do you feel like quitiing psu?

[cyber wolf]

i just recently gave all my stuff to a friend. i just see no point in paying more money to play the game since the prices are raising i may move to ps3 for their network. aditionally i see no point to paying 10 dollars to play the game. thank you all for your post and i was helped alot ty!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[GreenArcher]

You don't need gold to play PSU, just a heads up.

[DragonForce]

I'm actually cancelling my sub for Halo: Reach. There's so many good games coming out in the coming months.

I honestly don't know when I'll be back. I guess it depends on two things ( one of which I won't say ).

[darkante]

Nah, quitting is not something i will do.
Maybe post-pone with all the good stuff coming out...

PSP2
Kingdom Hearts BbS
Other M
Borderlands expansion : Claptrap Robot revolution
Serious Sam: Second Encounter HD on Xbox 360.

And currently, i´m rolling with Dragon Quest IX.
So yeah..i´m quite buzy, but i be back...someday. XD

[xBULLYDOGG]

Borderlands expansion : Claptrap Robot revolution
Quoted because this DLC will be pure EPICNESS. On a side note if borderlands had a monthly fee I'd be happy to pay to play it.

[RagolianHunter]

Currently on 360 after a full run on PC server..tbh finding it very difficult to find a reason to play as of late..

Been loggin in to gamble coin just for kicks then logging out...not planning to re sub after the current month..

Its been a fun run... but 360 it appears is not for me.

[cyber wolf]

i know you dont need a gold i just dont feel like paying to play psu anymore. imma move to ps3 where its actully free. many good people play xbox. better than ps3 players. xbox is just more expensive and its not worth it anymore im pretty sure that everyone know that you dont need gold to play psu....8-)8-)8-)

[cyber wolf]

RagolianHunter psu on 360 lags alot to. i kinda feel sorry for the pc and ps2 players because they played the game for sooooo long then they had to have there their files erased. its like hard work for nothing.

Yesh, i´m one of them.
I haven´t put that much effort to the Xbox version either, for that reason.
But that´s ok, main reason to get back were mostly for some friends.

But PSP2 will hopefully draw my attention for a while.

[Max B]

Well, to be honest I myself get on to check shops then get off basically thats it. I will probably cancel my sub for awhile and see what happens when/if I decide to come back.

When the Xbox 360 servers shut-down it will be the same thing... only a longer period of time. Any game where your data is stored server-side is not worth it in your example... then why do so many people play them?

@rayner:

Not sure who that was directed at but I am not complaining over lost data.

Just that I cannot find the drive to play much longer is all...

That wasn't directed at you, it was meant for the OP. I mean eventually the Xbox 360 servers will shut-down then... that's it. I won't feel bad or anything... I have plenty of experiences to remember PSU in the years to come :)

[Delete]

Been awhile since I seen a "Quit Thread." On topic though, I already did quit. It wasn't because of the $10 (that's like nothin tbh and no I'm not rich or nothin) but it was more because life kinda took over. Job,bills, girls, and other video games = no time for Psu. Plus, I wouldn't wanna look back on my life when I'm like 50 and say, "Did I really play Psu for 5 years straight?"

No signs yet, but it is supposed to get super bad. Stay safe too man, not sure where ya live but it's gonna be going to a few more places after here.

Sorry for the off-topic-ness there, but hurricanes are serious stuff.

[TwinkieSpear]

I have not been playing as long as as some people, so perhaps I have not had enough time to get bored of it, however, I don't see myself getting tired of it anytime soon.

I think it is a great game, in my opinion it is the best game I have played on Xbox 360.

[DragonForce]

I've played it since it came out. I took a lot of breaks before and i'm about to take another one.

I've been playing pso/psu for nearly 10 years straight! EEK!
Hopefully I forget about pso/psu when I'm 50.

[Ishia]

I've quit PSU once in the past. Senior year starts for me next Tuesday, and I'm considering taking a one-two month break, until Absolute Zero comes out.

Other than that. GAMs have been the only thing keeping me interested in PSU for the past month.

[DragonForce]

LOL Ishia

I'm a bit embarrassed for being here, but I'll get over it.

[WHlTEKNIGHT]

I am getting to the point where I have had enough, the 3 week updates are not good enough in my opinion and I cant stand the /r missions at all.

