4 characters may be the reason for corruption.

[ValiusTrigger]

I remember very clearly that Every one who said they were currupt that they had 4 characters.

I swear by the .... by the .. Well I am telling the truth when I say I never got currputed until I made a fourth character.

It happened maybe 5 or 5 and a half hours after I made my fourth character.

But I had like 45 hour before that(I thought I only had 20 hrs btw but it was more), and I didn't currput NOT UNTIL I MADE THAT FOURTH CHARACTER!

Mods please don't move this topic...
I don't think it will get the attention it needs in the "rants" area.

[RuneScapeMan]

Man that's true...
At least that everyone who corrupted had 4 characters.
Let's just wait and see shall we =D.

Na sorry, your theory is wrong mate. It was when I was training my second character that I had had for a while i corrupted for NO reason what so ever, so scrap your idea mate.

[happyalloy]

The only time I corrupted was early on when I only had 2 chars on the card; now I have 3 cards each with 4 characters, and my fiancee has 2 cards each with 4 characters; and we've not corrupted since November *knocks on wood*

[Dhylec]

i have 3 mc's w/4 chars on each..
mc1: lv88, lv103, lv133, lv78 <- nothing yet
mc2: lv36, lv32, lv33, lv8 <- nothing yet
mc3: lv15, lv1, lv1, lv14 <- nothing yet
so u decide.. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[gallaugher]

I think that's just a coincidence. I'd guess most people already have 4 characters per memory card. I do.

[lordinviso]

Pure nonsense. There is no proof just bad luck.

[Mirian]

People say corruption offline is caused by using a Memory Card 251 for Gamcube, the black one. I should know, it happened to me on a 251.

[Lucas2k4]

I use one and I've never been corrupted.

[Yoda86]

Corruption doesn't happen in offline play unless you turn the power off while its saving. You might get a black screen that says an error occured, please consult the GC Manual. But that's not corruption, just an error that affects your characters in no way at all (except the one you are playing on when it happens, you lose everything since last save).

Fortunately this one does not happen too often, phew...

[s.TiNgEr]

big coincidence... i guess o_O

My cousin almost corrupted me once. She's like....6. And I had just hit Save & Quit and she ran over and turend the gamecube off. Luckily it hadn't started saving again, but I started over my character data a few days later anyway.

[XavierDreamknight]

o0 I use the 251 Mem card also and it hasn't corrupted me. Why would a 251 mem card have a better chance to corruption over the 59 mem card.

[Bit]

It's because it's not an official memory card, and can be unstable, and tend not to work properly. I've had problems with unofficial controllers, while my official nintendo controllers still work as good as they ever did.

Bit, the 251's from Nintendo.

The memory card 251 IS an official memory card. Look at the style of it, look at the packaging, it's OFFICIAL.

[xanoki]

Unofficial memory cards ( this may be UK only ) NEVER EVER work online. As soon as you step onto the lobby you disconnect and are told you have become corrupted, delete character file yes no?

This is because Nintendo and Sega want to make a point about 3rd party peripherals, like the most USB memory cards. So they don't work online.

[Bit]

Bah.

Nevermind.

Well, I was talking about the ones from companies such as Mad Catz. Those aren't offcial, aye?

The first two memory cards I had got corrupted and they both only had one character on them. So that again proves that your theory is wrong.

[DarkShinjaru]

I use a Pelican memory card, but offline only..so yeah, corruption-free =^-^=

[gallaugher]

I've heard the 251 uses a higher compression & that increases the chance for corruption.

However, I'd take that one with a grain of salt.

[Naagata_Clan]

Well, in personal experience corruption just happens. My first corruption occured when I just had 2 chars. My second corruption... was FSOD... so I got real mad at that one. But that's it. They both occured within a month with each other, and it's been a few months and nothing yet. I just think it's all dumb luck. And from what I've noticed, it also occurs if you constantly jump between teams and ships... at least that's how my FSOD happened....

[ValiusTrigger]

Well thanks for the input guy’s/beautiful girls (if there are any at all)
Some of you agreed with me and thought that was weird.(those were the cool people!)
Some lied and said they got corrupted with less then 4 character.(their entitled to their opinions, but that doesn’t mean I can’t make fun of them for it)
Some said that they have 4 characters and have never corrupted. (they probably don’t play online that much, use a BBA, or just are plan out lucky)

You mean just give up, and stop believing?!
Wow and I thought Sol Badguy was mean!
I really ment to say I think your odds are a lot high with the more Characters you have.

Has anyone corrupted with just one character?

How many hours of game play while on line?
I didn’t start playing on line until my character WAS lvl 108
