<P>The real official Blue Burst you'll be playing will be open at 9pm (PST) that's also Noon EST, and 5pm GMT! Here's the low-down!</P><P>From the times 4am to 9am (PST), you will not be able to connect to Blue Burst. At 9am (PST), ST will open up the servers again so you can re-connect. You will be downloading a likely larger than normal patch enabling the following:</P><P><STRONG><EM><U>Mail Box Function:</U></EM></STRONG></P><P>I think this is so cool! You can send mail to even offline users! I.e. You get a mailbox on PSO. Note the max is 50 so make sure you're not offline for too long or too well known! lol. When you get on you'll be noted of your offline messages. (Sorta works like yahoo messenger if you have it)</P><P><STRONG><EM><U>Page up and down function:</U></EM></STRONG></P><P>This is one of those minor helpers. You'll be able to scrolll through item menus using the page up and page down key</P><P><STRONG><EM><U>Word Wrap:</U></EM></STRONG></P><P>Apparently there was some sort of bug with this... the line break will now work properly. I noticed this just last night! Shows how slow I am! The word wrap will not be activated atumatically though. You must activate it through the options menu.</P><P><STRONG><EM><U>Zoom:</U></EM></STRONG></P><P>Now this one sounds like it works a lot like setting your screen resolution on your computer. If you have the scroll wheel on your mouse, (and who doesn't these days?) you can zoom in and out pretty much using the scroll wheel on your mouse. There's 4 levels.</P><P><STRONG><EM><U>Focus Sound:</U></EM></STRONG></P><P>Supposedly, you can select this in your launcher options, about Background Music (BGM) and Sound Effect (SE) on and off when Blue Burst is not running (Active/On) <STRONG>Note:</STRONG> this is in windows mode only. (Selectable in your options menu before starting Blue Burst)</P><P><STRONG><EM><U>Episode 2:</U></EM></STRONG> </P><P>I always thought it was availible but according to mr. shoe uk it's not and won't be until the real thing is out, so this is an enabler included with the big patch. Also there's episode 2 quests included as well!</P><P><STRONG><EM><U>Challenge and Battle mode: </U></EM></STRONG></P><P>Yes! These modes are also finally included! My friend and I wanted to battle last night..ironic I got this piece of info after logging off Blue Burst!</P><P><STRONG><EM><U>More quests and GM quests:</U></EM></STRONG></P><P>I'm assuming these may be the old Gamecube and Xbox quests, but maybe their new ones! Also the GM (Probobly GameMaster) - The people supposedly going to be cruising around in the lobbies after the beta ends. I guess there's supposed to be events related to these people. But we'll confirm this for you!<P><STRONG><EM><U>Battle and challenge mode:</U></EM></STRONG><P>Sadly, this will not be availible until AFTER the beta ends. So if you planned on playing that for free...sorry.<P><STRONG><EM><U>More difficulties:</U></EM></STRONG><P>There was no Very Hard or Ultimate mode supposedly to level up on, so if isn't out already it will be out and included with the patch!<P><STRONG><EM><U>No episode 4?!:</U></EM></STRONG><P>According to Jonathan_F (A ragol.co.uk member and PSOWorld Staff!) there is no episode 4 to be released tomorrow! It will supposed to be out this week or next week..maybe it will be tomorrow. I'll personally confirm this for you all ASAP!<P>Lee, myself, and the rest of the Blue Burst team will keep you updated on all the info! In the mean time, keep posted, I've got more info coming including this:<P>All 56k users, CAN play Blue Burst. I run on 56k and what I did was I went to a friends house and downloaded it and burned it onto a disc then installed it on my PC and it runs fine! If any 56k'ers have any questions, e-mail me at <A href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A> you can also PM me or just post it on the forum if you don't trust me!<P>We all hope to continue to see you on the official Blue Burst block Oceanus 6-01 and keep it here for updates!<P>-Ivan (The unofficial American Idiot)</P>
