Brief Pangya Japan update

So if Arin as Luka wasn’t enough, this week Japan is bringing back Miku, Rin & Len outfits for sale once more for those who missed them. This way you can collect them all. Maybe it’s a good thing I don’t play on JP anymore or I’d probably be completely broke ^^;. Actually I haven’t really been playing Pangya recently because of the following reasons:

Papel shop rates are still low with nothing in sight of them being changed or any bugs being fixed.
We’re still in beta without any updates since May 22nd
Apparently Rookie server has turned into Ronaldo-aff land, but don’t quote me because I can’t get in there anyway.
Hackers are still at large, albeit they are sneakier now so they fall under the radar 90% of the time now
Personal shops are still disabled with no ETA on when they will come back (if ever at this rate)
Apparently people with stolen accounts still have not gotten them back.

So since Ntreev hasn’t done shit in almost 3 weeks (I doubt there will be an update this week either) I’ve just been playing Otome games. I’ve got one I’m playing and 4 on the waiting list so that will keep my mind off Pangya for a few weeks. (-ω-｡)

Prius Online hates foreigners =D

Looks like the comment someone made on my post a couple days ago was not a lie. Gameon is indeed against foreign players. It appears that multiple English speakers who formed an English speaking guild all got banned. While there is currently no non-JP IP block (like Pangya), I saw their terms of service and found this:

（禁止事項）
26.本サービスに対して日本国外からの接続行為、及び日本国外からの接続であると疑われる行為。
27.本サービスに対して日本国外からのＩＤ取得行為、及び日本国外からのＩＤ取得であると疑われる行為。

So basically if you register an ID outside Japan and play this game outside Japan, you are breaking their TOS. It’s only a matter of time before GameOn does what Gamepot did with Pangya and just completely ban foreigners so we’re forced to play on a VPN. Of course playing this game without a VPN is laggy enough, but with a VPN it will be even more unplayable. I’ve been lagged to shit to the point of getting completely kicked off the server, and JP kept getting lag-killed. I have a funny feeling that they must have some kind of IP throttle in place so that JP IPs get top bandwidth while any other IPs get crap.

Because I never spoke in English publicly and never joined any English speaking guilds, (as well as having a JP nickname) I was not banned. However the game has become so laggy and unplayable that after all this new information, this is a good time for me to quit playing. While this game was enjoyable, and I do not regret trying it out, all good things have to come to an end.

Not sure what I’ll be doing now, Pangya? 😆

Game Review: Kimi no Mirai to, Subete no Uta ni

mikugame So today I finished the brief Hatsune Miku doujin game. I listed it under eroge because it’s really meant for a male audience even though there’s technically no actual “ero-scenes” in it. The story is pretty much the vocaloid version of Chobits. “You” are a dude who plays in a band and one day after your live you find Miku wrapped up in bandages near the garbage. You take her home because she’s one of those “androids that have come out recently”. You boot her up and spend 10 days with her, making songs and making out. Unfortunately after 10 days I guess her demo expires and so she shuts down, so now it’s up to you to spend money and buy the full program so you can be with Miku forever and ever and ever! Also at the end of the game she learns to cook. It was kinda weird since you never saw the male because the male was supposed to be “you” and it was hard to umm feel like a male since I’m a girl rofl so I couldn’t really get all emotional when Miku was “dying”. The art quality was really nice though and it’s a pretty short game that’s worth checking out (assuming you can read Japanese since there’s no voices at all.)

Ai Sp@ce Joins the Rain Bandwagon

: At least the umbrella was cheap

So if you want a cheap dere item log on to aispace and pick up your 800 dere umbrella. In addition you can pick up some cute pink checked shorts for 3,800 dere as well. Oh also there appears to be another hagaki give away in Akiba so now I got 3 on my wall lol. Other than that just the usual more new nicopoint items and “special events that are actually just so you buy $20 school uniforms for a limited time” crap.
