Actually there is another problem.
The servers had only space for 20000 connection simultaneously, and the game sold over 120000 (ps2 version only + pc version alot more) ^^. So basically they were overran by the users. What surprises me it that an expansion disc has been announced, not sure what it exactly is, i reckon probably some new maps for the ps2 and more offline story. (obviously new features can be downloaded for the pc and 360 version) And about the 360 rumors that the severs are going to be separated, just wait and see. Someone told me that the FFXI servers are crosslinked, meaning 360, pc and ps2 player can play together. EDIT: Regarding no fee for the 360, AFAIK (according to some german site/mangazine), there is not need for a Live subscription (gold thing), however you'll have to buy a hunter license and you'll log onto sonicteam's server (not microsoft), similar to FFXI, unlike PSO XBOX Last edited by Sides; 2006-09-07 at 18:19. |

I wonder why they didn't play the story mode first, as recommended, but instead ran online.
Yes, too many connected at the same time, and it created save issues that could be exploited, and such. Which is why they are resetting everyone at level 1 for fair play. |

In the story modus (offline) you play as ethan and follows his adventure.
So it has/is a proper story, unlike PSO. The extra modus is bacially the stages you unlocked in the story mode, but you can play them with your custom character. It doesn't have a storyline nor npc lurking arround in the cities. There is nothing more to do than trying to get s ranks in each mission. As for online modus, it takes place after the ethan's adventure Spoiler:
Honestly they should have done it like in homeland(GCN), enable network(online) modus only after finishing the story mode first. Who knows maybe it will be in the oversea versions ^^ |

And bleh story mode. I'm buying this for the online dammit, having you go aaaall the way through the main story just to unlock online would be an absolute pain. |

You can make ethan to a force by chaning his class,
btw hunters can also use wands as well. What is funny is, that even a cast can use techiques now ^^, if you change his/her class to forces or hunter. Well tech are now a photon art, you have to bind it to a wand or staff, so without a staff or wand you cannot cast anything. Even better without any weapon equiped you cannot fight, in PSO you could punch and kick. Photon art are limit to 36 per character, and you can choose anything from cqc skills, bullts and techniques. The offline modus does have a bad side, a lot of stuff isn't avalible. For example the classes are locked to lv10, no expert classes aso. Once you finished the story modus, there is nothing to do..... |

I totally can't wait for this to come out!
I heard a rumor that once you've been playing for a while, that the monthly fee with go down a little bit. Is that true, or just a rumor? (Even though the fee's already pretty cheap.)
