One free month online? Why settle when you have... - whiteninja - 08-11-2005

... 3 disks of PSO.

I have EP1&2+, EP3, and a regular EP1&2 that I managed to get my hands on, which may or may not have it's one free month still. (I need it for backups.) I have the SN/AK for all of them.

Now, I know that you can have both EP1&2 and EP3 on the same HL, but is it possible to use the free month from all of them? If it is, please tell me how.

I would seriously like to have 3 free months of PSO. Big Grin

Thanks,
whiteninja

You could also use the free server to man.

Cant be done.

"Can't be done" as in I can't use a free server, or "can't" be done" as in I can't use all the free months?

Can't use all the free months, I don't think. You definitely CAN use that other server. We're just not allowed to mention it here. Look for its forum if you know its name. >>

You don't get a free month of PSO with Episode III regardless of whether you're new or not for a start! Tongue

And also to use the 30 days free with PSO & PSO Plus, you'd have to sign-up to 2 different Hunters License accounts, but i'm guessing you can do it... then again, does PSO Plus come with a 30 day free trial? I'm not sure about that either to be honest! lol

What?! Oh! Not fair! :O

In fact, I'm not even seeing anything about the free month on my PSO+ copy...

FLURG!

I will need to check ST's site right now...

Wait, that doesn't mention anything specific about EP1&2, +, or EP3... so maybe it is for all of them? But then is there a way to use them all? Maybe?

I do not know about this free server, but as far as I'm concerned, it's illegal, and illegit (because your breaking the ToS) until the official servers close, at which point, there'd be nothing else to use, so you'd kind of have to.

Heh, well i'm not big on American HL info, i'm just going by what i know in Europe, and as PlaySEGA.com reads...
PlaySEGA.com Wrote:Registered PSO Episode I&II users are currently entitled to 30 DAYS FREE online game play. Please note that this offer is subject to our Terms & Conditions and may only be used once for each legitimately purchased copy of PSO I&II.
...But not for anything else Tongue I just know that Episode III has no free online play because everyone moaned about it when it got it's release! And then, obviously PSO Plus was never released here, so, yea!

This is ST's reply: (hey, I got one! :O )

Matt, Sega of America Technical Support Wrote:Dear Mr. Donnelly,

Thank you for e-mailing Sega Technical Support.

You will receive one month free of online play for both Phantasy Star Online
episode I & II and episode III as well.

You will use the Episode I & II serial number and hunter's license for Episode
III as well. This will allow you to still use your older Episode I & II
characters online.

I hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Sincerely,

-Matt

So, it seems to be that they all get 1 month free, but since the SN/AK is saved onto the memory card, that I cannot change between the game and use both them all... :'(

This reads:
Quote:What is a Hunter's License?
A Hunter's License is a monthly subscription service that allows you to access the PSO Episode I & II game servers to play the game online.

What is the "First Month Free" offer?
If you are a new subscriber, your first month is free of charge. You will not be billed for your Hunter's License subscription until the second month.

Note: depending on your credit card company, your account may pre-authorize a charge for $8.95 upon registration. However, the actual charge transaction will not occur until the following month (once the "free" period expires).

How much is a Hunter's License?
A Hunter's License for PSO Episode I & II is $8.95 per month (U.S. Dollars). Your credit card will be billed automatically every month on the same day of the month as when you registered.
So it doesn't even mention PSO+ or EP3... Sega really needs to update their site...

I think I will try to email them.
