| − | "Event" is the generalized name given to a period of time in which at least one limited-availability '''event''' occurs. Events can typically be split into two categories:
| + | [[Events]] refer to any specially themed, limited-time occurrence in ''Phantasy Star Universe''. These occurrences can include seasonal lobby and rare enemy changes, social or promotional events hosted by the game staff and major events in which players are brought together to work toward a similar, large-scale goal. For more information on the various types of events, please see the following articles. |

| − | * "Seasonal" events, such as Christmas or Halloween. These events are predictable in nature and have prepared festivities such as town decorations and/or themed monsters.
| + | == Site navigation == |
| − | * "Promotional" events. These are non-seasonal, often one-off, events or promotions. An example of this would be if Sega were to give a free room decoration to everyone who logged in on a given day. These events were observed in Blue Burst, with the "Maximum Attack" events.

| − | ==Seasonal Events==
| |
| − | | |
| − | As the game is still new, it is hardly surprising that the game has yet to experience any seasonal events. Here is a list of what players can expect and when:
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Halloween===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Halloween event is well known as it occured on the JP Phantasy Star Universe from October 20th and is planned to last until November 9th.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Known festivities include:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Modification of lobbies to include special Halloween decorations and music.
| |
| − | ** A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfWMVeeeBRI&NR video] of these has been made and posted on YouTube.
| |
| − | * Rare Rappy Lantern enemies that drop a Halloween-themed Rod called Pumpkin Head.
| |
| − | * A complete room theme for 5000 meseta.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This event was not run in 2006 for the English servers. The first and only maintenance before Halloween itself passed and the event was not added. Some users believe that it did not occur for various reasons:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Unfairness to non-American regions, as the event would be exclusively available to North America and importers.
| |
| − | # The game was set up and released too soon before Halloween for there to be time to set it up.
| |
| − | # Sega America are likely more interested in game and network stability among other issues than running a non-essential event.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Halloween lobby theme is included on the [[For Brighter Day]] soundtrack, on Disc 2 (the "Neudaiz Side").
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Christmas===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The game holds the capability for a Christmas event as this is, frankly, the most expected seasonal event. This event was celebrated in almost all incarnations of Phantasy Star Online. Finally, the Phantasy Star Universe soundtrack [[For Brighter Day]] has a Christmas theme suitable for lobby use. This theme is found on Disc 3 (the "Moatoob Side").
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is expected that this event is to be the first seasonal event, if not the first event entirely, for the English servers of Phantasy Star Universe, pioneering around December 2006.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===New Year===
| |
| − | | |
| − | As with Christmas, this is an event many people implicitly believe will be presented in Phantasy Star Universe. Also celebrated in most versions of Phantasy Star Online, and [[For Brighter Day]] contains a lobby-suitable theme named after the likely event on Disc 1 (the "Parum Side").
| |
| − | | |
| − | As this is merely a celebration and contains no notable festivities or characters such as Santa Claus or the Jack-o-Lantern, this event - not surprisingly expected around New Year - is one of the least likely to have any active participation or subsequent rewards.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Valentine's Day===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Another much-expected event to occur first during February 2007. This was also included throughout the Episodes of Phantasy Star Online, and [[For Brighter Day]] contains a lobby-suitable theme named after the likely event on Disc 2 ("Neudaiz Side").
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Others===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The above are just the most obvious seasonal events. There are sure to be other, less predictable events. The [[For Brighter Day|soundtrack]] contains a few tracks which could be used for (and thus hint at) other events, including Carnival (Disc 1), Marriage (Disc 2), Cherry Blossom and Comedy (both Disc 3).
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Promotional Events== | |
| − | | |
| − | As of the earliest stages in the lifetime in English Phantasy Star Universe, there have yet to be any promotional events. There has been one noteworthy event on the Japanese servers, however:
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Sonic (JP Servers)===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Japanese servers have had one such event thusfar, and that was to award a free [[Sonic]] decoration to the [[shared bank]] of all players who registered their [http://segalink.jp/ SegaLink] accounts before July 31st, 2006 (one month before the game's release).
