"my room"

[jkrox4eva]

how many people are going to go in depth with the "my room" feature. To me, it looks really cool and ima give it a try.

[Fleece]

I'm having a shop for me and my friends, so we can all sell our goods that we dont need and share their rooms.

[justinbrady]

i am a huge fan of player property in MMO's. PSU will have a custom room and player shops...i plan to spend a lot of time havign fun with these. this makes the games fun last longer and there will be planety of time for fighting as well. =]

Yes, I too http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[justinbrady]

yay siren! maybe we can open a shop together =]] hehe

[jkrox4eva]

as long as the servers are linked ill be happy, bcuz i dont no how many people are getting psu for ps2... som1 should make a poll. bcuz im going to go eat some cereal bcuz thats what im in the mood for. yay cereal (fruity pebbles / count chocula. yum)

[Dakota]

i'll probably get everything i need (like weapons and such) then spend the rest of my money on the room and jazz it up a bit

[Jozon]

You just got owned by your cereal,

Cereal: yeah, what's up, you ain't eatin' us today. LOL j/k

I might go indepth depending on how it works.

[JAR]

I'd love to go indepth but the only decoration I'd really want would be a daisho set on the wall or a wooden mount.

[CherryLunar]

Going in depth would be fun. :3

Hehe, yeah!

I'd find it really funny if the PSO world community developed some kind of cartel of economic domination.

[Kyuu]

I dunno about anyone else, but I saw that sakura tree in a video in someone's room, and decided then and there that I had to have a sakura (cherry) tree in mine as well.

[Saner]

it might be pretty pricey to upgrade/customize the room.


I will focus more on clothes and equipment. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif but I might improve my room eventually.

[Numnuttz]

ill mmost likely get into it at first but knowing me about a day later and i wont really try anymore. i do plan to do that store thing though. that sounds like a good way to gain some extra mestea without even workin for it.

[Fleece]

Someone Should open an 'OFFICIAL PSO-WORLD STORE!' On PSU

*Looks at Ryna*

[Strider_M]

Yeah Sure why not?.... I mean what else I should do while in the lobby!?

I just hope I don't have a bunch a girls run up to me and say... "MAKEOVER"!!

[linkzone]

yah know what would be awsome, if i could get a disco ball and some laser lights or a lava lamp and put music in the rooms. we could have a party, discos not dead, in fact im part of the Robot Revival Community the RRC. were dedicated to bringing back the robot and that thing that people do where they point to the floor and then the sky then back to the floor. who wants to come to my party ill send you an invite? get your disco on, yeah baby.

[Inazuma]

dunno bout the rest but there were lava lamps in the beta

[Zarbolord]

Your room is going to be an important place. Each character you create will have his/her own. The room reflects your character's (or your) mood, likes/dislikes, styles, etc... I'm defenitly going to make mine look as if it was my character's house. Each with a different style. It's important as others will probably go in and check it out, also you'll spend some time in there, so why keep it how it was at the start?

[Fleece]

No Only one room per account, you cant have more than one.

[_Tek_]

Only one room, that's awesome. I won't have to spend precious meseta decorating one for each character.

Does it also mean you get one PM per account? Or can you have several?

[Lyrise]

I think you mean one room per character. By no means were all 4 of my rooms the same when I was playing beta. The only thing even shared by one account is the shared box.

As for my room, I intend to load it up with plants like I did in beta. It's nice having something akin to a personal greenhouse as a place to relax.

[Tycho]

It's cool. I like customization.

