Hi guys,
I just happen to notice that a very large amount of players here actually are on and off PSU players like myself.
I come back every year to PSU for 1 month. Usually its from Mid DEC-JAN. I return to the pc/ps2 servers for 2 reasons.
I want to know if the community has gotten larger
I wanna see if SEGA made any major changes to make the game more enjoyable to my taste.
Since 2006 when I started in December Iv only played one month a year.
So Im wondering what would SEGA have to do to PSU for those of you who play like myself on and of 1 2 maybe 3 months of the year, What would SEGA have to do to this game for you to make this your main game, and for you to play every month of the year, and pay for the subscription all year long. If sega wants me to play every month of the year, and pay non stop they would have to do the following, in order of importance.
#1 Advertise- I can't help but feel demoralized every time I look at the server list with only 2 stars. That alone is more than half the reason why I don't play, I feel the games already on its last leg and I really don't wanna put any kind of effort into a game that's showing very little sign of life.
#2 Release a new expansion/Balance all the missions.- The reason the game is not to enjoyable to me is the fact you run one or two missions over and over again. It is very hard to find players willing to run many missions that are not the current "hot thing". I think SEGA should balance missions, Make 2-4 missions really good exp, but give each mission a incentive to do it, like one mission has +10% drop rate, while another mission is really fast to do so you can get exp faster, make the the 3rd mission drop more crafting based items while the forth mission drops more S rank weapons but less exp. Stuff like that, SEGA could do this to make it instead of a 1 or 2 mission game a 4 5 maybe even 6 mission game, some variety would really do this game good.
#3 Join JP & EN servers together- This could be possible if they did the above and released a new expansion. This would also solve the community issues at the same time. Im sure some JP players won't want to party with English players, as same the other way, but once both sides get used to the other it will all balance out and everyone will just pt with everyone, Same as it works in FFXI.
#4 Update the game, I know you can't add many things to the disc the way it is, and server side there is only so much you can do especially with the ps2 holding the game back, However there's no reason why they can't do a GM event every day, or a Mini Treasure hunter event maybe, an NPC that give you S rank boards in exchange for a Rare item, Stuff like that to add some spice to the games simplistic formula. Many free 2 play games do this, They add GM events, where players can win costumes, exclusive cosmetic items only available for GMs tru the event. And F2P games make it work out fine.
#5 Offer a download demo for the PC version, with advertisements the Demo or "Free tirial" on PC would be a great way to get new players, Even 2-5 weeks worth of advertising on mmorpg.com would probably bring at least 300 players to the PC/ps2 servers.
For SEGA to get my money the way Square Enix gets it, (every month of the year for the past 5 years) This is what SEGA would have to do,(I know it wont ever happen, its SEGA after all, but its just fun to think about.) So what about you guys what would SEGA have to do for them to keep you all year long playing PSU as your main game?
