That's right, the closed beta will be extend until 11pm on the 30th of April. Testers will recieve an additional 1000 AC to use during this extension after today's maintenance is over. Additionally, Ship 6 will become availalbe during this time and anyone who creates and levels a character to 10 on Ship 6 will recieve an item code for a 500 FUN ticket that can be used from the open beta and on. Any player who raises a character to level 20 on any ship will also recieve a 500 FUN ticket for the open beta.

To recap rewards:
Raise a character to level 10 on any ship: Weapon Hologram room decoration
Raise a character to level 20 on any ship: 500 FUN item code
Raise a character to level 10 on Ship 6: 500 FUN item code

I'm really excited about this. I can't get enough of the game so I'm glad I get to play for a bit longer.

It's going to be interesting splitting my small amount of playtime in between PSO2 and GW2.

This has been awesome, I was late getting into the closed beta so I'm glad to have just a bit longer to play!

It's killing me to think that I would have to wait at least another year if they do go international with it XD; If we aren't region locked, I would so be playing the JP version in the meantime :V

AUGH they're giving us an incentive to play ALL on one ship and grind to lvl 20 ALL over again???

I CAN'T DO THIS! JUST END IT ALL! I HAVE TO GET A LIFE, But you're making me choose between 1000 fun. ;o;

Also I DOUBT it will, but this better not be pushing away OBT- Okay I'm sure it won't.

BUT SERIOUSLY, AUGH!

I feel the same way. One part of me is happy for the extension, and even happier that there's additional incentive to play it. The other part is worried about my life priorities, because now I feel even more compelled to play.

I wonder what the big deal is about Ship 6 anyways. I wonder if they made some changes on it?

Hoho, another 2 more days to go nuts over PSO2. Getting to level 10 is pretty trivial if you plan correctly. About the reward for getting a character to level 10 on ship 6, does that mean that you will get an extra 500 FUN point ticket in the open beta?

Though to be serious, I really need to start studying for my exams instead of playing PSO 2...

@Dragwind: The big deal is that they've got a new ship up, bringing the total up from 5 ships to 6. They want people to stress it out.

Vashyron
Apr 27, 2012, 02:38 AM

More than likely they are incentivizing everyone to bundle up on a ship to stress test it.

Dark Emerald EXE
Apr 27, 2012, 02:38 AM
Maybe adding another ship to test the new hardware's limitations?
As for the level 10.....that's not truly that difficult with that EXP thing from AC but yea the guide that was post earlier in this one would be easier......although since I don't want to have to repeat everything I did on my first char... I'll just keep using the EXP item until I'm 10 and call it a day...

The way it is said sounds like they aren't giving you a "ticket" but rather you will get an email or something with a 16(?) digit code that you have to input in the game to redeem.

This being the case they are somewhat rewarding the people who have multiple accounts in the beta because assumedly those "tickets" could given to someone else. so let's say you have 4 accounts and got all of them with a lvl 20 on them... and then you go ahead and get the lvl 10 on Ship 6. Well you could theoretically get FUN point codes from all those characters and then make your real account or only use one account and use all those FUN points on that one accounts. That's 4000 FUN points which if the ratios are anything as they usually are that is like $40

I think imma still stay on Ship 2 for the most part....if I could send stuff from main character to one in ship 6 I would but if not then imma just see how quick I can get to level 10 on ship 6 and finish my mags and such on ship 2

you likely can as My Room and Storage is, I think, on it's own server

Yes, but when you spent AC you would get an equivalent amount of FUN. $10 = 1000 digital currency usually. So $10 = 1000 AC = 1000 FUN.

No point in guessing prices right now.

And they probably threw in the 100 AC = 100 FUN trade just to see if it worked properly. Who knows if we get that.

Except for the fact that you can also get 200-400 FUN just for logging in then another 70-100 every day for good jobbing 10 people then some more whenever you take npc friends with you on missions.

Its not as hard to get FUN as it is AC so their value isn't equal, not trying to be an ass just shining some light on the subject. ^^

This is true. The ratio of FUN gained per AC spent in the closed beta is not the final rate. And either way, FUN is still free. Log in and you get 200 FUN or more. Good job 10 friends and that's a maximum of 100 FUN per day. Use friend partners and there's some more.

EDIT: Sniped :wacko:

Would be nice to find out can you send stuff to yourself despite what server...kind of just like sending stuff through one account...

There is 5 (or 6 now) Ships which are each 1 server.
There is also the "My Room" server which handles all the my room stuff which is why it can individually be shut down as well as experiences different lag and different problems.
There is also the "Log in" Server which handles a person logging in and such.

So there are at least 8 servers running right now.


There may also be a "Patch server" and a "Warehouse" server, but not sure because I don't know how those are exactly handled because both could be part of other servers.

The different servers explains how and why I could be playing and you can't log in or how we could be playing and suddenly not have access to My Room and other such things.

Alenoir
Apr 27, 2012, 10:45 AM
Unless your inventory is on a separate server (the "warehouse" server like what RocSage mentioned), chances are you will not be able to share your items across servers. (Character and item data are tied to the server they happened on.)

Should be a cinch to make it to 10 on Ship 6, now that I know everything about the quests and mater board~ Last night I made my Force go from 5 to, like, 12 or 13 just from doing quests on my Hunter then switching over for the reward. Already hit 20 Hunter on Ship 2, so I'm looking at a nice 1000 FUN right off the bat~

For now, I must figure out what to waste my new extra AC on. Oh, and finish my last client order. Unless they add more.
