segalink is down, so whatre you doing?

[delguldano]

so it looks like the segalink site is down, which means i cant play either the single player or multiplayer portions of the game http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

anyone else having this problem? whatre you doing to pass the time?

[-Shimarisu-]

SO ANGRY

[-Shimarisu-]

it ain't the fact it's down moreso the fact that some people are on, in fact one heck of a lot are on and ARGH. So the servers ain't down just that fucking site! It's so unfair.

[Ether]

HIDE YOUR KEYBOARDS!

[delguldano]

yeah its pretty frustrating, but i guess this type of thing happens whenever a popular online game comes out. oh well, maybe i should do some homework?

[Guntz348]

I can't even register my copy of PSU *tear* It sucks I've had the game all day and don't get to play it. Well there is always Southern Comfort and Law & Order in high def to keep me busy. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[delguldano]

ah yes, nikka whiskey and ginger ale sounds like a good option, and then whatever crazy nonsense is on japanese tv.

pfff, You're online already. I would play offline before online, but then again, who am I!!!

And for the PS3 slogan, wtf is that!

[Melian_PSUO]

There is a new message on sega link, anyone can translate?

http://img7.picsplace.to/img7/25/segalink.jpg

[-Shimarisu-]

It means segalink has changed, to all this goddamn bullshit you weren't familiar with, which made logging in 1000 times more confusing and now, impossible seeing as you can't get in AT ALL.

[uhawww]

Dangit.
IMy game just got here, and now I can't register my key >:(

[Nekomimi]

It says 'Dear America, please stop flooding out site as it is almost the same effect as a DDoS attack and our loyal Japanese customers are unable to register'.





Not really.

[watashiwa]

Pretty sure it's mostly Japanese people flooding them and not Americans.

I hope you guys get on soon, though.

Just found my first rare item, I think? http://www.vengefulsoda.com/rare_item_maybe.jpg

[delguldano]

eh so basically they divided the sega link Id into several different services, because it was growing so large so rapidly, as if they didnt anticipate it, what with the release of a new, highely advertised mmorpg and whatnot.

anyways, once you get to the point where you can register for a sega link ID that is compatible with PSU, the only game in their "online game" section besides PSOBB, the page breaks again.

man, i skipped class and stood in line for an hour only to stand in line for another 13 hours. oh well...maybe when i wake up everything will be fine. guess i better go buy some ciggarrettes,

The U.S version doesnt come out for another 2 months. People that are waiting ( and im willing to bet on this) For the U.S version would probably kill for any copy of PSU. Am i Right? I know I would.

Hopefully I can sneak in during JP AM hours and get registered.
My vacation time doesn't kick in until the upcoming Tuesday, so I'm assuming they'll have this straightened out by then.

[Nekomimi]

If anything, you all should be happy that the site is buckling. It's an indication that the game is doing very well.

haha yeah I suppose... I'd certainly enjoy the game more if I was playing it.

Why would you say that? It doesnt make sense. The site is down cus the game is doing good? The games has only been out for a day and no one can register. To me thats not good. Of course you got your few lucky ones that were able to register befor the site closed down. It just doesnt look good for a MMO launch.

[delguldano]

yeah, well i plan on drinking whsikey and coffee and smoking until i can log in. damnit im going to get my 6200 yens worth.

[Nekomimi]

The site is buckling because so many hundreds or thousands of people are requesting pages at once that it's basically a DDoS attack on the site. Inadvertently, of course, but that's the effect it's having. So yes, it's an indication that the game is selling massively, the same as WoW did. And as for not looking good for an MMO, find me one POPULAR MMO that didn't have severe problems the first day.

http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif Maybe I'm just less sympathetic because I have the PS2 version and I'm not playing online anyway, so it doesn't matter to me.

PSO ver 1&2 PSO ep 1&2 PSOBB. I logged on just fine with all of those the first day they came out.

