As we mentioned on Tuesday, the Japanese PC/PS2 servers were scheduled to receive the first of the highly publicized "expansion" updates in yesterday afternoon's maintenance.
However, it looks like Sonic Team was too quick to push the changes to the game. Shortly after the servers went live, players reported widespread character data corruption, and the servers were rolled back.
As a result of this setback, Sonic Team has put off the update until further notice.
This shouldn't come as a major shock to anybody on the US/EU side when you consider the fact that Sonic Team has been doing this sort of thing to us for years. They seem to enjoy feeding poorly tested content to players.
UPDATE: Sonic Team's attempt to patch the JP servers with the update last night seems to have gone a little better. We'll be on the lookout for any interesting new gameplay changes.
