Who is waiting for the US version? Anyone worried?

I'd rather have stable, reliable service from SoA than exclusive content. Pretty sure just good service alone would have it sell, but people are skeptical. With good reason.

I'm beginning to suspect this is why it's impossible to find any email or contact details for SoA/E

-they know we'd break the inbox given an hour.

LMAO.. And you believe that ? This is the same guy who said we'll have Universal servers..Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids..

Uh...we were promised "global support" which many people hoped meant universal servers. We were were never promised universal servers though.

I remember them saying that oh well it's w/e.. SOA is still a bad company.. Pso/psu is testimony to that.

Have got a gut feeling that the next update on the PSOW homepage will be the release date for the US/EU version.. Fingers crossed.

you forgot PSO xbox, PSO game cube, PSZ, PSP1, PSP2 and PSOBB. All of them were lacking in content and support compared to the Japanese versions

Qué?

No, it'll be a review of the latest PSO2/JP update... or an announcement for their next update... They'll probably be planning Valentines day soon.

Which, if there are any Sega executives lurking (one can hope) would be an acceptable marketing campaign: "Released F2P To show our love for you this valentines day"

A better one would be "Surprise! We got it all ready and released. Go download now~"

Releasing PSO2 in the west without any sort of public testing would be a really bad idea from SoA.
Even after several tests, character creation had to be locked in almost every ship due to too many players when the JP version was launched, plus the connection was really laggy during peak times.
If they didn't do any public tests though, the PSO2 JP launch could have been much worse.

Wow, you guys are pessimistic!

I think the game will do well. It's going to make a lot of money which = more employees = more support.

Fans of MMOs don't have anything to play right now, so it's a good time for PSO2 to be released. People will flock to it.

I definitely don't have complete faith what with PSU and all that, but the situation isn't hopeless

I am waiting for the western version because I couldn't understand a lot in the JP ver, even with the english patch. it felt like I was only understanding bits and pieces of the game, and I didn't like that feeling

Well, we have good reasons to be pessimistic, and SoA being completely silent about PSO2 for 4 months doesn't make me want to trust them.