They need to hurry up with something new to do apart from crappy r missions.

[Ishia]

The Parum GBR SHOULD be next week. If not, it would be another two weeks until we get it. Absolutely ridiculous, if that turns out to be the case.

[ghost_optronix]

I just quit.... makes me sad, but I'm just so sick of being disconnected due to "server interrupt request" bs. I have good internet, an awesome router, open NAT settings....*sigh*...
It sucks. I have a lvl 88 Cast that I was trying to push but, alas, no more....

Hold your horses there bub. Have you tried this yet?


1. From the Xbox Dashboard, select the System Blade.
2. Select Network Settings
3. Select Edit Settings
4. Select DNS Settings
5. Select Manual Settings
6. Input 4.2.2.1 for the primary DNS number and 4.2.2.2 as the secondary DNS number.
7. Test the connection to see if your connection still works.
8. Play the game and see if it will log you in.

Copy and pasted, but its aimed to get rid of the interrupt requests.

I used to be dedicated to getting my daily silver coins, now...I check the shop once a week maybe? SIGHS PSP2 IS JUST SO MUCH BETTER!!!

[WHlTEKNIGHT]

[Xenobia]

I dont see any use in getting daily silver coins because there is an easy trick (its a regular way of playing just by using the brain a little which gives you as good as no lose) to get endless coins in roulette. Thats the reason the casino-stuff actually isnt any value anymore.


My main reason, if i ever quit PSU is the lack of support in a lot of cases. I will count down some issues:

XBOX Version:

1. Payment amount: Switzerland have to pay more than any other nation in the world, as far as i know. Nearly 16 Dollar a month. So be happy if you come from US. I dunno if that is racism or how to call it, just how it is. Impossible to find out the ones responsible for.

2. Payment options: That one is a matter which seems not an issue, however it is bigger as you would expect. There is like x200% more people just by adding a payment option "over MS Points", and i have no clue why Sega wasnt using that option. I cant just ask them, i wouldnt know who to ask, because just a few hidden people are responsible for any actions made. A lot of people either do not enjoy to use a credit card which is getting charge automatically every month (there cant be any worse payment option) and a lot of people arnt having one.

About half of all PSU Players are playing the trial-Version of PSU, even if that version is heavely broken, there is nearly as much players around as in the "full version". Sega should start to charge theyr mind with that knowledge. Not everyone in the world is japanese, because japanese seems to own credit cards in a higher number than other nations. However, it is most likely possible that japanese players will have a lot of options, i just dont know. Usualy they will have better support on many matters, so Sega shouldnt be to curious about the "fail" on other nations, there is a lot of reasons.

3. XBox-Version generally is having lesser support than Japanese PC-Version. PS2 Version is however, rather a joke, because the PS2 hardware isnt trully sufficient to provide a stable frame rate and only freaks would enjoy this.

4. And as a follow up of the first 3 points we have much lesser people in PSU than it could be, and that is taking away a lot of wind from the sails. Its just more fun to have a solid amount of people. If i would be Sega i would have done a lot of changes already to support a bigger community.

5. I have no idea why they made such a huge censoring in the english version of PSU. In the japanese language there is as good as no known censorship (i was asking them). And in any other language, there is probably several then thousand of censored words. Pretty much in a way like they are pointing at us "outsiders" and are telling us that we are using bad words, kind of racism in a certain term. So many that even friendly and regular words will fall into that category. And there is no way to turn it off. Your simply forced to get the most heavy censorship ever made. I would enjoy if Sega would be putting the same effort in way more important matters than this one.... leaving a questionable face.

[Xenobia]

When the Xbox 360 servers shut-down it will be the same thing... only a longer period of time. Any game where your data is stored server-side is not worth it in your example... then why do so many people play them?

That isnt that easy to say, its almost fool proof that anything related to Sega simply will have a lesser life time than other sources of MMORPGs or Online Games. If you play PSU you definitely dont do it for an eternity. Sure, the hope will die last. The best they could do is to bring out a new game related to Phantasy Star and we would be able to take over any old characters from an older game.

However, i dont see this happening. I have nothing against Sega but i just know them from over 10 years ago and PSO finally simply died, sever got shutted down and stuff. I have no doubt that the same will happen to PSU someday, however, the Japanese PC Servers might last very long, but that is exclusive to japan server since they got theyr own "special servers".

From a lot of other online game and servers i know, characters usualy will last almost a eternity. WoW, FF11, "Eve Online" and and and, they all arnt having Characters deleted any time soon and it wont be the case for very long time. Sometimes longer than a single human lifespane, but who knows. Its simply a matter of if the company is successfull or not. Sega always was abit cranky, although i am loving them and i dont trully know why. I guess its because Sega isnt any arrogant and they was one of the very first developer of a console-side Online-RPG on theyr Dreamcast (and i was part of it, growing up with it), which is just a tale nobody can take anymore. Sega is truly a "combat veteran" in the RPG sector (and Sonic the Hedgehog, one of the very first jump and runs) and usualy made theyr stuff with rather little ressources, they simply did it while another company would say "no way". Which is truly a thing i got some respect for. And ofc, the PS(O)-Series got a special charme. In memory of theyr Dreamcast, which was theyr last console and dunno if there will be another one. The Dreamcast, sadly not to successful, was the most advanced console when it came out and it stayed like that for many years, however, most of the people didnt see that fact because Sega simply isnt having Sonys Name nor theyr "marketing superiority". However, that day the PS2 came out, the Dreamcast outperformed the PS2 by miles and you almost had tears by watching most PS2 games. It took Sony over 5 years to reach the Dreamcast-level of graphic. So we can truly say, it was a legendary console.

Btw: In term my english isnt perfect, im from swiss, so i got an excuse.

The censoring system for the Xbox 360 server is MICROSOFT's censor, not SEGA's. Not much they can do about it. Also,

Dumbest thing I've read in a while.

[Xenobia]

If that is truly Microsofts work, i got no clue with what kind of rights they are executing it, probably with the right of a huge company able to control anything and everything on theyr console and forcing us to be stick to a certain market. Could be possible that it is MS aswell executing payment stuff, reason for being charged by MS and not Sega. However, i have absolutly no proof, because its hard to lock down responsibility to a certain source, its bit complicated.

I wouldnt say that Sega is enjoying the idea of multi culture gaming anymore, except Xbox360 because there would be way to less players. On PC/PS2 they was splitting it on purpose, and that got a reason which can be seen as something dumb or not. We know exactly what happen on PSO, at least the veterans. US Players was usualy those who was hacking and the japanese players was very tired of it. However, PSU isnt having that issue anymore, since the Data is stored server side. PSO was never splitted. Now the EU/US Players got the issue that theyr server will be shutted down or already are, and you call that "even" or something if i see that correct?
Dunno.. up to everyone else. Suggestion is to go japanese next time and avoid the splitting/censorship/shuttdown/small people amount and whatever.

[Ishia]

Oh yes, the next Phantasy Star game, most likely this "PSO 10th Anniversary" thing, I would definitely start with the JP server at the very beginning IF the regions were to be split again.

I'm not dealing with the BS that is PSU again.

[DragonForce]

I luv having to wait two whole years to get an update that other people got! /sarcasm

[Xenobia]

Fact is, Sega is telling us that they did shutt down PC/PS2 US/EU servers because of to less users. Those users was always in disadvantage vs. JAP servers when it came to support, but that is nothing new it was the same at PSO.

For example, there was a lot of "JAP only" missions, and US players never had access to it. EU player was able because they simply switched to JAP setting and booom it worked.

Anyway, im not surprised about this happening and i would never want to see a splitting ever again because finally its always the US/EU players being in a serious disadvantage when they do it and it will never change, no need to dream about.

Next victim could be xbox servers because the amount of players is lowering more and more. However, MS as a mighty owner of a console will probably keeping it alive for very long, which is a advantage in that term. However, its not to fun when we are having almost no players anymore. Only 1 server is usualy full... out of over ten. And i think i know the reason. Its not the game, its rather the "how" which isnt very gentle.

I would have cutted down the license price already to like 200 Points a month. And i can promise, several servers will be full very quick and the fun is back!

And the maturity of players is NOT about the age of those players. I know teenys which are way more mature than old players at the age of 30. So its absolutly nonsense telling me that another payment option would lower the quality of the players, its wrong.

[MadDogg]

I quit this game about february/march of this year, and after reading about the updates and such that has been released since then, and the community STILL spamming white beast, I'm glad I did.

Also, after playing the demo for phantasy star portable 2, which is basically a way better version of PSU AND its free, I doubt I'll ever play the console version ever again=/

I just hope that for sega's next console PSO game, they learned their lesson from PSU and not give missions a reward system, scrap the whole going from lobby to lobby to find a party, creating weapons, grinding, basically psportable 2 is what the next console game should play like. And for the love of god, don't separate the servers because it seems like sega can't handle keeping all versions up to date like a western developed online rpg can =/

I was being gentle before, as much of what you have said has made little sense, but this is just bad.

With the addition of PSU in Games on Demand, and AOTI being free, the amount of players is GROWING. And there are ALWAYS people to play with. There are usually two servers full, out of TWENTY universes. That's a tiny bit over 2000 players on, with maybe 250-400 spread out in all the other universes. That's 2000 more people than the PC/PS2 ever had in its last two years.

[Xenobia]

True. Its way more than EU/US PC server ever had, but still not enough, it could be way higher by changing some stuff, especially payment options. I wouldnt say that we are having a critically state now, however, there is almost no japanese around anymore. Most people only play either at weekend or at the usual US gaming time. Outside that time window, there is not even 1 full server. If you dont believe me.. a screenshot may help. To be fair, 2 servers is the very top edge which rarely will be reached but its still possible. It have to be said that the trial of PSU may have almost same amount of players, for being a crappy version its fun.

That time window is about 14-16 hours long. Sure it may be dominated by USA, Canada, and Europe (UK, in particular), but there ARE some people from Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, but due to their government's policies on gaming, its a lot harder for more of those people (Australia and New Zealand, in particular) to gain access to PSU.

[Xenobia]

Never heard about those policies, interesting stuff. Guess i finally found the reason why there is as good as none of those people around. Sad. Gaming being unhealthy or whats the reaason? Think im at a perfect health, who knows.

[Slayer76]

im tired of having to usually wait 3 or 4 weeks for a meaningful update that gets boring after a day. i'll quit whenever kuf2 comes out and i wont be back for this game or any other phantasy star game

[Pwincess]

sometimes I consider quitting PSU for the fact it doesn't keep me very entertained anymore, but it's hard to just completely stop.
I've been doing well taking breaks weeks at a time.
Recently it's been cut down to days.. but limited hours.
*feels proud

[Dealbreaker]

Im thinking now is a better time then ever to call it quits...

Gear wise ive maxed all my guys. In the end that was always my reason to keep going. AZ was always my big reason to play and i dont see that coming here for months.

Ill wait for monday-tuesday just to see what the update will be. My guess is nothing but if some how we get a GBR or AZ i may stay for another week.

Im just so bored right now. Dont really care for the sup stuff. All its done is make a game that was easy even easier.

[Overlord Zenon]

Naw I wont quit it just yet, I may leave for extended time, but I come back with a trio of friends usually, and not many of the new games are getting my attention, Dont own a psp after my last 3 literally fell appart, screws vanished, so no PSP2 or PSP1, might get fable 3 dont know and for reach im hesitent on doing that just dont know, plus with it being my off season soon for work, i'll have plenty of time to game again.

PS: non of my characters have ever reached lvl 90, and ive been on the game for a long time , but also took an extended leave :p so i got lots to do still

[bupjo]

i feel like quitting, but haven't yet. feeling unmotivated to play past one mission. got most of the weapons i've always wanted...units too. all character 'cept one leveled from 170 to 180. well duh of course i'm unmotivated, done most of what i wanted....thing is, on the fence about ended my subscription after phantasy star portable 2 comes out and quitting PSU for good. so why won't i do it then...do i have some sick addiction to the game? damn you Sega. way better games out there, yet PSU somewhat keeps me interested, yet not quite willing to throw it all away....the hell's wrong with me? *sigh*

[xjustsumloser]

I quit since updates after the sup were still BS. "big push to close the gap with Japan," psh yea right. I am not paying 10 dollars a month for one update a month. Most MMOs when an expansion/big update comes out you have access to a lot of new features from that update, we got a handful of new weapons. PSU is a joke, the suplemental update was just something they used to hold over our head for a few months to get people to resubscribe. I am gonna wait till next summer to subscribe again, so hopefully by then we will have about 5 new updates (if we are lucky) I can play with for a month and then unsubscribe again. Sega does not deserve any more than that from me.

