Actually, to heck with this. US players should *not* have to buy a USB memory card just to play all of the download quests. This Game Informer situation just finally pushed the line too far for me, not to mention another JP-only quest has been announced for the Dremaga magazine card.

I'm sick of this. Leaving for FFXI ASAP, though at least the community here and on TA was great. That may be the only part that I will truly miss about this game but the poor service from ST all of these years for US players has finally pushed me too far.

That and I can get the complete FFXI package (game + HDD + ethernet adapter) for $65. >_>

If you're gonna quit because of their bad service, you shoulda done that a long time ago.
I got screwed over plenty of times:
The v1.0 situation.
Having to buy the US version so I can play with you guys.
Getting charged twice for HL multiple times.
Importing PSO Ep.III only to find out it was all in Japanese.
Getting banned for bringing an S-Rank online.
Got corrupted (Only once, which is entirely my fault really)

Then you have the double save situation, hacking, illegal items, FSOD, and whatnot.
Even after all that, you don't see me complaining. Even if I couldn't download those quests, those magazines aren't that great anyway. I'd be happy with the Cipher & Richie cards =)
To me, the good things outweigh the bad.
But if FFXI is your thing, then you go ahead and get your game on.
And $65 for the whole package? I'd play FFXI too.

yeah, it does kinda suck, but what about poor Europe and Australia? Hell, I don't think they have even gotten the game released yet.
Since the game orignates in Japan, it does make sense that they would get everything first.
Although, it would be nice if Sega Team had a few workers in the States to do some translating work simultaniously.

btw - Castoth, the complete FFXI package for $65? Holy great deal, batman! That's a huge savings!!

Yeah, I know someone that works at a Gamestop that can get FFXI + the HDD for $65. He also has an extra ethernet adapter and USB keyboard (I think) laying around so those would be free as well. It is a pretty great deal. beigebigrazz.gif

Well, after thinking about it some more, realized that the JP-only quests were just one factor in me wanting to leave. The FFXI deal has already been mentioned as a reason but another more compelling one is that the US ships seem to be turning into ghost ships lately. I actually went online on Thursday and there was *no one* in the lobbies of Antares 8 and Deneb 9. Vega is basically Hayato land and other jackasses' playground so I avoid going there at all cost. This is one game where playing by yourself constantly just grows incredibly boring. Heck, the times I've been online lately I've barely seen anyone on Antares 5 or other stomping grounds lately either. hangsmiley.gif

ARGH, why does it feel like I am going to stay on PSO regardless of what I've said so far? Only thing that might keep me around is the community still. Bah, how come there still have to at least be a few cool players online still. >_<

Makes decision making hard. cry2.gif

Good point. Speaking of which, able to come online again yet? beigebigrazz.gif

I'm trying to work out coming online in the evenings/early late night hours now since my class schedule has drastically changed everything.

I'll be jumping on ep3 shortly, so that means you'll have someone else to game against.

Bah, I'm only offline CLevel 52 at the moment. Still, we should have similar decks in terms of power now and would be interesting to clash. pirate.gif

I would've mailed you Skorp but figured you were angry at me and Kyori still from earlier...
