Currently it is now peak hours in Japan, Ships 1 through 5 are suffering from heavy congestion. Because of this, you may not be able to do the following:

• Connect to Ships 1 through 5.
• Move to another Block
• Return to the lobby from your room.

We recommend playing or creating characters on Ships 6 through 10, but this may not be ideal for the English community. Current suggestions is to play on Block 20 or 30 to meet up with other English speaking players.

If you purchased the Premium Set, Sega suggests that you play on Premium Blocks. There's about 15 premium blocks right now, and based on the situation in the future, this number may be adjusted.

A new level is coming in mid-July's update called Subterranean Tunnels (mines). It will contain two bosses, "Tranmizer" and "Big Vader".

Mid July's Update!

コロッサスシリーズ Colossus Series (Cast Parts)

 

Big Vader looks like a huge battleship.

 

How is he going to fit on regular fields?
