We did it, Arks. The foundation of Oracle’s ARKS Ships has been thoroughly tested. On behalf of everyone in the PSO2 Team, we would like to thank you for your support and patience during the unexpected server issues experienced at the start of the Closed Beta Test this Friday, February 7th.

Good news, Arks! We are extending the Closed Beta Test and giving you a few more hours to experience the game on Sunday, February 9th. We are still actively working on our servers, so the service will still need to be interrupted this Saturday, February 8th at midnight, 12:00 AM (PST). Servers will undergo maintenance from morning until late afternoon on Sunday and will be open again from 5:00 PM (PST) to 12:00 AM (PST).

During these additional hours on Sunday, we will be adding URGENT QUESTS to the schedule. Completing those will also count towards your requirements for acquiring the Closed Beta Test’s Special Rewards . Please reference the schedule below:
