The file is smaller than the torrent one =T

[kyori]

Whee, so how do you go about doing this? Just dl that and you're good to go? I was too lazy to bother with PSOW's instruction, that mess of msgs

[donkeybeatz]

Well it IS an .exe file sooo... Just double click and install.
To type and such, you have to change your IME settings.

[Sheik]

Okay, I finally got mine downloaded...thanks to GetRight.

Here is some additional info that you might need also.
I did the signup this morning and it took a few minutes to register my username/password with SEGA.

First, download this file from:
http://dl.segaonline.jp/psobb/psobb_ver13_official.exe

This is the installation file.
The download is about 386MB and downloaded at about 6.00k/sec. Slow.

After you get the file you need to register a username.
Go to this web page:
https://ipas.isao.net/signup_pso/psobb/signup_index.htm

Click the button below...the accept button (the lower left button).
On the next page enter your email address two times...to confirm.

You will then receive an email in a few moments.
Open up the email and follow the link provided.

This next part is the fun one. Please see picture below:
(mmm...maximum upload size is 40 K...and my image is 77K in size! that bites..I have to resize the image. I hope it is still readable)
You MUST type Japanese these fields or it will not be accepted.

For a name you can make one up or simply use something like this below.
Copy and paste if you wish.
Use this for both the upper and lower name fields.
Name Last: ドウ
Name First: ジョン
(John Doe)

For the address and phone numbers feel free to type in some numbers there.
For the street/city address line it is a little more complex.
You can just type something like this:
東京都八王子市寺田町

Choose a user name between 6 and 8 characters long.
You can put the same name in for all 3 choices, but they must be filled out.
After this is done and your data is accepted you will get another email from SEGA with your password. Start BlueBurst and choose the second to last option. Enter your userID and password and you are set.

That's it. The rest of PSO you should know. The menus should not be too difficult.
Enjoy~ I will be playing with PSOBB later today.

This game plays just like the GameCube version...with a few differences.

I just finished off the forest and the dragon boss at level 5.

Kinda fun. Who else is playing this and where do we meet at usually?
Do we want to set a ship/block to meet at?

Patches, patches, patches.
Posted by Arislan @ PSOW:

After the maintenance today, there will be a new patch, bringing BB to 1.8.0

Patch changes, from STs site

- Alt+F4 is changed to Alt+Backspace
- Lobby commands have changed from ctrl+key to alt+key (great, so now alt+q screwup s will alt-tab us out...)
- A Dark Belra attacking with an arm shot and being killed at the same time could cause the computer to crash. This should be solved, but any bug reports should be forwarded to ST.
- Pressing the Back (Cancel) button while on the block select screen will now bring you back to the ship select. Pressing back from here will quit the game.
- Pressing back on the Transport menu from the Lobby Desk will now return you to the lobby. However, once ship or block transfer is chosen, cancellation is not possible.
- When viewing information on a party that has 3 or less members at the lobby screen, an indicator will be shown stating that the team is in a quest or when the team was created, as applicable.
- Forces now have their own completion prize weapons for clearing quests 1-3, 2-4, and 3-3.
- All Episode 2 quests may now be cleared by a single player (Episode 1 quests have already been changed to single player completion status)
- 1-1 Now has a timer for completion added to it.

Fixed errors
- Players viewing quest data while another player joins will now not crash out the player viewing the quest data.
- A freeze associated with entering an invalid character (non unicode supported) as a game password has been fixed.
- Speaking to Cal terminals in Episode 2 while the Team Log Window is displayed will no longer crash the client.
- A problem with recieving a message and keyboard operation being disabled has now been fixed.
- A problem with recieving a message and gamepad operation being disabled has now been fixed.

A couple of notes of my own:
It seems that Ah-King has left PSOBB as the RAGOL clan was no more when I logged on.
I made another team called "Apocalypse".

- When viewing information on a party that has 3 or less members at the lobby screen, an indicator will be shown stating that the team is in a quest or when the team was created, as applicable.
I checked this out and it was pretty nifty. =)

Sheik, there aren't many players (at least English speaking ones) playing PSOBB to begin with.
I'm always in Leo Block 3 (PSOW block) in the afternoons. Night time is reserved for GC

[donkeybeatz]

With the way things are going, PSOBB is slowly losing interest (at least for me... I guess playing with the keyboard only has taken its toll).
Anyway, I jumped on today and I was greeted with some more patches.
One of which caught my eye:


PSOBB has nProtect Game Guard!

You can now ignore this topic once again
Oh and I got my new computer by the way hehe.

[Crawurm]

I've seen nProtect before, but wasn't too sure what it protected against, anyone wanna clue me in?

Well, looks like the beta for this is over. It is also quite expensive to buy if you go to the web site to purchase the huner's license. It is either 1,050 yen (about $10.50) for 30 days with automatic credit card billing or 1,250 yen for 30 days without automatic renewal. Looks like I am sticking with the el cheapo GC version...it is only 1,500 yen (about $15.00) for 3 months.

I just got a email today about the trial for PSO BB being over...I think everyone that signed up for it will get this message. If you wish to buy a hunter's license you can at this address I believe. Use your exisiting GAME ID and PASSWORD.

Oh, and it will download a utility called "game protect." It must be something to prevent hacking on the game software and cheating. It installed it into PSO on the last update.

SUPER BUMP!!
Though no one here plays PSO BB, here's a bit of info that's worth mentioning:



New area eh? New enemy eh? New weapon eh?
New episode eh? There's some speculation that PSO BB occurs after episode III.
So some are calling it Episode IV. Even the image file is named "ep4.jpg".

Sauce page

Interesting no?

--d-_-b

[Dive]

Wow thats really cool, but what really caught my eye on that page was this...



A PSO Credit card? and whats that Soniti thing? I want!

[DarkEpyon]

Looks like a keychain. That weapon looks like some sort of gun.

[donkeybeatz]

Jesus H. Christ, they just keep releasing these kickass images:

If you ask me, these weapons look like the ones in the PSU Flash movie.
According to THE super PSO site, PSOW,
The sword is called, "Daisy Chain",
dagger is called "Daylight Scar",
and the gun is called "Le Onia".


New Dark monster, "Golan"


Oddly named, "Melissa-A" wtf?

The monster in my previous post is called "Astok".

And the new story (roughly) goes...
A meteorite approaches near planet Ragol according to the analysis of pioneer 2
But there is no danger of collision for both Ragol or Pioneer 2
However a strange light appears from Ragol hitting the meteorite, and changes its destination...to Ragol.
The impact causes a huge crater to be left on Ragol's surface.
And even now a strange light is coming from within that crater.
The impact crater on Ragol is now to be investigated to discover what caused the collision, and what that light is...

Man, I'm torn between this game and Monster Hunter...
