Those of You Playing on Vita with a US PSN Account

[Ryo]

Have any of you been banned? I'm thinking of tying my account to my US PSN. But I'm worried I may get banned for it. Thoughts?

[Z-0]

Considering you've already been on your Vita on your account, it's not going to work because you cannot unlink accounts as far as I know.

[Ryo]

See? That's what I thought. But here's the thing. I submitted a ticket that same day to sega asking them to unlink the accounts. They said no, but then this morning I got an email saying they did it.

[Z-0]

That's interesting. I assumed that they just wouldn't do it ever, but sees you got some good luck there. :P

Anyway, knowing that (and I don't think he's here), Shadow is still playing on his US PSN account and hasn't been banned, so you should be fine.

Ah, that's good to know! Yeah, it was strange. They shot me down pretty quickly and closed the ticket. So I was pretty shocked this morning - a month after the fact - to find an email stating they'd changed their minds.

It also quite literally says they are doing this this ONE time only.

I was wondering this exact same thing. What did you put in your original ticket to get the process going?

Is linking it to you US PSN a bad thing? The only thing im worried about when I get it is not being able to link my english copy

You're lucky.

Seems they gave you a pass this time around and let this one fly but I don't think they'd do it again or for anyone but who knows.

If english copy were going to be release its going to be totally on a different server and consider different linking as it will be handled by different maintainers(definitely not Sega JP).

So you're pretty sure that US PSO2 (if it even comes to Vita) will be able to link to a PSN account, even if that same PSN account is tied to JP PSO2?

Hm. That's fantastic if it turns out to be true.
