God save the queen

Just played some PSO and my character finally reached level 100. I was talking to this player in the UK, and he gave me this ultra-rare weapon. It rawks.

One thing I've noticed is that all the UK players I've played with are very friendly, and I know I can trust them... unlike the players here in the States who pretty much act like jerks – constantly begging for items, killing other players and stealing their weapons, making racist and sexist comments, etc.

This difference in maturity is probably due to the fact that accessing the PSO servers is free in the US, but pay-to-play elsewhere (Japan, UK, Europe). I can't wait till PSO version 2 comes out here, since that will be pay-to-play. Hopefully, that will weed out the kiddies and teen punks who don't have a credit card or are too cheap to pay.

I've seen online polls asking "would you buy PSOv2 if it's pay-to-play" and all the "no" responses and comments I've seen are pretty much juvenile – all caps, tons of misspellings, laced with profanity, calling Sega greedy (hello? It costs $$ for them to maintain their servers. It's called a service).

Enough of my ranting. I just wanted to say that Limeys are cool. =)
