LMAMOFLAFOFMLAMO !!!

D; I'll take a Durga, please.

[Spider]

Hmm.... Characters with giant advertisement mags....

I think PSO might be selling out maybe?

[Saiffy]

I'd probablly use it. :3

[Getintothegame]

If it's like a Dreamcast mag, I'd use it, since POW mags are incredibly easy to make with MARK3/GENESIS/MASTER SYSTEM/DREAMCAST mags.

[Nisshoku]

Now all hunters of PSO can be corperate bitches to Yahoo! http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

EDIT: I answered my own stupid question.

Here's some others. Surprise - they all kind of suck & are recycled from the Japanese Cup.

Thanks to the people over at the offical PSO:BB boards.

[Nisshoku]

Hm, I wonder what the 30 million and the 60 million prizes are.

[Fahlyndra]

Logic says drop rate increasers. We have geniuses on the case of finding the pictures (haha).

[Getintothegame]

I'll probably work on finding the URLs for the drop rates, but we've also got the mag cells, don't forget about them!

[MechGryphon]

Well, I've been experimenting with droprate URLs, couldn't find anything. =/

The mag cells are a good idea, but I doubt we'd get the new ones before JP, and the others will most likely be holiday drops.

I may use this mag depending on its initial stats and feeding chart.

Like, start level 0 or 5, feeding chart capable of 200 or 195 stat mag = good.

Something like 50/50/50/50 = bad. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

And it's not like ST is being more of a "sellout" than before... they've been having magazine references and such for a good while now <_< It's nothing new, just seems like it because it's from companies you know of more.

[Hrith]

oh my god, I thought it was a joke, but no, it's on the official site, gosh, that thing is almost as ugly as the char wearing it.

[Tycho]

XD That's hilarious, I would never have expected the mag. All the other prizes were kinda easy to guess. Now the mag had better cast invulnerability on all occassions and have a probability rate of 60+% of doing so... >_>;

[Deissa]

You have your pieces of crap, then you have your pieces of crap.... >_>

And to think, people joked about things like this

[Mewn]

I just find it funny that we got 10 million kills so we can advertise Yahoo some more.

Urgh, it is so ugly though. No chance of me wearing the damn thing.

[Getintothegame]

Looks like I'll be the only fool to use it. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[back2pso]

ill be with u get-game XD

[Dana]

i'd be honored to have such a cool mag http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[BahnKnakyu]

Get: OMG can't wait, they're gonna reveal teh 10 million kills prize!

*10 mil kills shows up*

Get: ...

Get: ...

Get: HAHAHAHA ROFLMAO

[Fossil]

If it can easily get high mind, then I'll be using it, too. >_>

http://69.93.183.37/html/emoticons/huh.gif

Meh, I'd wear just for the funny looks I'd get. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Sitka]

The Ultimate NOOB mag.

No way in hell I'm putting that thing on my Hucast. The Rati stays, the PSO-PSO is trade bait.

Get, I'll trade four of those for your Ruby Bullet.

[Rubius-sama]

Why are you guys posting the secret prizes for 20+ mil? We haven't reached that far yet, and it is Sonic Team's intention that it should remain secret until it is unlocked. This is so hypocritical. You guys speak of not discussing cheating or even how to get online with Dreamcast...yet you go ahead and share the info some people digged out of psobb.com's archives that they weren't meant to hae any access to. Great job.

[Tycho]

Rubius, I don't believe getting this information is a violation of the ToS.
Anyway, I hope that mag doesn't really make the user look like some afro HUmar. <_>

[Sizzors]

Knowing ST, it ain't gonna do squat. YOu guys got the bad end of the bargain, I wouldn't be suprised if on September 19, your mag disappears and THAT thing replaces it. Though there would be a lot of angry letters....

In not going too far off topic, basically, there's a difference between information that can be used for something harmful and information that is information.

Figuring out the prizes and posting them, or posting pictures of things like a Dark Bridge, is a far cry from harmful hacks and privately run servers. In either case, if you want to continue on the path of that particular discussion, probably best to take it elsewhere.

Also, unless ST states not to post them and such (I'm sure someone on the BB forums has mentioned it), then we'll figure out what to do from there. If you see something from ST stating as such, please share.

Unless you unequip your mag ;o
Nah, chances are it'll just be added to your empty item slot like all the other item based prizes.

This is why we believe in the drop rate multipliers. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

See, the Japanese could actually pull that many kills off, due to PSO's popularity over there. Never the less, I'm fairly sure that is our equivelant to 30/60 million.

[kazuma56]

so let me get this straight...at the end of the cup Every account gets these rares regardless if they participated or not? and does that mean u have to be on that day at a certain time or does it just get put in your inventory till u log on?

[Feelmirath]

In order:
1: no idea, but you did a run with me and Mal so that would count as participating.

2: It gets put in your inventory, as long as you leave a space for it.

[anwserman]

I read on the PSO:BB forums that this mag is special in allowing us to hit level 300.

True, or not?

[Getintothegame]

Rumors have been flying all over the PSOBB boards, most which are BS.

I'd seriously take anything they say is a fact with a grain of salt.

ROFL. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif
I find that too amusing.

Heh.
Don't worry, I could explain many various things I've done that made me feel really stupid.

This year I discovered why in the Jingle Bells ripoff, why "Robin laid the egg." http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

(For those who didn't get that, Robin is Batman's partner and also a bird that happens to lay eggs. http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif)

It is probably a rumor anyway.

[TeamRadish]

I think it looks cool...the Y is small enough not to really notice it, plus I love "double" mags. Besides, you can barely see the Y on it unless you're closeup

[Feelmirath]

Whilst you might not see the y, you would probably see "Yahoo!" on the banner http://pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif
