How do you think this is going to affect non Japanese players? I only ask because you seem to be one of the most active English speaking people in the community. For instance, do you think they will IP block?

@mxby7e: IP block? Nah, I doubt it. As said by an user of PSUMODS, PSU always had this clause and they never did nothing, lol.

things change. for example they took that clause out and just recently added it back in. PSO was P2P and they've now moved to a F2P model. It's nice to take solace in past experience, but we really don't know what Sega's doing until we're face to face with it. We'll see in the coming hours

And now, I have to play the single greatest game in years….from the shadows. Well, I'll see you all….never, because I don't exist….look for the trench coat…the crow caws at dawn.

No I don't believe there will be an IP ban

Is it alright to update the client with the English patch applied? Don't want to try and break my game. XD
Also should we wait for an update to the English patch before re applying it?

Well, i have the game installed onto another PC that doesn't have the English patch on it. I'm just going to update the client there and then do a full game backup to be safe.

1.2 G size. What is it about? Seems quite big for a patch, unless it follows an update later on.

Will I be able to Update my game if I was using the English patch? Or do I have to download everything all over again?

@Dante People are saying the game will break if you update using the Eng patch. If you have the original files though you should be able to update it!
Nilok
August 7th, 2012 at 8:16 pm
supposedly the game will not patch correctly if you have the eng patch installed. that's why they tell you to back up your data files before you apply the eng patch.
@Nexia: They're adding the dragon lands tonight.

To answer anyone's questions about your game breaking after updating your client while having the English patch applied. I've just got done updating my Client with the EN patch applied, ran the game, not broken. Servers are down of course, and the once patched files have been reverted to the original japanese files. However the game itself seems to be fine.
Nexia
August 7th, 2012 at 8:27 pm
I see.
When will the update finish? I can log in but servers are down atm.
Ganymede
August 7th, 2012 at 8:28 pm
Also, I believe I read over at psumods that after the servers come back up, all that's needed is to re-apply the patch if you wish to do so. However it is not known for sure if the patch will still work, however, it should.

Confirmed, the English patch is broken. However your PSO clients will run just fine. They've just reverted the data files to the originals. If they haven't changed the encryption, which we will know soon, then the new version of the patch will be released shortly.

Yeah to anyone wondering, and to answer my own questions earlier, if you have the English patch applied you CAN update your client just fine. The game will just revert to Japanese.
However, you CANNOT apply the previous English patch dated from august first as it breaks the game, causes missing text and stuff. I tried it XD

^ XD I tried it as well..

I'm guessing nobody read the readme.txt file, did they? It says that you CAN run the updater, but to NOT re-apply the English patch, as it may break the game.

New English patch is up. However since Agra was rushed the new Quest names are broken. Expect this to be fixed within the next few days. – Source: psumods.co.uk