[WHlTEKNIGHT]

I'm pretty much done aswell, The need to put something in the game thatis not a crappy /r mission. No update this week wil be the end for me.

I have left 2 times before but when I do cancel my sub this time I will have to snap the disk in 2.

[Dan1218]

It feels sad, but I shall be joining this group. I have been an active member since the beginning. My first monthly charge was October 15th when the Guardian's license first appeared on the marketplace and has been active since. One more month and I would have been playing and paying for 4 years. :(

I just can't get myself to continue paying on a 3 week update schedule, and like many other people in this thread there is too much coming out in the coming months.

My list of games is a mile long; Halo: Reach, Sonic Adventures, Phantasy Star Portable 2, Kingdom Hearts BBS, Two-Worlds 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Dead Rising 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and way too many more.

So for now I shall make that call to Xbox Customer Support, spend the next 20 minutes trying to understand "Bob" from India, and leave this Universe behind.

Also to add, VIVA LA ROBOLUTION!!!!! (I love Borderlands and Claptraps longtime)

[Xenobia]

Phantasy Star Portable just isnt a option to replace regular PSU with because when i got a graphic in 1080P or even scaled 1080P on a huge display, its just a different experience. Gameplay is most important, but good graphic definitely is increasing the experience to truly enjoyable levels, especially on a huge plasma display.

When i checked PSU portable screenshots, then i just had to say "sorry" this isnt the level of graphic im used to it and my 20 year old SNES, connected over RGB-Scart, could do better on 2D content. However, a portable console just isnt having the original retro feeling. So.. either regular PSU or im over with, i guess. Can still have a go and try it out, in term i got a PSP ever. Since im not having one for now. I was just checking screenshots, and they wasnt nearly equal to regular PSU.

Sometimes i think, PSU just is growing way to commercial in a certain way. Reason for leaving the development of the original PSU nearly behind and creating completly new kind of PSU for handheld consoles. Well, if that is all they capable of in term of graphic, they should stay on handheld. Its definitely selling better aswell, but dont ask me why, probably because of all the japanese kids. Im one of those persons who can do very less using a handheld, i like to use a good hardware and use a huge display, even a RPG shouldnt sacrifice graphic for no reason. RPGs arnt just here to be the "retro-genre", retro is retro and future is future. There is no need for new age-retro but that is what a handheld is used for. Anyway, other people my have different view, thats OK that way. I still think that there might be some limitations in capabilities, since its way easyer to develop for a handheld. Its just what the people expect from a handheld, but it would be disappointing on a huge console.

Its aswell fun that they was developing a PS2 version of PSU but at the time PSU was finally finished, the Xbox360 was already out and then they made a rather cheap port to take it over to Xbox360 and the graphic was just a little bit better because the Xbox is great at scaling and they was increasing details. Funnily enough, Xbox360 have to fight with a lot of slowdowns, even if the graphic is just a little bit better than on the PS2 (scaling can be done with very few hardware sacrifize). While other games, optimized for Xbox360 with lot more demanding stats, are running much better. It almost feels like a PS2 emulation, and aswell with the same hardware penalty such as a real emulation. Although, its still running way smoother than the PS2 version.

Anyway, even with all those weakness, the PS-Series still is having a special charme and it is hard to resist.

[Overlord Zenon]

i'll be around till the end of days, plus i wont quit till i get my dark falz 2 achievement

[Gibdozer]

RagolianHunter psu on 360 lags alot to. i kinda feel sorry for the pc and ps2 players because they played the game for sooooo long then they had to have there their files erased. its like hard work for nothing.

That is why I canceled my sub and won't be back to psu, they handled that very poorly. I played PSU for 3 years, but after hearing about the ps2/pc characters I wasn't sinking another minute.

Now I'm playing psp and waiting for psp2. If Sega doesn't change the way character data is stored I will never play another Phantasy Star Online.

