@Viola-Lance thank you. I think this puts things into a better perspective. I put up a forum that asking Sega to reveal this information a year or so ago, because I expected it would be something closer to what you are referring.

Australia, for example, has been banning common anime/manga recently. Makes no sense but almost the inclusion of characters under the age of 18 means it must be G-rated or something. Atelier Totori got a r18+ rating there for example.

I kind of hope they minimize the differences between the global and jp version and they eventually decided to let mini outfits through. Those would make things a bit better, though very limiting.

The whole point of azure is that it can scale up as large as needed. The problem is they haven't designed their servers to keep up with current tech.

My guess, would be that the database isn't designed to be split up among different servers, therefore each ship, is associated with a database/cache. Mostly think this because they are only willing to do character transfers during in maintenance, or when we are running our scripts that setup scheduled EQs or what have you.

But yeah, they just switched to azure, maybe in pso3 they will get it figured out.

@ZeeHero9271 Yeah the pandemic kind of does that. No, since the pandemic I have lived in a bubble of people who ask what your gender is, before assuming it based on outward presentation(work/friends). After awhile everyone got lazy, stopped asking for pronoun preferences, and started just using they/them.

It is actually pretty cool, and I don't see any reason not to normalize it. Means I don't have to remember people's gender either, which actually allowed me to be even lazier than before.

I actually think gender is a fairly personal thing, no reason to share it by default like he/she makes you.

Yeah, I hate that making the head bigger add 3-4 inches that does not count to how they calculate height.

@Anarchy-Marine said in Remove Height Restriction:

@Zenny Hell, I'd take 140 at this juncture, over what we have now, which is nothing being done about it.

I would take a literal mod at this point. Hmm, actually does modding support make sense for this game?

@Kedlin313 said in Maintenance has been extended:

It means I can sleep just got off a 14 hour night shift and was gonna jump straight in but I can sleep now lol

Yeah I agree, Sega can delay it for another 24 hours if needed. I think everyone is used to it by now.

@Anarchy-Marine might be that they just hate Sega?

Yeah overall it is better to play the JP version. Better support, more features, etc. Definitely would suggest all the new players for NGS to go there instead.

Idk, I live in California, and I don't think I've heard he/she used in like 3 months. I wouldn't doubt that ~1000 years into the future the whole world doesn't use gendered pronouns.
