So you folks still playing this online? Ive read some of the reviews on various sites, and it seems like its just a slighty better version of PSO, which I wasnt very impressed with when I tried awhile ago.

It seems like there really isnt much to it, and to charge a monthly price just doesnt seem worth it? I dunno, it just seems like something anyone could lose interest in quite easily.

I'm going to preface this by saying I haven't played the online portion yet.

Having said that, with the way Sega's going about "updating" content, I don't really have much incentive to check out the network mode any time soon. While I can't really say I'm totally surprised at the way Sega's going about it because of the PS2's inability to update content, I was somewhat troubled to learn that out of the box the network mode had less content than the offline mode. Seriously, if you're paying $10 a month for something, it should at the very least offer more to do than the basic offline mode.

Even more concerning to me is the fact apparently quite a few players run the same mission over and over again even when new content on the disk is unlocked for network mode. Personally, I just don't see the fun in running the same old tired mission

Code:

De Ragan C

3000 times because no one wants to step up to other available content.

I'll probably jump in once more of the story missions are available so I can see where the story continues from offline mode (quite an evil thing to do, I might add), but for right now it doesn't seem to be worth it to me if you can see all there is to see within your first month of playing.

Several of us RPGFan folks are still playing. Since Sega has revealed that they're committed to giving us consistent updates (as in, an average of three per month), the game gets my full recommendation. Just in time too, since it was looking pretty harsh at first with Sega of America being so secretive about it, which made no sense.
