The Slow Trickle Continues

News of this week's update has been posted on the US/EU PSU Web site and official forums.

It seems that Sega will be continuing the theme of the previous two updates by adding a lobby change and one content update. This update brings the Parum Unity lobbies as well as a level cap increase (wait -- I guess that's not really a content update...).

For the folks keeping score at home, it's been over five months since the level cap was last raised. The increase of the cap to level 180 is probably in preparation for the new content coming in July's (prove me wrong!) supplemental update. Other than that, there's no real content to speak of this week. Since this is a seasonal lobby update, I wouldn't expect any additional content for at least the next three weeks, either.

While we're on the subject of level cap increases, I just want to mention how ridiculously stupid PSU's level cap gimmick is. And don't try to use the argument that "all online RPGs do this". Not all online RPGs drip-feed content to their users -- at least not the ones I've played. If Sega would just release all the content, there would be no need for level caps. Then again, if Sega did that at this stage of the game there probably wouldn't be anyone left subscribed after a few months.

Anyway, those are the details, so I'm out. See you in three weeks! (Barring some bizarre surprise from Sega...)
