First Look at the new PSU Private Servers!

[Josephchrist863]

We finally get our first glance at PSU: private server! Which is a private server currently in the works. This is the first time we've seen PSU run online in over 2 years! So I'm obviously excited.

[PSO-Valerie :3]

That's quite a fine job they're doing. Didn't think they would go as far to bring the good ol' Casino Voloyal, Falz tomb and so forth. Looking good, and looking forward on that too.:D

[Subject Delta]

As much as I want to say this is a great success, I just can't. This is what the EGS Team had done years ago, in 2010 to be exact. So until I see any progress on the difficult plateaus the EGS team encountered I will air on the side of caution and assume I will never play PSU again.

[Freshellent]

I have slightly more faith that this will be far more successful than what was done before.

Keep at it! I'll have an ear to the ground.

[ShawnLeeGuku]

I'll admit, there's a chance I'll forsake PSO2 for this.

[HIT0SHI]

Awesome, look forward more to it!

[Noc Codez]

Cool maybe they can add the JP content that people in the states never received.

[SStrikerR]

I'm with you on this.

[gigawuts]

I have a tentative interest in this.

[JCGamer]

I'm happy to see this is a dream come true and hope this will come a reality to all of us here and for those that had access to private server self. They should include the Real PSU veteran to beta test and give out feedback on any current error that we may face with the server and game and have some real programming experience to help them run the game and make it fully functional

[PriestBelmondo]

I want this to happen but I don't want to put my hopes up too much. They have my support though Good job so far.

[DeathDragon2332]

Yeah until they get past the issues that EGS ran into, I am going to be less optimistic about this. If they do get past those issues then I have hope for this. They are also doing this in C over the Erlang that EGS chose.

[DreXxiN]

Having been one of the people running around on the server, it's running great so far, though the majority of functions aren't accessible. It's great.

[JCGamer]

Yeah until they get past the issues that EGS ran into, I am going to be less optimistic about this. If they do get past those issues then I have hope for this. They are also doing this in C over the Erlang that EGS chose.:-) you should join there testing progress you have the knowledge as PSU player :-) just saying just be nice they included u in and give your feedback to Tony :)

[Midori Oku]

I've talked to the people doing this, and I will most likely be helping them out with the combat related stuff. For example, PA modifiers, variance, enemy stats, and damage calculation overall. Assuming they get that far. Also, with the offline mod team having the data for the Japanese content, I see no reason why the content (obviously translated) could not be added to the game. Although there would need to be some type of download. It would just have to be something the two teams would have to get together on.

[Freshellent]

I'd like to see more overall progress on the server itself before we worry about the games balance. Since there's some glaring issues that need to be addressed about the game, it's going to take some time.

Ideally, I'd like to see better class balance and some major PA adjustments along with mission enemy level changes. Maps that actually match our characters power, since so much the older content became forgotten over time. It would be really nice to see that once everything is working, we'd be able to run the older maps that are still worthwhile to the new AoI maps. Stuff like Pre-nerfed Moatoob maps with much higher leveled mobs comes to mind.

I don't want this to be just another slicer/shotgun/jabroga spamming contest. As much as I miss the game I'd like to have some variety.

I have fiat in you two and can give them your expertise on that subject ^^

We should test the game play and behavior of the game that for sure

That's one of the many reasons why I want to help out with the combat balancing. The slicers were fine, but there were problems with other PAs. For the most part bullet PAs were fine. The only problem I can see with them is making some sort of balanced difference between twin pistols and rifles. Many balance problems do come from fighter PAs, but most of them can be fixed with a simple adjustment of the PA modifier. However, a majority of the PA balancing problems come from techs. For example, ice techs cast slower than any other type. With ice being the overall weakest tech type, it's stupid for it to have slower casting times. Yet fire/ground are the fastest and the strongest. There are many other issues with techs as well. Something that I'm trying to figure out for the offline mod as well.