[delguldano]

i dunno, i played WoW, Guild Wars, FF XI on the first day, and at least i had the satisfaction of creating my characters within 15 hours of the release date. with this, i cant even login to any part of the single player game whatsoever, since im on PC. so of course, any hope of online play is completely hopeless http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

more whiskey and coffee.

[delguldano]

we should all just import the naruto RPG.....i think that was just a joke.

[Nekomimi]

I dunno about you but it took me like a week to get any kind of stability in WoW, and even then it was only possible because I retreated to one of the less populated RP only servers (where I never actually saw anyone RP). Guild Wars had some problems although they weren't as pronounced. FFXI I can't speak for since I have avoided that game like it carries ghonnahepasyphilitis. (omg not a real disease, but a joke).

[Nekomimi]

PSO doesn't even begin to approach the popularity of the bigger MMOs. And if you're seriously trying to tell me that PSOBB didn't have problems, then you obviously didn't play it. I was there. I remember the day EpIV opened and I couldn't pick up that shiny v101 I found.

[Zeota]

The first WEEK of WoW was crazy. It got so bad that blizzard wound up giving people that registered within the first few days another free month.

And to the one that said I wouldn't put mine on ebay, watch me.

[Nekomimi]

If you were serious about ebaying it, I'd buy it, except by the time your auction is over I'll be in Okinawa. XD

[Zeota]

Ooooh Okinawa. I used to live there until like 1997. Of course if I were still there, I'd probably be kickin it online right now.

[delguldano]

yeah ff xi definitely has some form of ghonnahepasyphilitis. avoid it like the plague, smart man.

as for me, im in tokyo, and i cant kick like wickett no matter how hard i try.

I second that

[Zeota]

I know how good this game is. I was in the closed beta back in April.

[delguldano]

seconded. thirded?

[Parn]

Like I mentioned before in other threads, I've never seen a mainstream online RPG have a smooth launch, ever. Not World of Warcraft, not Final Fantasy XI, and Phantasy Star Universe is no exception. We'll just have to wait it out. That's just the way it goes.

Final Fantasy XI when it debuted in Japan was plagued with problems for a straight month. Any individuals who act like PSU has the worst online RPG launch in history apparently weren't around to see Square struggling to straighten things out in Japan like tons of useless registration codes (http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2002/1468.html), people being charged money when trying to register even though the process failed (http://www.rpgfan.com/news/2002/1454.html), and so on. They also weren't paying attention when Anarchy Online made its debut (http://www.somethingawful.com/index.php?a=216). And don't get me started on World of Warcraft's laggy zones and server queues just to login to a realm (http://www.leagueofpirates.com/sirvival/queuedance.html) when it launched.

Sega probably underestimated the amount of people that want to play this game. Things'll resolve in time, just relax and do something else. I want to play just as much as anyone else, but... eh. This really is par for the course.

The worst part is that once registration goes back up, and everyone floods online, the game servers will go down

Yeah, ok. I'm sure the majority of North America is just itching for a game they can't even understand, and that hasn't been advertised.

If the site is back logged, it means it's doing well. Be happy. And if you stop trying to connect for a while, you'll let someone else through. Every person that gets through is one less person adding congestion to the site.

Patience is a virtue.

Yeah, pretty much. I'm debating just going out tonight and trying to play the game tomorrow.

(Yeah right, who am I kidding.)

[watashiwa]

You guys really need to just wait until the Japanese are going to bed.. or late at night.. like try again between 2pm-4pm EST.. (11am-1pm PST)

I think that's the best time for you to sign up under the congestion.

