I was Wondering about that..
Went ONLINE last night. About to FRAG DEL ROL, when all of a sudden none of my hits would connect. Then it said hit "start" , "game over". Could not connect afterwards. Wonder if it's related.
BTW, Vermillion (if you read this), Leroy, and the rest of the crew. Made up a game in
ARIEL 10, lobby 7 ( I think it's lobby 7, could be 6) Named: BLUEBERRY DEEZ.. the password is known by Leroy/Vermillion already.

That's "BlueberryDonut" actually.. and where were you last night?! (:<P>I'm level 51 or 52.. can't remember, as I was sleeping as I logged off last night..<P>And somebody adventuring with me dropped a Lavis Cannon +15 when we died, and he logged off and never came back on.. so guess who got it ^___^ Though I did wait for him to reutn like 30 minutes..

My Ranger Human, just hit "69". well actually 61. Wish it was 69 tho. Vermillion has several, some already maxed-out on their abilities, but not levels. Elroy has a 47 or 48 Hunter Female..
And yes, Leroy--ONLINE, the Baddies were relentless, quicker, 4x as strong w/ 4x as much health, and 4x as many. I had to resort to Hit-and-run method. Can't wait to try the V. Hard mode.

Hmmm... This is almost a reason to get back on PSO (after the maintanence that is). Most of the peeps I know there aren't on so much anymore, or at all. Few of them that are still on are on too late for this lil' eastern time zone android. Course I haven't really played in 3 weeks. <P>------------------

"Blueberry Donuts" was too long a name.. It did not accept it.. But the game is "Blueberry Deez" ---- I hear NUTZ coming somewhere..
Yeah, I went ONLINE around 01:00. Looked everywhere in the block 10 section, on ALL the lobbies. Next time; let's meet at Lobby 7, Arial 10. My usual ONLINE logon is around midnight. If the expected server revamp completion is Thursday--AT midnight I will be online.

BTW, I'm open to a higher level joining.
A "100th" level. Hope that does not unbalanced the crew---enemy kill-wise.

Oh and I made a mistake.. Weapons in the game CAN go up to 60% anything above is illegal!! n.n

Halo, next time we meet, if you don't see people in the lobby they're probably in a game (which doesn't matter what lobby you're in.. different lobbies are just to seperate when theres too many people talking in one, or you want to get away from some morons) If you choose to join a game you can view who is in each game.. by pressing some button when it's highlighted..<P>Okay.. so I get home at 10:30 and get online, Ariel 10 as usual.. and start a game called "BlueberryDonut". You get home at 12:00 and get online, so by this time I'm in a game not in the lobby. Choose to join a game, and you'll see "BlueberryDonut".. it's strange because I know me, Q, AND Tom were all in at about 12:00 Monday night and onwards.. in fact I was on until 5am (: So if you got on at 1:00, we were there (already playing though..)..<P>Arf..<P>I dunno about the extra exp thing.. though I assume your characters max stats will be different because by the time you are at 100 (for some stats, before) you will reach a maximum.. I'm level 52 and have my Max ATA, partially due to a friend giving me hella Hit Material since he was Maxed.. (: Mags wont increse that past your Max, but things like Armor Units (God/Speed) will..<P>I think..

Oh and the mantaince is NOT for ver 2.0, although part of it MIGHT be. The big thing is that they are HELLA upgrading server side shit. There were some new PK methods created, and even a horrible code that alters an item, that if equipped DELETES YOUR CHARACTER FROM THE CARD!!! Hopefully these new shits are taken care of and they are taking these 2 whole days to possibly prevent GS usage at all..<P>BTW.. heavy banning is going to start too, so be careful if you have items you know are hacked: Lv 999 Mags, Weapons grinded past thier Max.. etc, I think most of the uniques are safe, even though 90% of them were created by GS or duped in some manner.. if they are technically legal, ie: Frying Pan +9 is okay, since +9 is it's max. Frying Pan +80 will get you booted. And weapons that have % values over 50%, like 60% damage to Native. 50% is the max the game will make a weapon so anything above is GSed. Hmm can't think of anything else off the top of my head..<P>I hope Sonic Team finds a good way to prevent GS usage in v2, at least affecting online play.

the 50% weapon thing isnt true, i have found a weapon that has 55% to dark. and since i only use what i find i can insure it's integrity =D. yah, the duped item thing is pretty much why i do that, i hate to think i'm part of the problem.. so i just dont trade.