[Axios-]

I thought it'd be cool to have a custom playlist for background music in your room for everyone to hear. I know that there are censorship and memory problems with that though so it's probably a better idea on paper than in use. Just a nice thought.

lol if THAT feature was in, imagine visiting a friend and their custom room track is The Simpsons or Green Acres intro theme that endlessly loops!!!! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

can you imagine trying to have a serious chat while listening to that in their room? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif lol I think I laughed myself silly at the thought! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif


edit: NO WAIT!!! LOL!!! imagine the classic Garfield cartoon show intro music theme looped in someone's My Room!!! (you know the cartoon show that's part Garfield and part U.S. Acres) XD


<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Saner on 2006-05-24 14:30 ]</font>

[Axios-]

That's why you wouldn't want to hang out in that room. A lame soundtrack would be as terrible as hideous color combinations. Just another layer of customization~

[Saner]

lol at least Xbox360 people can play those tracks through their headset! lol so other X360 headset users would go bonkers. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

but ya, its a funny thought. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

[jkrox4eva]

i always thought theres a headset for ps2. my friend mentioned that he uses one when he plays socom 3 or 2 or watever... (ive never been 2 his house but idk if hes lying or not.)

[-Klaus-]

Wooo, I can't wait for this. Inviting friends in-game over will be awsome.

I'm probably gonna find a bunch of water/plant-like things to decorate mine with... you know, natury things. Sorta zen-ish, like a relaxing place. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif


But, my top priorites(as of now, always subject to change. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif) :
Outfit.
Weapon/Armor.
My Room.

Sweet, party in my room. when it the game comes out. months from now. oh and since the xbox gets a head set why not the computer? yeah the servers are connected with the ps2, but the ps2 can also use the head set. what gives?



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: linkzone on 2006-05-24 21:06 ]</font>

[ANIMEniac]

i predict that there will be whole days that no one sees me b/c i am remodeling my room

[linkzone]

i wish i could get more than one PM for my room so the one i get wont be alone. my room will be awsome.

[Rihcky]

Its a novelty thing to me.

[Saner]

I think I mapped out how our rooms are shaped. the entrance (E) has those squares you place stuff on them. then around the corner is your bed and PM. this is based from he pics they have shown but there might be another room and I haven't figured out where the wardrobe and bank are located but most likely on the southeast side of the bedroom.



_E__
I..I..I
I..I..I

[chibiLegolas]

I'm going to mostly neglect my room till I have eccess meseta at higher levels.
With all this talk about synthesis with your PM, I'd rather spend my $ on better:
weapons/armor (synthesis doesn't sound cheap)
outfit/accessories
THEN my room.

The idea behind this is hopefully I'll be busy out in the field kill'n baddies than spending time in my room (exept for synthesis work). I'd rather hang around the lobbies/towns than spend them in a confined room.
But that's just me.

Smart idea. But a better way to go about it is to not have access to meseta early on. Because early on, you'll be really tempted to sell the drops you find, mostly consisting of synthesis materials. You could sell them for low amounts of meseta, only to find out later that synthesis materials don't sell for cheap, or you can slug it out at the beginning and not worry about it later on. (basic photons sell for maybe 2 meseta, I can't remember exactly, but they cost 200 in the shop. Other elements sell for 25, but you get them for 500 from the NPC. The gap is pretty big here...)

[SekotheFOmar]

I've always been looking for an mmorpg (True Fantasy Online) to where I can actually have a personal space like a house or a shed, and Final Fantasy is just not good enough

[justinbrady]

idk...i plan to play this game for so long that either way i am gonna end up spending a lot of time on the cosmetics of my char (outfit) and my room. so whether i spend my early meseta on things like that or gear...ill get around to both eventually.

[justinbrady]

one more thing :0. thats what i did wrong with WoW....i spent to much time worrying about the level races, honor competitions and gold grinds...i forgot to take some time to just have fun...i dont plan to do this in PSU. =]

[linkzone]

hopefully there will be updated like new stuff for your room, new clothes, stuff for your PM, things like that. but im worried about the ps2 and xbox not being able to updated, im gonna use the PC but since the servers may be connected (xbox not confermed to be seperated) they may not make alot of updated cause you cant download an update on a ps2, maybe the xbox since its got a big harddrive and all.

instead of worrying about updates, just enjoy what the game already provides! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/burger.gif

[physic]

darnit saner, stop being teh happy apologizer /just be happy guy. As a revolutionary mind set person myself your desire to have evryone just accept whatever comes rubs me wrong.
thats said linkzone, i dont think any platform will get more downloads than the other, they will gimp it to teh lowest common denominator.