Just a addition to this: nothing lasts forever... and your character data isn't truly safe unless you have free access to copy and back it up. Shortly before I got my Wii, I plugged in my NGC to run a little PSO with my old characters - only to find that the memory cards had borked. I cleaned everything up, tried a few tricks for similar problems from the forum archives, and even tried it on my Wii when I got it. Nothing helped... and they were official Nintendo cards.

*Shrug*

I don't know how my Dreamcast characters are doing... and at this point, I really don't care. My PSU character data has been logged, and I've seen the data files among a few of the various screenshots the logger released... however, I don't have the information myself, nor would I have any use for it right now. So whether or not that's an option, I don't know, and again... I'm really not that concerned about it at this point. I've got much of my old gear back on the 360 version, and most of my characters are at least lvl 80... but really, because of the inevitable shutdown and lack of any real motivation/incentive to play I mostly just log in to run one or two missions - then let it idle, if I log in at all anymore. I don't know if I want to quit or not yet, but I'm not actively playing at this point.

[Overlord Zenon]

characters were stored online for mostly 2 reasons, on the GC and DC era, it was to prevent cheaters, personally the character data should be stored on servers and console, so there is a techical backup for it

[xJACKTHERIPPERx]

i'll be around till the end of days, plus i wont quit till i get my dark falz 2 achievement

ya whats the deal with the last achievement for this game? can you get it? or

EDIT: i think im gonna take a break from psu. my sub renews on the 14th, so as soon as psu ends, reach begins, not to mention new vegas, fable 3, dead rising 2, and TFU 2. so many good new games comin out.

[Overlord Zenon]

you have to beat dark falz on S rank i beleive to make him transform into Df2, also cannot be obtained in story mode

Just a addition to this: nothing lasts forever... and your character data isn't truly safe unless you have free access to copy and back it up. Shortly before I got my Wii, I plugged in my NGC to run a little PSO with my old characters - only to find that the memory cards had borked.

I don't know if I want to quit or not yet, but I'm not actively playing at this point.

It's true nothing lasts forever and It sucks that your cube characters died. I do find some pleasure though in firing up an old game occasionally, like visiting a friend you haven't seen in awhile. Maybe I'm too nostalgic, but the last time I hooked up my DC(2-years ago) I was thrilled to see my characters and inventory still intact after nearly a decade!

I wouldn't advocate quitting for anyone who still enjoys the game, and doesn't mind the inevitable deletion. Its simply too disheartening for me.


characters were stored online for mostly 2 reasons, on the GC and DC era, it was to prevent cheaters, personally the character data should be stored on servers and console, so there is a techical backup for it

I can understand wanting too eliminate cheating but I've never held with punishing everyone for the actions of select individuals or groups.

I quit PSU for a year... me and all of my friends basically decided "Hey, we're not getting much out of it any more" Then the more we saw about PSP2 we wanted to play again and PSP just wasn't cutting it, so we came back and we're having fun again, woohoo?

[Dealbreaker]

Well i decided to call it quits. This game is feeling very stale. The SUP update didnt really ad anything to the game. Just made an already easy game more easy. Also there are better games coming out.

So with all that i plan on calling M$ by the end of the week and canceling. Good luck to all of you waiting for Segac to give you a real update.

PSU got boring so I might cancel my payment as well. I havn't played in months yet im still paying

[DragonForce]

It's official. I'm canceling on the 24th. There's a slim chance I'll be coming back. Absolute Zero doesn't even interest me anymore.

[Dealbreaker]

Just called and canceled :)

Though i would feel bad about it but i dont....

I can still play till oct 1st but i doubt i even turn it back on lol.

Good luck to all of you that are going to keep playing.


Now i have to figure out what to do with my stuff. I might just npc everything and be done with it. Or ill just find some randoms and give it all to them.

[Overlord Zenon]

either way works eh, or you could store it, in case you do decide to come back

[Midicronica]

I quit PSU for a year and a half and let FFXI consume my soul for that period while away. I'm now playing again and having a blast. Not too fond of those /R missions, though. lol

[SolomonGrundy]

that's cause you only tried one of them!

[Overlord Zenon]

I was gone for half a year, never quit, just didnt have the money to play online, plus i work seasonal and never have time to myself during the summer months, but im back, and plan to remain online for a bit more this time around
