    By the way if you're from EU, microtransactions are region blocked and the only way is to buy a gift card and then you would need an North American address. However, if you don't plan on buying anything, you can play as you like by changing your country to America or Canada and then downloading it through the Microsoft Store.
    So that I'm clear on this, there won't be an EU version of this game and instead, EU players will have to register as North American?

    I'm not in Europe, but this is what I found.

    "the game will not be region locked and thus accessible to players around the world.

    It’s likely that players will have to change their Xbox region settings in order to access the game’s American servers"

    Now, I can also tell you that XBOX does allow for Paypal payments for AC and such, so if you sign up for a paypal account, or already have one, there's a good chance that you'll be able to buy AC and packs on the store without issue. I use paypal myself without issue.

    My Microsoft shop has one PSO2 item but it is not the game. Must check with NA people if it is in the shop yet ?

    I see that too. Perhaps not yet on the PC store. Honestly their treatment of PC players leaves a lot to be desired.

    Kind of weird that an 8 year old game requires Windows 10.



    You mean instead of Win7, an OS that MS quit supporting 5 months ago?  Or instead of Win8, an OS that SUCKED when they released it, and really has never gotten much better?

    Actually its because porting between XboX One and Win10 is a lot easier than older OS's, since XboX One and Win10 were designed to be compatible.  I think it was smart not to port to an OS (Win7) that will soon be a hackers paradise.



    How is PSO2 on Win10 working out so far?

    - Perhaps you haven’t claimed a reward through one of the menu’s yet
    - You have the mission marked and its a repeatable
    - Its a bug

    Probably one of the three above. Sometimes a mission also doesn’t complete until you restart the game.

    'the only way he could nail it any better is if he used a cross.'

    Kyleran on yours sincerely 


    'But there are many. You can play them entirely solo, and even offline. Also, you are wrong by default.'

    Ikcin in response to yours sincerely debating whether or not single-player offline MMOs exist...



    'This does not apply just to ED but SC or any other game. What they will get is Rebirth/X4, likely prettier but equally underwhelming and pointless. 

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'
