 uni's. But I do like your idea and how the JP server's are running. It would be much more organized even though it's only "Recommended" on the JP servers. Regardless people will still be lazy and flock to one server anyways lol.

The idea is to concentrate those who want to play together in just four unverses. Four main locations equal 4 universes. There would be no reason to get rid of the rest of the universes.

Also I have been checking things out in Univers 1 when it is full. People are indeed spamming white beast. But they are also spamming the Colony R missions and Seed Express on Parum. These are all in different locations. Different planets. If enough of us split these three groups amoung just three unuverses. Right now that would be enough. Each of the three would have two or three stars. Everyone would have access to whatever they want. A simpler solution would be for them to just program the game so we can only access one planet per universe. So if we wanted to go to Parum we would have to go to that universe. Forcing everyone to access different planets. Seperating the server use to the other universes. Esentually giving each planet its own server. Our population is too small to really use the entire JP server model. It would need to be seperate to maybe 8-10 different universes to access all of PSU. I'm not sure if what I speak of is possible. Another solution would be to name our universes after the JP model. However it is done. If our population grows so does our problems as the servers fill up.
