How long until testing for Western release?

[The Ryan]

If anyone has any information on when or if there will be testing for the Western release, please put it here. I cannot wait to get the Western release up and running!

[Sizustar]

Next year the earliest.

Does it even need a test?

[The Ryan]

I don't think next year with them saying that it will be released early 2013. And it will need some testing since most likely it will be on servers here in the U.S. Even if it doesn't need testing, I just want to play it earlier because I have the Japanese version downloaded but have no idea what to do.

If the plan is to simply add new ships and a na/eu payment system, then we've tested enough.

No official information has been released on test date, or official date, it was only stated to plan to release in Spring of 2013.
And if that is the case, then probabely Summer of 2013?
Since US goes, Spring, Summer, Fall, winter, right?

AHHHHHHHH cannot wait that long!!!!! Guess I need to learn how to play the version I currently have lol.

I check the English website now everyday since it launched to see if the sections that are locked are open because there should be some good information there when it opens up.

You waited so long, you can wait more. And if you want to play the game in japanese then it's more trouble than its worth (you've got read guides on every single thing to progress normally), you have to memorise menus (in case you don't want to learn japanese), it's a pain in the ass generally.

[The Ryan]

Ya I know, I have to wait more, that is why I was hoping for some testing soon, to make it feel like its closer.

Most sources say Spring 2013

Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall for a calendar year. Q2 is usually Spring.

As I see it anyway, and I'm American.

idk japanese and im doing fine got everything pretty much memorized. it wasnt to hard to do either ill be playing jp server as my main but ill be on NA too

[Zari]

After the first day or two it is pretty easy to play the game in JP, the only thing I need to look up in guides now is maybe one or two things I might forget every so often and client requests.

Btw some sources say Spring 2013, but SEGA says early 2013 so I would say probably sometime during January-March.

I haven't seen one reliable source that used the word "Spring".

I have no idea where people are getting Spring from, and nobody will show me a valid source.

All of Sega's information just says 2013, nothing about Spring anywhere.

If I'm not mistaken, the original announcement, here on PSO-World, mentioned Spring 2013. The announcement was then edited to say early 2013. I guess this is causing a lot of confusion, heh.

It's funny how the Sega site simply says 2013

[Dan Maku]

Early-ish 2013. It's gonna be a while, so just play some PSO2J until then. :3

[The Ryan]

I was kinda wondering the same thing seeing the early 2013, hence why I was hoping for testing in the next few months or so. I may give PSOV2J another try and see how far I can get.

[Zarod89]

My guess winter 2013, because for some odd reason we get a long beta test.
Early 2013 is going to be early Summer 2013 for sure.

[Yakatsugi]

Never, we're all gonna be dead before 2013
