As we enter our last week of the Maximum Attack G event, you still have time to get a huge xp boost, so make haste and join the festivities.

Actually, the event has been extended an additional two weeks due to many people getting "Error 065." This gives everyone more of a chance to get badges, EXP, and to get on the new leaderboard on May 22nd.

The mission "Maximum Attack G" (MAG) will stick around after the event is over; however, none of the bonuses will be applied. Also, badges will not drop from enemies/boxes.

MAG is like MA in PSO: You go through each level (Forest, Caves, Mines) and kill as many enemies as you can. (Ruins still has yet to be unlocked, but it will be eventually.) There is only one boss at the end (Dark Falz) which has yet to be unlocked at the moment. Sadly, there are no Forest "one" and Forest "two" missions, nor are the original monsters used (save for Forest, which use the PSU counterparts.)

If you are on the PS2/PC server, Uni2 has 4 stars at peak times; if you're on the 360, I believe Uni 1-3 are full at peak times (I may be wrong about this, since I'm on PC.)

I'd recommend coming back and trying it out if you are considering returning.

Well, the servers are still up. The expansion has really improved the game, and the event this Friday (4/25) should help to attract new people to the servers.

I'd say try it out for the PC for a couple of reasons:

1. Out of the three systems, the PC has the least amount of lag and loads the quickest.

2. The PC/PS2 servers are not as large as the 360 community, but from what I hear and have experienced, they are much friendlier. If you need help getting started, they'll lend you a hand. If not, well, let me know and I can. :P

I started playing for PC for a little right when it was released and stopped but now thinking about coming back.

1. Has the expansion been worth and the game grown a lot since early release. I quit a little after moatoob came out, not because i didnt enjoy it mostly cause of school work.

 

2. I have a character i wanna continue on my PC account but i hear hacking is pretty bad, are these claims true? Should i play on 360. Are the 360 servers a lot smaller then the pc/ps2 servers because i'm a fan of bigger more populated servers then smaller ones.

 

Thanks :)

 

1. The game has so much more to offer now with the expansion. More missions with increased drop rates have been added, so you don't have to spend months trying to find that weapon you want. New job classes add variety to the game, with more to come in the future. There are 4 new weapon types in the expansion: Slicers, Whips, and 2 types of "mags" (one type fires lasers on its own, and the other lets you use technics faster than a wand.) Choose job classes according to your style of play and weapon preference.
In addition to these, there have also been improvements to the game. Now, you don't have to run through those boring missions to get to the one you want; you can automatically teleport to your destination via the CAST lady next to the Flyer Bases. A new system allows you to search player shops by item, rarity of item, cost, etc. Type in an item's name, and a list pops up with all of those items and their prices, with the cheapest right on top.

On top of this, there is an event coming out this Friday (4/25) called "Maximum Attack G," which features all of the PSO maps, clothes, and weapons! The population will receive a substantial boost; all of the players who have taken a break will be back for the event, so now is the perfect time to pick up your copy!

2. Where did you hear about the hacking? There was a small incident around New Year's on the PS2/PC side, but the hackers have been banned and the items have been returned to the players. Since then, the server has not had any problems with hacking.

The 360 server is more populated than the PS2/PC servers, but from what I hear and have experienced, the latter has friendlier people than the former. (I'm on PC, so if you decide to return, I can help you get started.)

All in all, I'd say go for it. There is so much more content now than there was at the time of release. The event will cause a population boost, so now is the perfect time to return.
