Terms of Use "Phantasy Star Online 2" will be revised as follows.
The Section 8 specifies a new Article 2.
(Use of game servers) Article 2 of
this connection to the game server 8., you shall be limited to the connection from the software that is installed on the terminal exists in Japan.
It is prohibited to connect via a direct connection to Japan from abroad, and a terminal located in Japan and from outside Japan.


So now its breaking the ToS to even connect to the jap version, interesting developments, but its sega, so I'm not worried. This also existed in the closed alpha/beta testing phases but no-one was ip banned from outside of Japan

Thoughts?

PHANTASY STAR ONLINE 2: Release version patch
Most recent version: Aug. 9, 2012
Discuss the patch in this thread here: http://psumods.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=207

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Download file, extract to your game's data\win32 directory.
By default, this will be:
32-bit: C:\Program Files\SEGA\PHANTASYSTARONLINE2\pso2_bin\data\win32
64-bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\SEGA\PHANTASYSTARONLINE2\pso2_bin\data\win32


If your game patches after you have copied the English patch files over, you will need to copy them over again (but don't do this after a content update, as it'll break stuff).
If you are having trouble extracting the patch to the win32 folder due to 'Access denied', run WinRAR as Administrator and navigate to the rar through that, then extract as normal.


Warning:
This is still against the ToS. While it's very unlikely you'll get banned for using it, it's still possible.
Using the <target>, <class>, <pa>, <technic>, or <area> macros will broadcast the translated message. Do not use them in public parties.


Translation notes:
We went with Dexterity/DEX instead of Ability/ABL or Skill/SKL. I felt that both of those names were ambiguous ("Ability" is a unit special that's not directly related, Skill would make it seem connected with actual skills). Qwerty suggested "Knack"/NAK, which... I can't really explain why we rejected.
The "Gulf" line of monsters has been subtly renamed. They are now Gulf, Fangulf, Gulfur, and Fangulfur, because... well... Fangulfur. Garongo is finally properly named. Big "Varder" is being called Big "Vardha" to make the reference slightly clearer.
Rewrote the mission descriptions. They were very wordy.
Xeno is now Zeno (as in Zeno's paradox). Rodio is now Rogio (as in... we have no idea, really). Maloo is now Marlu (as in the minor planetoid).


Special thanks:
scriptkiddie: Making this all possible in the first place.
Logokas and Shanic: Assistance with the actual encryption (note: for all the "wannabe programmer" talk, Shanic is an actual security professional)
Mewn, EspioKaos, Tycho, Red_Spyro: Translation.
Qwerty: Menial copy-and-paste (tons of it)
Raujinn: Delivering useless platitudes and then demanding credit for them.

found this through packet editing might of missed some but i don't think so.. shows megid techs and stuff.

Well, pso2s updates for this month are awesome! i'll do a short version till i'm at home (3ds typing sucks).

New costumes! bikinis for the girls, swimming trunks for guys. rubber ring accessorys aswell.

New weapons! one being a giant "space tuna" - more to be announced soon.

New field "the floating continent" with more drops and pso goodness.

New enemys! The 'Crystal ice dragon' found as a boss in the new field. a forest version of the tundra boss is also coming. In addition, summer rare rappys will make an appearance dropping summer only items (who'd of thought?)

i'll get more info out when i can.

Yes, there have been ppl cheating here and there, broomop is an example, but very recently someone or a group of ppl decided to go further and made all npcs in the game room unaccessible by making them float in the air (Ship02), since you can never jump that high then you can never talk to them.

Sega already said to be investigating the issue and that no personal info was stolen.
They even state that the users that caused this speaked english and that they were expression their hate because PSO2 doesn't have global servers.

Some japanese players decided to make some chat avaiable to the public, wich may help identify who was the blame

If you saw this issue and know who did it, or if you saw other infractions then you can report the users here.

sega Wrote:We are aware of certain block in Ship 2 having NPC maliciously misplaced, and are working on a counter measure, we apologize for the inconvience

We are still investigating the NPC positon change, there is no threat to your ingame data or personal information, please don't worry.

PSA on Malicious Account activity
75 Account have been banned since 06/21~07/12 due to RMT, or other Term of Service violation, Sega takes these violation very seriously, and will deal with them strictly.

So, I'm sure you've all seen by now, but if not... Good News!!
