first 30 days of psu jp are free

[Inazuma]

for those of you who are struggling to come up w/ a solution on paying for your guardians license, we will have 30 days of free netplay, so you can relax a bit.

even tho this has been known for a while, i figured we could all use a reminder.

[Tystys]

I didn't know that...although, I did pretty much see it coming XD

[-Shimarisu-]

Well order the game, meet me online and if you seem decent you can buy your netcash off me.

[Tystys]

Once I happen upon a fortune, I'll get right on that XD

[LightBreaker]

Really? That's great news. Do you have anything to back this up? Not that I dont believe you or anything. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

[Inazuma]

watch the 3 part interview w/ psu producer miyoshi takao san. he mentions it there.

[-Shimarisu-]

It's not just in that info it's written all over the advertisements.

This is a definite, guys.

So you have 30 days to find me online and I'll decide if I can help you out with net cash.

[Kyunji]

Problem is that this will probably be "free" in the same sense as Blue Burst, in that you'll get free time, but only after registering an account and giving a credit card number/Netcash code, and if you cancel before the month is up, you won't get billed/lose Netcash. So really, you'll probably have to already have Netcash in order to play, thus making the whole "30 days to prove yourself" thing void.

[Melian_PSUO]

WOW, great news. I never read anything about this in this forum untill...now (although i try to read all).

Exactly what I was thinking. Every online game I've played that gave the user 30 days free always wanted you to punch in credit card information (BB would deduct and re-deposit like 1 or 2 cents to check the validity of the account). So, I'm pretty sure it's not as easy as just signing up. They could surprise me, but I kinda doubt it.

[Pacpunk]

all MMORPG's have 30 days free lol

[Inazuma]

i agree, it should be just like psobb. you dont need to enter cc info or net cash to start. you can play for free until your time is up. at that point, they put the account on hold until you pay to continue.

psobb jp ver did things differently.

[Saner]

FF11 required the credit card thing even for the free 30 days.

but if this is about trying to play the JP version online through netcash, then ya you gotta make a choice. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I think the cc thing is for security so that ppl who play for 30 days free dont try using a different system or account or something to play another 30 days for free.

without credit card confirmation or up front payment for future subscriptions, I think people would find loopholes for playing every month without having to pay anything. and how could they keep track of who already spent their 30 days and who hasn't? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

[Arrow203]

I dunno, FFXI Did require you to have a CC even for the 30 day free trial, so i can see how it would be required now for it :/

[RSmiroldo]

yeah I would imagine it would be required but couldn't they track your IP to make sure you don't go past a month, but to me it only seems logical that a cc would be required at sign up

[Spellbinder]

Couldn't they just use some serial number from the case to track your account and determine whether your 30 days are up or not?

[Saner]

that's if they choose to use that.

actually if I remember, PSO v1 had a special code on the disc itself that didn't allow it to be used on any other system than the one you registered it with.

[Spellbinder]

Exactly, and since the game has to be purchased rather than downloaded like on DC and GC, putting a serial number on the inside cover wouldn't be hard to do just like then. That way, when the 30 days are up, gotta whip out your credit card / netcash.

[RSmiroldo]

sounds like a plan for me if I remember correctly didn't gamecube use that and you made some sort of password?

[Saner]

oh well if they require credit card thing for even the 30 day trial,
I would just buy a pre-paid credit card or something and pay for a year subscription anyway http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

if some of you just want the 30 day trial and have trouble getting a credit card,
maybe your parents can let you borrow theirs and before the 30 day trial is over you would cancel it so they don't get charged and you won't get in trouble. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

[Velocity_7]

30-day trial would require a serial number on the box and that is enough for SEGA to really figure out who's eligible or not.

If you have more than one serial number, not only may it not be acceptable, but you'd probably be spending a whole crapload of cash just for that sort of thing.

[Saner]

to get another serial number you would have to buy another copy.

[vitius137]

any chance of a free trial for the US release? (sorry if this has been mentioned before)

[Saner]

U.S. will have a 30 day free trial.

[Keyeszx]

[Eternal255]
