I touched on this in another post, but mini-games have been suggested by numerous people, but that's about as far as it's gone. But what do you think would be fun as a mini-game specifically? Here are a couple I thought up, what kinds would you like to see?

Rappy Roulette (dropping rappies on a board divided into different squares, have something panic the rappies, maybe let the players attack them. Place bets on where they trip and fall after being panicked.)

Some kind of Card Game - players could initiate 1 on 1 battles in lobby/MyRoom

Shooting Range - Over the shoulder aiming, no lock-on. Different levels of difficulty with stationary/moving targets (picture the shooting range in zelda ocarina of time, or resident evil 4) All classes could participate with gunslash.

Whack-A-Mag (whack-a-mole with mags)

how about change it to whack-a-rappy? XD
as long as the prizes is interesting, i think it will be a nice addition to the game..
like a nice t shirt with CHAMPION text in the front chest for the top twenty highest point for the week?
or a toy crown headgear.. XD

My first thought was actually Whack-a-Caterdra'n, but Whack-a-Mag is more fun to say :)

Yeah "Whack-a-rappy" is better.

Your mini-games is your gear, mag(s), buying or selling (if you have premium) stuff. When I'm not out filling client orders I'm doing all the stuff I listed. You can make as many characters as you want for free or even pay for them. You have to try different classes, gear and mags. This game was probably made with people having some sort of life.

All I have to say is "Boring people get bored." If you're getting bored playing this game it isn't Sega's problem and you shouldn't be looking for them to fix your problem.

First off, I'm not bored, yes, raising your mag is a mini-game, but that doesn't mean there can't be more.

And 2nd, the reason I quoted your response, you could not be more wrong. "If you're getting bored playing this game it isn't Sega's problem..." yes, yes it is. Their goal is to make a FUN entertaining game that will keep their players coming back and paying more money. Online games most certainly care about if their game is getting boring, which is why they are constantly updating.

Edit: And 3rd, buying/selling items is not a mini-game, it's called an economy and every online game has one.

Now, either stay on topic, or keep your hate out of this thread. :P

Well, first of all, SEGA needs to put all the mini-games and side activities from their Yakuza (Ryu ga Gotoku) games into this one as well!
Like karaoke, a casino, darts, pool, bowling, and of course, table tennis:

Bring back lobby go-go ball. With the updates between PSO and PSO2 as far as movement controls go, I think the game could be a pretty engaging diversion.

Those are some very good ideas. For the card game I would like something like FF8 card game. What would the prizes be for these mini games?

I totally forgot about lobby ball in PSO Ep. I&II! The controls were so rigid back then, you're right, with the new movement it could be really fun!

Maybe FUN or other scratch prizes? And yea the FF8 card game was really fun!

They need a Dance Dance Revolution Mini game to keep all the lobby dancers at bay. :3
