The Maximum Attack G extension which was slated to start May 23 to June 6th has been delayed. The extension has been delayed due to some technical reason they are withholding from the public. Due to this sudden announcement, the community is up in arms and enRAGEd against Sonic Team. For now, Maximum Attack G will end after tonights update and is expected to come back at some time in the future.

In other news, White Beast Online, the newest MMORPG from Sega has been announced, and is expected to be released tomorrow!

Maximum Attack G was supposed to be extended for June 6th. However due to some technical difficulty, it will now start August 1st 2008 until August 22nd, 2008.

Sega has fixed the billing error otherwise known as “Pending Cancellation” from all accounts, but now you may play if you were previously under Error 065.

The official announcement with MAG extension has been posted.
Here is quick review:

• The current leader board will end on May 22nd.
  All players who are on the leaderboard will receive their respected prizes.
• A new total kill count leader board will appear on August 1st through the extended version of MAG. Any character who is eligible for a prize before the extension will be disqualified from winning any prizes on the new leader board.
• All PC/Ps2 accounts will have three weeks of free play for current and previous subscribers. This does not apply to Xbox 360, nor does it apply to any new accounts. This free period has ended June 27, 2008
  
• Points earned during the extended version of MAG will be cumulative!

Phantasy Star Portable Post Updated

Today there was a brief question and answer session from the GM Melchioir. As you know everything is mostly hush hush, so all of the juicy details were not given. In summary here are some answers to the questions that you’ve asked. If you’ve been keeping up to date with the Japanese version, none of this stuff is new to you.

• There will be no Player versus Player Battle like PSO, however there will be Airboard racing.
• Compensation for the 065 Error will be announced soon.
• He added that its very unlikely they will extend MAG for the 065’s
  • However they Changed their Mind See Here
    
• Melchior has hinted that if we keep up the pace we will eventually get Aura Field.
• There is no way to completely stop hackers from exploiting the game but they are hoping to act more quickly on removing them.
• Melchior hasn’t met any of the Voice Cast for any Sonic Games
• Melchior moderates both 360 and PC version at the same time.

Unfortunately most of the attention was given to Xbox360, which seems there were many inappropriate players bothering the GM.

Interestingly enough, everyone sat in a circle around the GM as if it were Kindergarten.