[daddy_zach]

Well i can say im glad im gettin the U.S PS2 version. Cus now i dont have to site here and be pissed at a game i have sitting in front of me that i cant even play. All of these problems should be resolved by U.S launch.........Right? lol

[delguldano]

maybe the lesson is, never buy an mmo the first week it comes out?

doubt it xP
With PSOBB Sega America wasnt expecing many people, and their servers were set to only handle like 40 people at a time including their message boards. then PSOBB came and hunderds of people registered and slowed the boards down to a crawl, and then eventually they crashed. Though the billing site was through Europe, and I dont remember it crashing, but everything to do with Sega America was down, they were the community site for PSOBB and will be with PSU too...

Lets just hope they have enough bandwidth this time for the community site x3

[delguldano]

when do the japanese go to bed? its already 2:15 am here.

[daddy_zach]

I just dont like getting the game later. When you log on for the first time and the game has been out for a while I feel like i have missed something (the first week of play which separated the noobs from the skilled lol jk). It also makes it feel like i have catching up to do and i just end up rushing through the game while missing abunch of sweet stuff Just to catch up.

imho, 2am is still kind of early because the game was only just released and I'm sure they've been waiting awhile.. I'd be up playing it as long as I could too, if I were them. Heck, I'd be playing it right now if I wasn't at work. ;( ('son when I get home, though.)

I'd just try again in an hour or two..

[delguldano]

i know in america it hasnt been vey heavily advertised, but in japan i felt like every corner i turned was met with a giant PSU billboard, showing ethan battling some mena looking hucast

[Saner]

hmm one would think they would have been prepared for a surprise amount of players.

[delguldano]

one would think, one would think...

[ricodead]

Sorry to hear a lot of you guys can't get online.

My copy of the game seems to be stuck in transit no updates on EMS speedpost or parcelpost websites, probably taking longer due to the terrorist plots (I'm from UK)


One thing tho, it just shows you they can mess up where Japan is concerned too.

News flash for ya.. If you're using the PC version, you'll need to have already put in your registration key to play either story OR network mode.

[RSmiroldo]

I managed to register now I'm just curious on how to get to the network mode can anyone help me out.

[Melian_PSUO]

I just registered, but can't go online, I just can play the story mode ,the network mode is in grey. I need to do something on the sega link account in oreder to play online?

[Nekomimi]

Well if you're just starting the game it's the second option from the top on the main menu, assuming it looks the same as it does on PS2.

[Melian_PSUO]

I know, but look

http://img8.picsplace.to/img8/20/Sans-titre-1.jpg

I have not access to the network mode, it's in black :/

[Nekomimi]

I think the black one might be Extra Mode. You know the easiest way to tell is to just try each option...

Other than that it says which mode it is in English in the top left corner...

[ORM-D]

Hurry guys lol i wanna see some rares and stuff.lol

[Melian_PSUO]

The black one is the network mode, it is certain...

[Nekomimi]

Sorry, no clue then.

[kilometers]

When you double click the icon on your desktop to start the game select the second option from the list of stuff that comes up. The game will boot up and you'll be able to select network mode and not story mode.

[Jinto117]

I am so jealous of you guys. . . .

EDIT: So you're right, but it still can't be accessed that way.

Network mode is accessed from the second option of the LAUNCH menu. (First option is Offline Mode, second is Online mode, third is Website, fourth is Config, fifth is Credits, sixth is Exit.)

When you select Offline mode, the next menu is Story Mode, Network Mode (although you can't use it from here), Quit.

When you select Online mode, the first option I guess is Story Mode (which can't be accessed from here), but the second checks for patches and then logs you on, the third option quits the game.

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: watashiwa on 2006-08-31 13:57 ]</font>

[Fleece]

Can you play the pc version single player Without registering?

[kilometers]

Nope. You need to login with a segalink account in order to play the storymode. Your saved games are kept on the servers so you could access them somewhere else.

What's funny is how you're wrong. That's Extra mode.



It says Network Mode in katakana.

[Melian_PSUO]

watashiwa is right, ty for the info ^_^

[Zodd]

When you launch the game from CD you have to click on network mode. It's the second one down from the top. In the game the story mode option should appear black when you click on the right one.