[omega shadow x]

Okay so is this server PC only or will it work for PS2?. Just thought I could ask that here

[Tyreek]

This gonna be PC only. Sorry to say, but given amount of content that the PC version had, and the fact that PS2 couldn't take advantage of any newly released content, there's no way to put this back up on PS2 and keep things 1 - 1 without having an entirely new disk of this content converted for PS2. Which is impossible. Same with 360.

[omega shadow x]

So where may I find a pc copy?

[Tyreek]

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_3_8?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=phantasy%20star%20universe&sprefix=phantasy%2Caps%2C403

They're still available on Amazon. Pretty affordable to boot.

[ArataWata]

I'm pretty certain that this will probably not get anyway, but my love for PSU is making me hopeful and optimistic that this'll work out to be something amazing.

[DeathDragon2332]

:-) you should join there testing progress you have the knowledge as PSU player :-) just saying just be nice they included u in and give your feedback to Tony :)

Yeah I wouldn't mind helping but they probably already have enough people.

[KoNeko1192]

Oh man, I forgot how much I missed this game...

[Tes]

Good luck to them. Added the group on FB so I can be kept updated on any progress made.

[wohdin]

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_3_8?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=phantasy%20star%20universe&sprefix=phantasy%2Caps%2C403

They're still available on Amazon. Pretty affordable to boot.

So there's no "Blue Burst" edition of this game that's just a simple download-and-play? Bummer.

If the issues with PSO2 don't clear up soon, I might actually give this one a try. I didn't even know there was a PC version, actually; I wound up skipping PSU entirely because I thought it was an X360 exclusive haha.

[Chidori]

i miss psu lol, thats where i was introduced to this awesome series ^^ my only regret is that i started playing psu on the last year their servers wer up for the 360 version so i didnt get to fully enjoy it but it was very fun for me nontheless ^^

[Shinamori]

So where may I find a pc copy?

From what I understand is considered "Abandonware" so you can technically download it, but I don't know.

[Miyoko]

Words cannot describe how happy I am that I had a random urge to google "PSU private server". I really hope this gets going. PSO2 is absolute garbage, and I miss this game. Tried to get PSP1 working over PPSSPP but alas, it refuses to work. Played a little bit of the offline mode, and it just made me realize how much I missed this.

Best of luck to the developers. PS fans will love 'em forever if they pull this off.

oh please everyone hated psu in comparison to pso1. and pso2 has gotten better. it was admittedly really bad. but its def better now.

[Midori Oku]

oh please everyone hated psu in comparison to pso1. and pso2 has gotten better. it was admittedly really bad. but its def better now.

Yet many people like it. I don't see why people feel the need to tell people that PSU sucks. It's pointless. It's not like you're going to change their minds about the game.

[Freshellent]

Completely unrelated to anything- but I just remembered the Cards weapon. Goddamn do I miss that weapon, even it's weird ass sound the first time we were like wtf is that?

Really looking forward to playing the game again, I am patiently awaiting updates on the server. Take as much time as they need I say, it's worth it for me.

[JCGamer]

www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZoD2I1vEVE:-) cooooooooooool Midori your inside the game congrast the only thing we need now is Dragon in there and help out . I just hope they included me as well for me I love to test the server give my helping hand :-) with bugs or other issue

[Miyoko]

oh please everyone hated psu in comparison to pso1. and pso2 has gotten better. it was admittedly really bad. but its def better now.

Speak for yourself, I've always loved PSU. Even when I can admit it had a pretty awful launch, I still loved it and was having a blast. PSO2 has gotten worse since it launched, as far as I'm concerned.

Following what Oku said, let PSU fans be happy their game is coming back. Seems like most of us who loved original/AotI PSU have been disappointed with PSO and will get to have fun in Phantasy Star once more.

[UMVC3_Wolverine]

Let this garbage game die already.

[Chidori]

lol :3

[mctastee]

I missed out on PSU, so if this actually becomes a thing, I will be playing it.

[Freshellent]

Let this garbage game die already.

Hah, the irony.

[Chidori]

Let this garbage game die already.

...but I used a Pheonix Down on it! :-o

[Crazyleo]

...but I used a Pheonix Down on it! :-o

Wrong franchise. What you need is a Moon Atomizer.

