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.

This event would've been better if it had come at the proper time, before AOI came out. I understand they can't give us maximum attack because of the 10 people in EU still waiting for the game to actually come out there, but now we're going to be an additional month behind the JP version. Hopefully they at least raise the level cap, or 350% exp will be a total waste

Is the european version going to be on the same server as the US game?

Posted by: Knightsword Jan 4 2008, 09:49 PM

yes EU is on the same servers as NA, though they have yet to get AotI released.

I think the only person who actually plays the 360 version of PSU is AC. And if I remember correctly, he said he's gonna to go back to the PC version once he gets a new computer. And yeah, you have to have the original version in order to play AoTI on the 360.
My advice would be to get Halo 3 first before you get KUF. KUF is OK but Halo would be better in the long run.

Posted by: Crushinator Jan 22 2008, 02:51 PM

Yeah, get Halo 3. Big patch and some new maps in the near future too, and nothing can beat the epic campaign/co-op in Halo 3 either.

With the PC PSU you don't need to buy the software anyways, just buy a subscription and you're good.

KUF rocks too, though. It has its faults, but I enjoy it a lot as a mindless kinda chill-out-and-progress game.
