Each player takes on the role of a Hunter on the Planet Ragol and ventures deep into lush worlds filled with mystery, intrigue, and powerful enemies. You'll battle in real-time and draw off the magic of more than 1,000 powerful rare items as you continue to search the planet for survivors of the Central Dome explosion, as requested by Governor-General Tyrell. <br>New Quests!<br>Thirty three quests have been created from the offline portion of the PSO story. Visit the Governor-General and receive up to 15 quests, or get to the Laboratory to accept 18 quests that await you there. <br>Customize 12 characters.<br>A new character named Momoka is introduced through one of the Governor-General's quests. Also, new morphing technology allows you to customize your character's face, hairstyle, clothing, and body size. <br>Play from any PC.<br>Your character data is held on a server allowing you to play anytime from any PC that has Internet access and PSO Blue Burst installed. <br>Team Features.<br>Join a team and chat with other members at any time via "Team Chat".

Perhaps it means at any given time, like even after your character was created. Or perhaps character creation has gone more in depth.<p>I really like that Points system. I would love to trade in my Bravemans for Points.

I'm a bit puzzled on why Sega decided to make the game available via download,though. I kinda wanted a package with this game.

Those pictures look amazing.<p>Why have Sonic Team abandoned me again? Why have they moved into the PC market? It's all in the consoles.

Making a game download-able is the best way for people to start thinking about free servers...I agree that making it downloadable was a bad idea. And if their effort to shut-down free servers is as feeble as it was to get rid of dupers/hackers in PSO, then...they dug themselves a grave.<br><p>[size=small][Edit by Neo48 on [TIME]1111158576[/TIME]][/size]

They made it download only because the client is most likely going to be free (just like it was in japan)

Not true. There's a persistent hacker named Broomop who keeps hacking the servers. Sonic Team banned his whole ISP. Now he's back, under another ISP...<p>He's dangerous. He can destroy your character.<br><p>[size=small][Edit by Benoit on [TIME]1111957963[/TIME]][/size]
