New fad this Summer, Japanese Phantasy Star Universe. If you guys didn't know, the English version got taken down since there weren't enough funds to keep the server running. The Japanese PSU changed to a Cash Shop system in 2010-ish, so it's F2P but with a few limitations.
Free Course limitations:
- No access to the room, that means no Partner Machine, no synthesis (crafting), no player shops and no titles (free course players can still use the common box storage though, which are accessible through NPC shops).
- No trading or catching drops from other players.
- Can't access premium course specific universes (for now I think they're only uni 7 and 8, but once they add the other universes back, it'll probably change back to universes 9 to 16).
- Can't do the extra story missions (like Innocent Girl) and story subplots.
- Can't do rare missions.
- Can't use the advanced customization options (GAS).
- Free course players may only receive 1 Daily Stamp instead of 5.
- Free course players may only receive 50 bronze per day at the casino, instead of 1 silver + 50 bronze
Anywho, here's a little guide on how to do things.
Installation
Go here (http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/download/psuilluminus/httpdownload/) and download everything into a file. It's quite a huge file so... yeah. Once finish, click on Setup and run it. You might need to change your Locale to Japanese to install. Easiest part so far.
Registering
Oh, look what I found (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJuPy6hSOb4).

Just let me know what else you guys want to know and I'll post it.
