PSU Character Info

Challenge mode and PVP (they're two different things) were introduced in PSO v.2 for Dreamcast, which also marked the first time the series became pay to play. Since then, every PSO has had the gametypes, except just like with PSU, Sega has always patched new things into the game. The whole waiting a bit before unlocking new content has been the same since PSO v.1 came out in 2001. This game is all about finding a group of people to level with, or soloing to get the cash/items (at least until higher levels). It's not very easy to obtain good loot and money when you're in a team of 6. You're better off passwording a server and soloing if you're desperate for money.

The game is nothing like WoW, FFXI (except maybe crafting in a way), EQ2, or any of these other mmo's out there. It's a combo-based fighter mmo sort of. Kind of like KH...kind of.

If you've ever played a game with REAL PvP, i.e. NOT WoW but DAoC etc., they are the same thing >.>
 
No...they're not.
Challenge mode put you in a mission based setting in which you have to make your way through obsurdly long forest, cave, mine, and ruin, where for that game only your level (and everyone elses) is rebooted to level 1, and you are timed for how long it takes you to complete it. You are graded similarly to how you are graded in the missions in PSU (C,B,A,S) and PSO's challenge mode also included SS. Once you completed all of the challenges with S rank you'd get a prize at the end which you could pick. Usually a very high powered S rank weapon that looked really cool. Well...it wasn't really high powered in PSO because everyone was duping hacked items with obsurd percentages on native, dark, etc. stats.

The PVP mode (I don't remember the precise name for it) quite simply involved people killing each other. This gametype, too, restarted levels (you could choose if you started at level 1, 20, or something of that sort).
Of course, once you left the game and returned to the lobby, your items and level are returned to you instantly.

Still don't believe me? Here's some proof.
The following image was taken from the official PSO Blue Burst website. It's in a section describing the information counter (which was where you formed parties).
Game Type Screen
Also, a very reliable fan-made website known as PSO World has extremely detailed sections for PSO (is working on PSU at the moment). Battle Mode information can be found here, and challenge mode information can be found here

So please, don't even bother trying to make me look like an idiot. PSO is not WoW, DAoC (I have no clue what this is btw), FFXI, GW, EQ2, or any of the other games you neglected to mention, but accused me of having never played. I was simply stating that PSO's Challenge mode and Battle modes (PVP mode) were two completely different gametypes. What another company names their gametypes is up to them and has nothing to do with what Sega decides to name their gametypes.

And FYI, WoW sucks, lol. I got to level 40 in that game and quit. Was a waste of a christmas break a few years ago >.>

Challenge mode (more difficult PvM) and Battle mode (PvP gametypes) have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Honestly, I don't like the forced-Cmode aspect of PSU too much. :/
 
I meant Battle Mode, S my D >.>

Seriously kid, grow up. I didn't join this community to put up with adolescent children. If you're in your 20's or older, then you should definately be embarrassed. I've just added you to my ignore list. I hope in the future you begin to represent yourself in a mature and dignified manner.

For the moderators, I apologize for this topic having gone off topic.

The comment wasn't directed toward you and had you maybe put a little effort into knowing the least little bit about me before jumping the gun, you'd realize I'd never tell someone that, that I wasn't friends with or in an unjokingly matter. Name calling and statements such as that shows stupidity and you can't argue or carry an ounce of intellect in a topic if your potential readers think you're stupid. You may not have joined this place to deal with "adolescent children" but don't come in here judging others you haven't the slightest idea about with an unequiped Sarcazomat0r and call them childish. If you actually just threatened me about ignoring and would like to finish this conversation direct it to my P.M. box.
 
Been pokin' my head around the site from time to time and seems ST has been workin' hard on making this game better and gettin' some more content out there. Expansion comming in November and them finally releasing some information is a plus too. Just wondering if any of you guys are still around?