[Chidori]

Wrong franchise. What you need is a Moon Atomizer.

oh ok :-o i'll throw some Star Atomizers too just incase ^^;

[darkante]

I would love too get on PSU again.
PSP2:I is very good, but the chain system changes alot of things not always for the better.

[DeathDragon2332]

I don't like the chain system in PSP2 and PSP2i at all.

[darkante]

I could do without it honestly, it kinda makes slow P.A pretty hard to use effektively.
Also, Ranger could do without Ranged resistent enemies and made the Rifles and Laser Cannon a bit more useful since the Shotgun is so OP anyway.

[Chidori]

i liked the single machingun and dual pistols in psu :3 they wer fun ^^

[Vintasticvin]

If the team behind this actually completes it I'd be more than happily uninstall PSO2 for this in a heart beat no kidding <3

[Chidori]

i'll join yah! ^^

[Mystil]

Funny, I was just thinking about PSU a few minutes ago.

Good luck to the team working on this.

[landman]

I really don't care about a PSU "server", but make Episode 3, Magashi Plan, Innocent Girl and Door to subspace story missions available in Extra mode/Episode 2 offline and I will be happy.

[Midori Oku]

I really don't care about a PSU "server", but make Episode 3, Magashi Plan, Innocent Girl and Door to subspace story missions available in Extra mode/Episode 2 offline and I will be happy.

That's going to be part of the offline mod.

[Home Dog]

Hopefully there will be more to test on the server soon so it can make progress.

[DeathDragon2332]

Soon as in a few months maybe. Tony is focused on functionality first, they haven't even thought about implementation yet, or at least not seriously.

[ArataWata]

I really don't care about a PSU "server", but make Episode 3, Magashi Plan, Innocent Girl and Door to subspace story missions available in Extra mode/Episode 2 offline and I will be happy.

It would be impressive and great if they managed to get the server up and running with the original AotI intact.

It would be unbelievable and hella hype if they managed to somehow add in the the work and content from the offline expansion mod thingy and implemented it into the server.

Though, it seems kinda too early to say at this point.

[Mystil]

I really don't care about a PSU "server", but make Episode 3, Magashi Plan, Innocent Girl and Door to subspace story missions available in Extra mode/Episode 2 offline and I will be happy.

It's kind of funny that we have all that already as its on the disc..just don't have a means to "unlock" it.

[landman]

I doubt Innocent Girl and Door to subspace are on the disc, they were quest that introduced the two portable games, so they were planed later and provably loaded server side. And about Episode 3 I really don't know.

[Chidori]

Nice ^^ i hope everything works out with this psu thing :)

[Midori Oku]

[Chidori]

nice :0

[Tyreek]

Now you just need to get those story missions working and in order. I heard the JP version of A Brighter Day had a special protocol for handling its subplots, but they weren't able to get it.

[Chidori]

ah nice i hope it goes well ^^ want to play psu again :3

[Chik'Tikka]

+^_^+ I'd like to play PSU again+^_^+

[Mystil]

Leave it to SEGA make things overly complicating than it should be, even for themselves, heh.

[Chidori]

lol ^^

[Wesker8]

This was my first Phantasy Star game. The fact that it's going be revived makes me so very happy. :)

[Chidori]

Same id love to play this again ^^

[SuperSoup]

If this server does happen, it would work with standalone Ambition of the Illuminus, right? I don't need the original PSU?

[Chrysheight]

I'm looking forward to this. I played quite a bit on JP PSU. Was so much fun, I miss those days.

[DeathDragon2332]

If this server does happen, it would work with standalone Ambition of the Illuminus, right? I don't need the original PSU?

Yes just AOTI is needed.

[Crazyleo]

There's a web site for the server. Need to google it

Edit: removed link

[Crazyleo]

Oops. My bad

Thanks. Edited the post

will it work as well with only the original PSU (pc version) ?




also if ya got the game for pc (psu or psuaoti) can ya even access/play the offline story mode, while not connected to the internet?

