The dreamcast game was so marvellous (yes I just said marvellous) I used to create characters and try to make them into a super saiyan sephiroth...

There will be a stress test coming soon they labeled it Pre-Open beta. You can find more on it over on Phantasy Star Fan Blog, including guide how to sign up, if you do not have a Sega ID. In case you already have a Sega ID, just log on and register your interest.
In any case, to log in to your sega ID, you need to go through captcha system using katakana. An online virtual keyboard is one solution, but in long term you might want to learn how to type with your own keyboard.

Pre-open beta is this weekend, the client is downloadable now.
You can find more information over on Phantasy Star Fan Blog

omgggggggg To play Tera online this weekend or play PS02... HMMMMMMMM
Man they better bring it over to the english side... And hopefully not years after the japanese release..

They're releasing Phantasy Star 0 2?!

TYTYTYTY!!! I've been waiting so very long for this :bow:

Im pretty sure i typed O not zero... or mayb i did... lol

Haha that was kind of fun. It does play a bit like the original PSO. Think tomorrow is another stress test, at the same time.

uh... is there anyone here having trouble logging in the game right now?

The pre-open beta servers are only up during certain times
The next and last pre-open beta session is in about 1h time, and lasts for 5h today.

Open beta starts on the 21st of june!

Sorry people it was my mistake it start actually in a few (five) days time.

Do we get to transfer our characters over there?

Not too sure. I read the the characters form the close beta are transferable to the open beta and final release, but not certain about characters from this stress test. The character model itself shouldn't be a problem, Items and stats not sure.

Sorry peeps I put in the wrong month in one of my previous posts. Open beta starts in five days time, so the 21st of june, not july, as I wrongly posted.
Hope to see you guys happily hunting rappies and for loot.
If people are interested maybe we can set up a fixed meeting area on one of the ships.

Open beta is live !
But you can only have one character, at a time, and play on one ship, so be warned. I am on ship 10.

Was pretty excited to check out the Open Beta since I missed the Pre-Beta(was over by the time I finish updating). Been a fan since I played PSO on the Gamecube.
But I hit the uninstall button at the start up folder by mistake and there was no way to stop it... Well time to do something else for another 5 hours.

Did all US players moved to ship 10? I thought most of them were in ship 2.

Ships 1-5 are overcrowded. It will settle down eventually. Anyways if you want to play on the first few ships try avoid the time when the people in japan are playing, you will just cause high latency to the other players and eventually some of them will start b*tch*ng and moaning. So jump on those ship during the usual working time in japan.

^ yea... I just found that out unfortunately and I'm already close to lvl 10, so I guess I'll just stay here :P

Just finish tutorial and before I go ahead, wondering what ship has the most (or looks like the most) english speaking community. Is it channel 2 which at current time is somewhat overcrowded or have they moved onto another ship?