[linkzone]

thats not cool. but i guess we have to be fair to those who cant upgrade their PC or buy a new xbox 360. and i think they should take the game to the PS3 later down the line.

[Nika]

Only when I got a lot of meseta

[fronebullare]

If theres one thing I love, its customizing things, so for sure i'll be getting in to this pretty deep. I hope they have themes for the rooms, like a rappy room, with a big toy rappy in the corner.

[Saner]

the real plus side of these Rooms for online is that players can visit your room.

after all what good is all the furnishings if you couldn't show them off? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

besides some groups like having meets and stuff away from the crowds so there rooms are pleasant sanctuarys to hang out. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

I'm sorry. I couldn't help but post that.

[Ryoten]

Maybe Sonic Team will let you collect plush dolls. Like an huge Sonic plush or other types of things. I wonder can you change some colors around your room.

[Kyuu]

From what I've seen in videos, there must be options to change the color scheme in your room. Download the Network of PSU video from the official site and you'll see what I mean. Perhaps different color schemes are yet another thing to spend your meseta on?

[Ryoten]

Now I see, but about the 'My room' thing, how many can you have? & also how many items can you put in your room & what kind? Like a plasma flat screen tv that you can watch for info about an quest or sales.

[Saner]

um only one room of course lol.

I believe all your characters share the same room but I think each character might have their own room.

but you can only use one character at a time so yeah lol you basically have one Room. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[Ryoten]

Thats good news. I thought I had to spend 4x the meseta on each room lol. Anyway about making items in your room, can you like change the name & color of the items you make, or will you be making items that you can find within the game?

[Saner]

I doubt you can change their name but there are different color weapons, and synthesis can involve deciding what color a weapon will be and stuff.

the same for Shield Line colors.

[Ryoten]

Now I really can't wait till the game comes out now. So does anyone wants to give some info on what their room might look like?

For me, I either plan on having a room in the space station or on the planet with the Japan-era going on. Have to have something to do with Sonic in it & some more stuff. I have to see more screen shots of items in the my room area.

[Saner]

hey you know that's an interesting dilemma. so far those rooms seem to be located at Guardian's Colony.

but I suppose we can still access them on any planet's city we are on, right? or I guess we have to return to Guardian's Colony to enter them, since if you notice the Rooms have a window and outside we see outerspace. we can't see that if we are on a actual planet's Room, right? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Saner]

you can see the actual dimensions/shpae of the rooms looking at these 3 screens.

they are different appearance-wise but shape wise the rooms are the same so this hints what our rooms are shaped like (which looks like a "U")

That rises another question for ST. lol.

[Lyrise]

You're quite right, except you're missing one thing - it only looks like a "U" for now. It'll look more like a "W" when you buy Shop Extension.

[Ryoten]

Yeah you're right. But what about the items in the room? Can you change where your bed ls & other stuff? To me, the layout of the rooms is changed with a different lighting effect.

the layout is the same, the colors just make them seem different.

it would be complicated to move the bed and stuff since that would mean the quality of the bed's polygons and details would not be a high quality if it was something you could modify. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

wow there is shop extension?

wow so I guess thats what those doors are for on the west and east of the rooms?

or I guess one door is for changing clothes and the other door is to exit the room.

[Ryoten]

I didn't even know there were shop extension. That why the rooms are so different, & it looks like you can add more stuff in your room than usual. Now I see.

[Uri]

I'm going to go all out. There will be water beds and lava lamps. Oh yeah, it's going to be pimp.

[Saner]

hmmmm maybe with enough furniture we can play hide and go seek. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

[Keyeszx]

i'd do that if i had money to pay online

[Saner]

um even offline the My Room feature is in the offline story and Extra mode too!!!!!

