The only PSO that was free was like the original PSO on DC and I played the shit out of that one, well, not counting the portables ones anyways. I'm excluding private servers of course.

If the monthly fee is introduced, then this will keep it from becoming big
in the U.S.....its really popular in Japan...and they have a great follwoing..
the monthly fee could hurt sales....I hope they change their mind about that....

Uhh... I don't see any mags in those pics. That was one of my favorite things in PSO - raising really cool looking mags.

True! We need MAGs badly! I hope they will be in the retail version of it.

From Famitsu:

- Mags exist in PSO2 as living, evolved protectors.
- Details on them are scarce at the moment.
- Unfortunately, they will not appear in the alpha test.

Go to this website, the homepage has all the latest news about PSO2 (which is quite a lot) and some nice new screenshots.

Aye, PSO-World is the definite source for PSO goodness out there. Thanks for the information. No problem that there won't be any MAGs around in the α test phase knowing their existence! :)

The Mag's are back...can't wait to feed them my elixirs...

Wrong game dude, elixirs are Final Fantasy, you mean Monomates! Or Trimates! :)

Yes...I mean Monomates...and....
Moon Atomizer,Sol Atomizer,Star Atomizer,and a few scape doll's....

I always loved the sub missions PSO provides...get you alot of items and quick level ups
doing those side missions..