[Gunbladelad]

Is this going to be PC only like the last batch of server projects were? I kept all the network updates on my PS2 copy of AOTI just in case anyone actually includes support for that. After all, the PS2 and PC could play together on the official servers.

It will never be on 360 that is simply impossible and PS2, although possible will also never happen. This project is PC.

[Gunbladelad]

Ah well - pity. There was no harm in asking after all.

[Stealthcmc1974]

I was late to playing PSU, so I never got to play online like I did for PSO. I'll be keeping an eye on how this goes. :)

[Chidori]

cant wait ^^

[Akakomuma]

And here I thought PSO2 locking us out was a bad thing, now I don't even care cause PSU BAYBEE.

[Stealthcmc1974]

It only locks out fucking retards that don't know how to use pingzapper or a vpn so it keeps the lobby rats away.....sort of nice no longer having a 4th floor like this server is going to have once its live :D

Why would something like that bother you? Unless you were always in the lobby as well.

[Vintasticvin]

Why would something like that bother you? Unless you were always in the lobby as well.

Its very unsettling to see the same character just sitting the 24/7 not mivinv or talking.. They just sit there wasting space that someone wanting to actually play could use. But yes good riddance to the lobby trash being dealt with.

[Lumpen Thingy]

Why would something like that bother you? Unless you were always in the lobby as well.

tell you what.....why don't you play a game for 5 years and every time you go through the same area just to go to a mission you see the same 40 people being annoying and worthless taking up space that an actual player can take up instead and see if you like lobby rats then.

[SJRKnowledge96]

I third this notion as well. Its these worthless idling pieces of trash that irritates and onr of many reasons online PS games has hackers killing servers.

I fourth this(?) (Man that sounds so weird).
But yeah, I wholeheartedly agree.

[Vintasticvin]

Hopefully the devs will come up with an anti idle system

[Stealthcmc1974]

Yeah, like a "Auto log-out after 15 min of inactivity" type of thing.

Oh god i agrea with you so bad lol ^^, as bad as this sounds = thanks to the ddos i would say around a 80% decrease of lobby trash. It was getting really bad in block 209 which was basically the b20 of vita blocks and they wer slowly seeing into the peaceful and noob friendly b201 -_-

[Seany1990]

Does anybody know if nethacking will be moderated on this server? It completely ruined the pc version on the official server

[Midori Oku]

All forms of hacking will not allowed, and will be moderated. The only thing players are allowed to do at the moment is hack their character looks (hairstyles, outifts, etc.....).

[DeathDragon2332]

All forms of hacking will not allowed, and will be moderated. The only thing players are allowed to do at the moment is hack their character looks (hairstyles, outifts, etc.....).

Which is what EGS allowed during testing. I believe they were going to allow it anyway because it does no harm. Not sure what Tony and them think about allowing character swapping and the such. On EGS there were dozens of Sonics running around lol.

[Sion9000]

Wow, I'm actually really excited for this. Wouldn't have even heard about it if it wasn't for this thread. Best of luck to them.

[Seany1990]

I wish i never discovered this thread, now im suffering from nostalgia overload

[MoonlightMyau]

Woah - I'm really excited by this. I never thought I would but I actually really miss PSU. Looks like they're doing a good job so far :)!

[Chidori]

I wish i never discovered this thread, now im suffering from nostalgia overload

I understand completly ^^

[SStrikerR]

So I guess I'll ask...do the devs of this server believe that they can get past the problems that EGS faced?

[AlliThePally]

I've joined the group i'm excited to see where it goes!

[Seany1990]

So I guess I'll ask...do the devs of this server believe that they can get past the problems that EGS faced?

They havent posted an update in quite a while whereas before they were doing it very regularly.

[AlliThePally]

Busy at work? Or hitting a snag?

[Chidori]

I hope it works out for them :3

[Seany1990]

Busy at work? Or hitting a snag?

Well I just checked their website and they have infact posted an update. Im not sure how far EGS got but im still glad to see that they are still working on it. I was concerned that their motivation might have been dwindling.

[SStrikerR]

If they get it working, awesome. I'm not getting my hopes up any more though. I wish them the best of luck. If I could help, I would.

