I've been reading all this for a while now. I've got the JAP pirate version of PSO, which is barely tiding me over until we get the original released. Here in Australia we have had not one online game released yet, yes, not even Chu Chu Rocket. We do manage to connect to the US servers in most online US games, but the ping is pretty poor.

Anyway, I'm looking at waiting two weeks for it to be released in Australia (and even that is an unbelievable dream come true for us Aussies.. just think, an online game!), so I'm considering getting it from simplygames.com instead. The UK version you see, as we hear that the UK servers are now (finally) open to us here in Oz (like they should have been i nthe first place.. hell, someone even set up a server in New Zealand, kiwis getting fast ping on US Quake 3! Argh!)

Now my question is does anyone see any problems I might have using UK PSO here in Australia? Can someone outline exactly what happens when you sign up and connect with PSO on a UK version of PSO? Could someone also explain how it works with a US version, because in my Jap copy, I haven't even got my DC registered, so really haven't tried anything at all (but I know it won't work).

Or is the UK version just exactly the same. If so, here's another question for ya. When you look at the guild card in the JAP version, offline, it says Japan. So wouldn't it say England or something if they were the same? What does it say now anyway for you Englanders out there?

Alotta questions I know, so any info will be appreciated, I'm really hanging out for this game.

I might change my character a bit, but I'll still be a small HUnewearl. I can't see how any other character is better. My ID will be Skyly! *yay*
