A brand new GM event was announced for the local PSU servers last night. Entitled The Great Gurhalian Cup, this is a time attack event which will pit 32 teams against each other in a race to see who can complete selected missions the fastest. Technically, 64 teams will be competing; 32 from the Xbox 360 servers and 32 from the PC/PS2 side. However, each side will be ranked separately.
Registration for the event currently is underway and will close once 32 teams have signed up for each server. If you are interested in joining, you can sign up your team at the official PSU message board. Before entering, please make sure that you've read and understood the event rules, as there are a few specific requirements that each team must meet. The initial round of the Great Gurhalian Cup is scheduled to begin December 1, with the finals being held on December 17. You can view the event's full schedule for all intermediate round dates at the official site. Best of luck to all entrants, and may the best team win!
It's no secret that content updates for Phantasy Star Universe have been few and far between over the past few months. The lack of regular updates has had a negative effect on the community, putting many people up in arms over the situation. But rest assured that the local game staff are listening and are doing what they can to help out. Clumsyorchid, one of the official PSU message board admins, has begun a thread to compile player feedback to see what content the fans are most interested in seeing next. After enough data is gathered, the plan is to send the information up the chain of command to see what can be done to hopefully improve the situation. We would like to encourage everyone to voice their opinion on this matter by posting your opinions in the linked thread.