[Lunar-Wolf]

I will go as far as I can with it, customizing an in game room is a game onto its self if you have enough stuff.

[Keyeszx]

yay i can customize a room that no one will see a lot of fun that will be
i'll only be the one admiring it

well it's better than sleeping on a bench somewhere. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[linkzone]

for music i think id play that annoying song from the hampster dance website. 100% chance of someone killing their guy in my room to end the pain. lol. but for the ladys ill play something nice. mood music as it were.

[DraginHikari]

It's an intresting feature, something extra fun to toy with once everything gets going as many said alot of the clothing and equipment seems expensive enough well I don't see anyone carry max meseta around much anymore. XD

[Dahilia]

I'll probably spend the most of my money customizing my room.

[Ryoten]

First, I'll have to check out all the items the shops are selling & then customize my room little by little.

[Keyeszx]

ya it is better then a bench
and Lunar-Wolf i mean offline
i don't have enough money to play online

[linkzone]

what about offline? do you still get a room offline and what about buying stuff for it? can I download online for my offline room and what not? cause when Im not online Ill be playing the story line.

depends...

can you at least download stuff? cause what if they make a new lava lamp or something online, im gonna want it offline too ya know.

[Saner]

no you can't download stuff for use offline.


they completely isolated the offline from the online because they want to reduce any chances of hackers finding a way to give people a bad day online.

this is the same reason why you can't use a offline Extra mode created character online or vice versa, it's a necessary security measure while still providing those fun features online AND offline.

anyways those lava lamps you mentioned are 99.99% more than likely already in the game offline and online for purchase, since a beta tester did buy them for their Room, it's most likely one of the most common accessories for your Room.

[linkzone]

well i guess that safety is more necessary.

[Keyeszx]

it ok maybe they might sell disc for $50 with extras for it once they get more things for it

[Kyuu]

Erm, why not? Any new items that are released through a patch would be available both online and offline, unless Sonic Team made it drop only from enemies online and/or only purchasable from shops online. There is no security issue with giving offline mode access to any new items that are released, it doesn't open any opportunity for hackers to get into the online portion of the game. You download the data, it's now on your harddrive, the game reads the new data.

Of course, most new content for a long while will probably already be on the game disc itself, and will merely be "unlocked" (or so I and many others guess), which makes it even less of an issue.

[jkrox4eva]

well i agree with keyeszx... just like the halo 2 multiplayer maps pack. just make a disk with upgrades.... and there ya go. more fun in an instant.

[Keyeszx]

yay someone agreed with me finally

[linkzone]

i like the idea of an update disc, but im not paying 50 bucks. its like those darn sims games. paying 50 for an expansion, F that crap.

[Keyeszx]

ok i was being sarcastic about the 50 bucks they'll prob sell for 20 maybe 10 bucks if we're lucky but calm down it was a joke wit the 50 bucks everything else i said i ment

[linkzone]

sorry, but they do it with the sims so it didnt sound to far out for PSU to try to do it too.

[Moo2u]

Going in deph probably. Only if I can make my room totally pimpin'.

[Ferali]

It depends on if other people do it. I'm only really interested in being stylish in any game. So if it becomes a 'big thing', I'm in. I'm sure if I have spare time I'll tinker around. But looking back at FFXI (why do we always go back to FFXI?), I never was a furniture/mog house guy, so I'm not sure how it'll turn out.

Hey what about vehicles? Do they stay in your room or do you carry them around in like a capsul form?

I believe vehicles are not 'owned', they are simply available during specific missions/areas.

so don't worry, at least it doesn't look like we need to pay meseta to drive them. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

Yeah for real, youd think a civilation that mastered laser guns, light swords, and space travel would be above using fossel fuels. Youd think that.

For me, I'm going to have to go with equipment > looks > room. Obviously, I'll want to preform at my best. Then, I'll want to look my best. After that, I'll want to have a neat looking living space.
