Lost weapons

[thaynes]

Hey guys,

So i played online for the first time, ran through the Towards the future quest on Ultimate and ended up dying against Vol Opt. I quit the game and when I re opened it had lost all my items that were not equipped including several weapons. Any idea why this was?

If you quit the game without saving, you will lose any non-equipped items that are not in your bank. Always make sure to quit by going to the appropriate option in the main menu.

As for why Sega would have done that, if I had to guess I'd assume it was supposed to prevent people from duping items and whatnot.

well I went to the main menu and quit the game. Do i have to quit the quest first or something?

If you exited the game correctly then i have no idea it acted like that.

However and 1st thing you should do is starting up a backup plan by either saving the game on another memory card (or another memory card slot if the card has that feature) or by using the saving and restore commands in the lobby when you are online.
Something bad happens and you can simply restore.

If by any chance you find your equipment lost beyond recovery (this may be the case if the items are really rare) then just drop me a PM with the items you want restored and i will gladly make them for you. That should bring you up to running speed in no time.

Are you using an official Sega memory card? People often report that PSO doesn't work properly on off-brand cards (both on DC and GC), which is likely due to the unofficial cards using cheap flash memory that can't handle the frequency with which PSO saves. It would appear that even though you quit the game, your save data didn't get written to your memory card, so PSO deleted your unequipped items. Did you also lose the experience you gained during the game? You could tell by your level/EXP and what you had equipped the point at which the memory card stopped working.
