I know lots of crap is happening at the moment, what with delays, importing problems, and Guardian Licenses availiblities...

But think about it, a major reason behind some of these problems is the fact that so many people have ordered copies, too many people want it quicker, and servers are getting full...

This means that there are A LOT of people wanting to get in on the PSU action, which means there is gonna be a big community to start things which is gonna grow very quickly before, during and after christmas.

So if you are one of the many people that is annoyed or even angry about the mess ups that are happening, just think that in the end, you will have your copy of PSU and be able to play it online. And the community is going to be flurishing!;)

So if your down, cheer up! You'll get there in the end! Let's all try and find some good points to talk about! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

I'm taking this time to get alot of school work out of the way so when I do get PSU, I can just sit there and play it with no worries about assignments and stuff. My first time playing a game will always be addictive and I won't want to stop. So it's best to get the work out of the way now while I can't play it.

I don't see how you will have a ruined economy. There is no Auction House in PSU, stocks in the stores are unlimited and you need a board to make a synth. You also can't camp for rares. If you want a special item, just kill as many mobs that can drop it and you'll get it. Also, the prices of each items in the shop will stay the same price even if 10,000 people buy it.

There is no real way to control the economy unless you hack!

But yeah, I agree with the OP. Cheers, people. PSU is out!

Thrash777
Oct 24, 2006, 07:20 PM
The only thing that will have an affect on economy is the My Room shops... meseta needs to dissappear into NPC's in order not to have a massive increase in meseta, as you get it out of thin air from completing missions and drops from enemies... you didn't pay or trade to get that type of meseta...

But the way things seem to be quite expensive in the shops seems that it will be ok... but sooner or later, everyone will set up a shop and someone, somewhere will be selling the item you want, and instead of your meseta going away (into the NPC's, disappearing), it's going to another player, thus mesta increases increases increases!

Souppy
Oct 24, 2006, 07:26 PM
Yes, but you will have to trade Rares for mesetas and I think that people won't do that. They will go the old way... Trade: Rare vs Rare... Shops will be good to sell items cheaper than the shops and to sold them higher than what you would get in a shop.

Mesetas don't have the same power than Gils in FFXI... people trade items and rares in Phantasy Star, not money... maybe it's all gonna change in PSU but I truly doubt it.

EDIT: And btw, you don't ''need'' to have the best equips to get a party in PSU but you do need to have good armor in FFXI.

As an aside, camping NMs didn't kill FF XI's economy.

RMTing did. When people buy currency online, they spend it frivolously as a general rule and will pay stupid prices for items. Look at Lineage II. Same deal. If RMT gets a grasp on a game, RMT buyers basically set the market based on real world dollars, not in-game currency. It's all about how much the average RMT buyer is willing to pay for the gil / plat / gold / meseta to buy it, not how much it's "worth" in the context of the game.

PSU is just as at-risk as any other MOG or MMOG. Even Diablo II was huge in the business for a while, though that was mostly before a lot of the RMT business got "outsourced" from the US to other countries and became a huge, shady, parasitic business. I wouldn't be surprised to see PSU on IGE.com's list of games soon if junk like RF Online is already there.

The bright side in PSU is that no one can ever prevent you from going out and killing what drops what you want.

Yeah, I always thought RMT was a bit stupid to begin with. And a bit sad if someone is willing to spend money to get fake money on a game... but I guess if someone loves it that much...

I once knew someone who participating in RMT on a private server spending over $250 and only to have the server be shut down 2 weeks later. He still beats himself up over that today.

I'm really not sad or angry at the delays of PSU. I played like an animal on the beta and I know what to expect, so I couldn't careless if took 2 more weeks to come out. Even still, most of you will have your copy before I do. With GameFly, the shipping takes 3-4 days to get to you and they don't get the game itself until the 26th for 360. Also, due to financial issues I'll have to wait until the beginning of November to start playing online, but it'll probably be around the November 3rd when I finally receive the game.

At this rate I'm going to finish downloading the patch before I can actually get into the billing... that's really sad, LOL!

I can't wait to get in. I think I'm going to be a Human Force and later a Wartecher. I decided on a Human after seeing their other outfits (I think the original ones with the sneakers and baggy shorts are just lame, in terms of adventuring anyway... that's like the outfit you wear when you get sucked into another world BEFORE you meet someone to give you cool gear. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif).

Until then I will playing Sims 2 Pets, or more specifically, the OFB expansion since I never used that until the other day and found it to be quite addicting selling stuff on my residential lot and ordering people around. I pretty much locked all of my other family upstairs except for the business owner because ALL of my sims were constantly gathered around the bar and upsetting customers. It was very unnerving.

Hmm, can't think of anything else to get my mind off the jammed servers right now. Already got my PS2 controller connected to my PC and configured for as close to the 360 as I can recall, hopefully that will feel alright, as I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I saw how much 360 controllers with a cord cost. What's up with the market now? 360 controllers for $40, and Wii controllers for, what was it, $50-$70 with the attachment? What happened to the good old days of the original Nintendo and SNES when the system came with two controllers? Man oh man. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif
