Character Catalogue

We recently published a new series of pages detailing certain NPCs in the game. More will be added in the future, with the focus being on characters that include Client Orders and/or Partner Cards.

Ship 4 Character Creation Limit

Due to overcrowding on Ship 4 during peak hours, the creation of new characters on the ship will be temporarily disabled. This limit on new characters is expected to last for about two weeks.

The Friend Invitation system for Ship 4 will also be unavailable during this period. Similar limits could be applied to other ships in the future. Sega apologizes for the inconvenience and recommends the creation of characters on the less congested Ship 2.

※Deletion of all of your characters on Ship 4 while the limit is in place will result in the inability to play on the ship.
