My SS's are 5 MB. How can I reduce the quality or... something... to get them to be small enough to post on this site? I have a lot of SS's I'd like to share, but don't really know how to go about doing it. (Also, Photobucket seems to take a year to upload any of these same pictures... I haven't had one finish yet, and I've let it go for as long as 15 min). Please help!

Thinking of re-activating your PSOBB account? So was I! And I did... Only to see this:




It seems that now only a handful of players can re-activate their PSOBB accounts. Multiple users have contacted SEGA on the phone number: 415-701-3806 (seems to be broken now... They must know we're catching onto them!) for support but have been told

"we are aware and currently investigating the problem..i cant tell you exactly when it should be fixed but here is my advice. After the subscription has been put on hold it may resolve itself after about 48 hours"

It seems that SEGA are forcing players to switch to PSU in an underhanded manner, taking their money and then tearing away an effective Hunters License.

This goes beyond cheapness. So spam their phone lines and spam them good!

Don't take "Go to playsega.com" or "wait for 48 hours" for an answer! These are just cheap stalling tactics. Don't let SEGA steal your money.

The end of PSOBB is nigh, and it is error 913

so i decided to go for ultimate ruins, got the mag, costumized the buttons and we are ready to go.
then before i noticed i healed my humar at ruins2 main room (the big room with the dark bringer), the bringer and the arlans were easy, same for the claws, but the delsabers with the dark/death gunners combined were too much, i toke 2 hits from the gunners and healed.
i healed like 4 times in ultimate ruins (5 if you count the one before dark falz), used mainly an imperial pick and for single units like indi belra i used a red handgun.
i mean, my run was not perfect (perfection is not losing hp) but i don't know if this is common beetween you people, also i think it was the 1st run were i healed only in ruins 2.
was my run good?

Is there anywhere around that has lists of what cads are in the computer decks? I'd like to replicate some, but it's tough when you don't know the whole structure of it.

I'm looking into backstories and such on PSO, and I've come across something that stuck in my mind.

The android Kireek says in one quest that he's called 'The Black Hound'. Why? Also he says something about his rival on Pioneer 1. Who is that? Unless Kireek knew Flowen or someone like that, and I doubt Flowen would fraternize with someone like Kireek.

(First post, go me! Nice to be here!)

Well, I've posted this about the place on various forums and the like, but beyond a decent reception on the official PSU boards, it went with next to no replies elsewhere. So, now I'm posting it here - one of the biggest Phantasy Star Online forums out there. I won't bother posting on how I came to write it (I'm fed up writing it out); so if you're really that interested in the 'making-of', head over to the Fan-Fiction section on the PSU message boards and read it there.
I keep chopping and changing things, so this version is somewhere in the double figures. But anyway, here it is: part one of the first chapter. I'll post the following chapters, plus a short synopsis of what to expect, if it garners enough attetion. But we'll see...

EDIT: Bugger, I'm a thousand characters over the text limit! Double post time; what a start!

Let's find a rock
I mean a big-ass rock
Or maybe something like
A cinder block is better
I'll hoist it up
And drop it on your face, my buddy

And just before the lights go out
You'll see my smile and you'll know
You've got a friend
With a rock
Who cares
I mean a big-ass rock

Right. I have a friend whose favourite song she can only get on an FLV file with a Final Fantasy music video. However as I'm sure you know, basic MP3 players, as well as WMP, don't play FLV files. So my question to you is this; Can anyone direct me to a program to take the music from the FLV and put it into MP3 format? I've already tried some program called SUPER © but I just get an error every time. Once long ago I found a website that did it, but alas, alack, well-a-day, and so on, I failed to bookmark it.

EDIT: I'm a fool. I found said lost website by Googling a completely different phrase. >.>; this can be closed now if you please.

EDIT 2: I'm not a fool, it broke my file XD. Still looking for help...

Hi, I play on 360 and am new to PSU.. I'm a bit confused on how to actually play. I've done a few of the Guardian Missions but is that the only way to play? I want to group with my friends and just clear some of the dungeons and level up etc.. But I am only eligible for 2 quests in that area.. I am a newbie and am just looking for help : )

With the new update, Kubara Blades and Staves are now legitimate equipment.

Complete SEED-Awakened, the second HIVE mission unlocked today.

At the goal lobby, a vendor additional to the CAST item shop is present.

From him, you may purchase 6* and 8* Kubara weapon boards.

These boards are cheaper than their GRM, Yohmei, and Tenora equivalents. 6* costs 12000, 8* costs 55000.

For the 8* blades, you need 10 Photons, 6 Vestaline, 6 Stelnium/Slaterian, and 6 Kubara Wood. The boards are 3-use, and have about a 33% success rate.
