PSO2 JP: Destroyer of History Part 2: November 21st

Sakai updated with some minor information about the November 21st update that was posted a week ago.

Story Quest 8

At last, the story's first climax is here! Chapter 8's story is titled "The Beginning of The End!"  The ARKS continue their investigation into the ruins. Kasura mentions an incident happening 40 years ago. What is the true nature behind the ruins? Why was its existence hidden? For what purpose does it serve? The answer lies in the end.

 

 

In this story quest you can battle Falz Hunar. How he'll make his appearance is something you should look forward to seeing. This is a high octane action battle, try to overcome his various attacks!

 

Ceremonial Lobby

From November 21st to December 5th, to commemorate the founding of the ARKS, the lobby will be transformed into the ARKS Ceremonial Lobby.

 

Arks Flag Ceremony

Along with this celebration comes a new scratch titled "Arks Flag Ceremony." This scratch highlights the "Arks Trainee Outfits" which looks similar to a school uniform.

In addition, the male outfit "Adventos" has been transformed into a female variation titled, "Adventnia." Expect to see other new clothes and parts too!

Porori

Expect big changes in the December update! Don't miss it!

As for today's porori, we have concept images of the costumes coming up in the November 21st update. Each costume matches a field in the game, and these four below represent the Naberius Forest. Expect to see future costumes that follow this same theme.

As a followup to yesterday's story, the account bans are based on several criteria, so there's no need for you to worry as long as you're playing normally.

 

PSO2 Goodies in 2013

New PSO2 related apparel and cleaning cloths are coming out in 2013, though one particular item makes us wonder if we've been spelling it wrong all this time? Naah…

Rappy Jersey (6090 Yen)

This jersey features a Rappy design in the front and back. Printed on the back in Oracle font is the text, "LAPPY FAN CLUB", perhaps we can convince them to change this before release. Coming late January 2013.

 

FoNewearl Cleaning Cloth (420 Yen)
Rappy Cleaning Cloth (420 Yen)

Both microfiber cleaning cloths are coming early February 2013.

 

PSO2 JP: Indirectly Cheating and Scratch Rotation

Sega is carrying out suspensions of those who use cheating programs or deal with any part of the transaction in Real Money Trading. However, they've confirmed that other players are taking advantage of this by staying in the same room for long periods of time with cheaters, so they too can acquire large amounts of EXP, Items, and Meseta. This act promotes cheating and allows you to gain an unfair advantage within the game.

Once they have decided that you have done this intentionally, they will carry account suspensions based on Clause 9 in the Terms of Service. They ask players not to perform these acts, and if you spot any cheaters, you should leave the area immediately and report them.
