The Maximum Attack event from Phantasy Star Online and Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst is back and will be coming to the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system, PC, and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system servers on April 25! In order to participate in this event, you must have the Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus expansion.

Data uncovered on the mystery planet Rykros is encrypted within a battle simulation of unknown origin. The GUARDIANS have been tasked to enter the virtual world contained in this ancient artifact to combat swarms of creatures and unlock the data. The forest, caves, and mine stages from PSO are back, and you might just run into some familiar heroes.

We will be keeping track of the total number of creatures each GUARDIAN helps defeat, and limited prizes can be acquired through luck, speed, or perseverance. Everyone will have to work together to reach the 100 million creature goal, and other rewards for all participating players will be unlocked throughout the event.

Winter Event
To give thanks to our players at this time of winter festivity we would like to announce that starting on January 11th there will be special limited time event missions for Phantasy Star Universe. The "Winter Event" missions are found at the GUARDIANS Headquarters on the GUARDIANS Colony Clyez City 5th Floor.

Event Mission Bonuses:

Item Drop rate is increased to 250%!

Experience is boosted as you go and reaches 350% at maximum!

Rare enemy encounter rate is much increased!

Number of Boss containers are doubled!

The Ambition of the Illuminus expansion is not required for these missions, all PSU users can play!

In addition to make up for the inconvenience of the December 15th server rollback we will have Super Holy Light weeks for all races from Jan. 11 2008 to Feb. 1 2008.

Additional content updates for 1/11 and more details for the event schedule will be announced next week.