[Chidori]

Hows it going with this? ^^

[ArataWata]

Hows it going with this? ^^

You'd be pretty off checking the server's forum for updates instead of checking here.

I'd link it to ya but I can't because of obvious reasons. >.>

Just as slow as one would expect, I wouldn't get your hopes up to be honest as they haven't reached the complicated stages where others have ran into a brick wall.

[Midori Oku]

Just as slow as one would expect, I wouldn't get your hopes up to be honest as they haven't reached the complicated stages where others have ran into a brick wall.

I wouldn't exactly say that. When you only have 5-6 people working on the project it tends to take some time. The team is currently focusing on things that were never really worked on the EGS. To be honest. the progress is going better than most think. Missions are currently being worked on as well as enemy/player stats, and damage calculations.(enemy/player stats, PA adjustments, and damage calculations are something I'm personally working on)

People constantly ask to help, yet never follow through with helping if they are given something to do. I've actually started up a portion of my part of the project that I could use help with, yet nobody seems interested. People seems eager to "test" the server, yet if you give them actual stuff they can help with they turn away. For example, my project thread on the private server forums has over 300 views, yet nobody has offered to help even though I clearly say "if anyone would like to help, let me know." Maybe I would have better luck with that here on PSO-world?

Anyway, if anyone here would actually like to help me with my part of the project send me a PM. I can give you instructions on what I could use help with.

That is the whole point the major issues that stopped the egs server are not even in the sights of the team yet, sooo as I said before I would not get my hopes up for it being finished any time soon or at all.

[Midori Oku]

That is the whole point the major issues that stopped the egs server are not even in the sights of the team yet, sooo as I said before I would not get my hopes up for it being finished any time soon or at all.

Trust me, the team has access to everything the EGS had, and talks with members of the EGS team. Even Agrajag, the main person working on the offline mod project helps. I'm in the IRC with Adam, Tony, Agrajag, Mikuru and others everyday. I can assure you the team is working on it 110%. Some members of the team will even spend 24+ hours at a time working on it.

I can understand why you as well as others feel like you do, but try and have a little bit of faith in the team. I can however, say that I was on the same boat when I first heard about it, and before I joined the team. You are correct though, it will not be finished soon. We will work on it to the best of our ability. However, the more people we can get to help out the better. We will need people to test in the future, but for now we could use people that can have extensive knowledge of the game itself, or have other skills that would be vital for the team.

I'm in the IRC with Adam, Tony, Agrajag, Mikuru and others everyday. I can assure you the team is working on it 110%. Some members of the team will even spend 24+ hours at a time working on it.

I can understand why you as well as others feel like you do, but try and have a little bit of faith in the team. I can however, say that I was on the same boat when I first heard about it, and before I joined the team. You are correct though, it will not be finished soon. We will work on it to the best of our ability. However, the more people we can get to help out the better. We will need people to test in the future, but for now we could use people that can have extensive knowledge of the game itself, or have other skills that would be vital for the team.
I never doubted people were working long and hard on the project but the fact of the matter is most people know there are some serious hurdles the team has yet to encounter and that these hurdles are what left the others PSU sever projects in the dust. Until I see progress on things that were an issue for servers such as EGS and nyuuniverse I will continue to believe that we will not play the game in full form ever again.

Fair enough. :P

[SStrikerR]

Fair enough. :P

I don't know about other people, but I can't say I would be very interested in devoting a large portion of my time that I'm very skeptical about. Multiple people have asked this question in one form or another: "Will this team be able to conquer the problems that defeated previous attempts by other servers?" Unless I missed a post, this question has always been avoided, and never answered. All I see is "We haven't gotten to that yet." That to me says that this team isn't confident that they can solve those problems. If they could, a straight answer would be given. Hell, even a, "We're not positive, but we have some ideas and think we can make it work where others couldn't" would be a sufficient answer. Nobody here is looking for any promises at this point. But it would be a pretty asshole move to get people's hopes up when the team isn't confident that they have even the ABILITY to get the job done, let alone the drive and time to actually do it.

Hey guys this is awesome news i know it's not 100% but if it ends up working right on. if it doesn't at least someone else tried again.

[SuperSoup]

I wouldn't exactly say that. When you only have 5-6 people working on the project it tends to take some time. The team is currently focusing on things that were never really worked on the EGS. To be honest. the progress is going better than most think. Missions are currently being worked on as well as enemy/player stats, and damage calculations.(enemy/player stats, PA adjustments, and damage calculations are something I'm personally working on)

People constantly ask to help, yet never follow through with helping if they are given something to do. I've actually started up a portion of my part of the project that I could use help with, yet nobody seems interested. People seems eager to "test" the server, yet if you give them actual stuff they can help with they turn away. For example, my project thread on the private server forums has over 300 views, yet nobody has offered to help even though I clearly say "if anyone would like to help, let me know." Maybe I would have better luck with that here on PSO-world?

Anyway, if anyone here would actually like to help me with my part of the project send me a PM. I can give you instructions on what I could use help with.
I wish I could say "sure, I'd love to help!" But in all honesty, I know absolutely nothing about servers and am not familiar with the deeper parts of the game. Oh well, hopefully somebody who's more knowledgable can help.

[Noblewine]

Happy to hear that some people care about psu. Keep up the good work.

[DragonForce]

I have a pretty badass pc. Anything I can do?

[Noblewine]

I was talking to a few friends about the server and one brought up Sega pulling a cease and desist to halt the project. I hope this isn't true, I mean, they don't seem to care about psu none less during in-game issues or when people were scammed and lost their items.

The people that are part of the project are asking for helpers. I dunno what they are looking for but you can probably contribute in some way.

[Midori Oku]

If you're looking to possibly help, send me a PM.

[Noc Codez]

What ever happened to this ?

Any updates ?

[SStrikerR]

It's still being worked on.

I offered to help, but I guess they don't need it.

[SuperCentipede]

I had an idea last night for the towns, you know, where you meet up with other players.

A less resource heavy way is to develop a chat/shop/inventory interface. Think PSPortable 1 between missions, but with a chat room.

[Noblewine]

I wonder what the progress.

[Hyoka]

I wonder what the progress.

Well, the facebook page attached to the youtube vid in the OP has an updateposted in March that lets you access the server (would post a link but, you know, new account)

[TalonWildstar]

i am very excited about this, joined and logged onto server yesterday for first time, loved hearing the music memories came flooding back!!

[Chidori]

nice!!! cant wait to get back on psu ^^

[Noblewine]

Agreed though it will take awhile. Socializing is pretty fun though I just like to sit in the middle of Neudaiz and listen to the town theme.

[Chidori]

i tried getting on the psu servers its kinda hard? anyone got links to the download? i think i may be using the wrong one ^^;

I can't get PSU: Clementine to work atm. Sorry. Installation is tedious. I had to ask for help. =/

[Ultrex]

tried going on the server lots of times only to get stuck on checking for patch files screen and then it just gives me an error. Anyone know what it could be?

[neilp4453]

You guys think there will be any more character wipes for this?

I was interested in setting it up...but I don't think they have gone Gold yet. I'd rather wait until they have everything running permanently.

That's a tough call the character wipe that happened recently was because of an update. I'm assuming it will happen again when they're implementing more changes to the game.

Hmmm....tough choice. I've had to go through hoops to get this thing running.

I wonder if they have accelerated xp in place.

[Knight Raven]

Well great work so far guys n gals. Bit tricky to get it all working but was wonderful to log in and make my cast ranger I once played oso much. Game looks great *i was able to get the high res working* particle effect seem much much vivid! I have 900+hours on my olde PSU main **dony judge me! I've fallen asleep many of times runnin with friends!** ill use this exp to help out in any way I can. Pretty funny bug report sofar! There doesn't seem to be an invisible wall preventing enemies from entering the previous room during a mission. I had a good laugh about this as my poor lvl 1 cast was chased outta linear platform hehe! Keep up the good work. N most of all THANKYOU AND GOOD LUCK!

[SStrikerR]

I would say that regardless of what happens in between now and launch, there's a 99% chance that they will do a full account wipe if/when the game transitions from beta to a stable release. Some games allow people's data to transfer from beta to live game, but that's not as common as wipes upon release. A player that's playing for progression now and for the foreseeable future is almost certainly wasting their time.

[Zysets]

So how is this server? How far into development?

I haven't logged onto here in awhile, and I came back to find this! I'm glad work on a private server for PSU is going on, I was really starting to miss this game more and more.

I would check out their twitter or forums for info. There are a lot of things available, and a lot of things that aren't. And with such a small team, it's impossible for them to set a deadline. It would be best to just check in on development periodically and see where things are at.

Ah yeah, I didn't expect it to be anywhere near completion. I'm just glad that there's a project going on at all for this, I remember the first time someone tried to develop a private server, they reached a sort of dead end and scrapped the project.

I'll definitely be cheering the team on!

[Noblewine]

The exp goes up every eight levels by one (Example: lv 1=5exp lv 5=6exp etc).

A few maps are playable and free to playtest. You can now exchange partner cards to other players. However email feature doesn't work. Writing message on your card doesn't save either. Nor will it tell you where your friends/acquaintances are online. Clothing and parts are now working. You can level up and the lv cap was dropped to lv 40. Shortcuts work as well (might not save).

[Squal_FFVIII]

By the time this server is done we will be playing PSO3 =/

PSU is also one of the worse PS games to date why would anyone even bother with this? ^^;

Would you like to guess how many people benefit from your negativity? I'll give you three guesses, and the first two don't count. Besides, if your opinion is that PSU is terrible, why do you even care when it gets finished?

Since we're sharing opinions here, I'll share mine. I think you should spend more time paying attention in class, and less time criticizing other people's work.

Have a nice day!

[Noblewine]

Honestly the fact that people still care about psu so much that they want to resurrect it is makes me happy. =/

I will be frank by saying I rather play psu over pso2 the waifu simulator. =/

That's funny since PSU was also wifu simulator if you really want to go there. I'm actually surprised the project is still going on and actually making progress. Not that I'll touch it but that's good for people that actually want to play it at some point.

[Noblewine]

Fair enough Lumpy Thingy.

How many fashion shows were you in the audience for just to see what people do?
Or did you bomb any of the fashion shows?

[Vintasticvin]

Hm strange, me and a friend were talking about popping in to take a look at the server. Quite frankly I'd be more than happy to tell Pso2 to kiss my flat brown goodbye as I make the jump back to Psu with said friend when the server reaches completion.

For those talking mess about the server get your ugly asses outta here and leave the Psu and SEA Pso2 players and keep your vile toxic asses in Jp Pso2 or whatever, seriously get bent assholes.

Was never in any because I wasn't lobby trash in that game. :-)

[[Ayumi]]

Hopefully that meant you didn't only play White Beast either, lol.


Either way, I did give the server a go the other day during maintenance as I had PSU installed already a while ago and seeing at it was a 2MB download to get on the servers I thought:

"Why the hell not?"

I had the game set up already from when I was playing PSU offline a while, back but it seems all of the settings in the server were completely done and made the game play/look horrible.
Only played in full-screen with no options for me to change it, and my right joystick didn't want to work whatsoever.
Might I add the full-screen resolution was horrid looking as well.

So what exactly don't you really like on PSO2?
I'm personally itching more to see a PSO2 private server up and running.
The only way I can truly get excited for the PSU private server is if they add all the content that was released on the Japanese server sooner or later. That would be great.

[Harrison12]

Finally downloaded everything to get on, mostly everyone is doing same thing from demo lol sitting. I ran around changed my clothes but charter was being terrible today so i got DC a lot.. but overall looks good a lot of bugs but hey work is work,, I'm having fun messing around in story brings back good memories

[darkante]

Couldn´t help myself to test this. I just loved playing with Ranger in old PSU.
But i couldn´t get certain weapons to work so invisible yay (mostly Laser Cannon and Grenade Launcher).

I am not sure if grenades are able to do splash damage yet and laser cannons can penetrate.
