<!--QuoteBegin-Wikipedia+--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Wikipedia)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->The Phantasy Star Online titles are a sub-series of Sega's Phantasy Star series of games that began in 1987. With the exception of Episode III, the PSO games themselves are simple hack and slash type role-playing games where the player slays monsters, levels up, buys new equipment, etc. The online Phantasy Stars differ from the previous games of the series by offering a real-time -- rather than turn-based -- approach to combat and seamlessly integrating this with the exploration/plot development aspects of the game.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

TLDR: It's like Diablo only without the clickclickclick and there are lasers. PEW! PEW! PEW!

It's that time again. PSO time! Only <i>this</i> time we've got a private server, with admins who claim to actually do something about cheaters, and extra quests. Oh, and did I mention that it's free? Because it is.

How to play: Follow the instructions on <a href="http://www.schtserv.com/connect-psobb.php" target="_blank">this page</a>.

Hope to see a few familiar faces online!

<!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->Disclaimer: Sega is pulling out of PSO in favour of Phantasy Star Universe. The official servers are free right now (but only for people who already had accounts) and will go offline forever in a month or two. I also ran this by a mod before I posted it so any wannabe spoilsports can go cut themselves or something.<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

    I never liked PSO. Is this any different?

    It's PSO, so... no.

    I have a Force on the server, around LVL 30+. I'm up to play. But it's been a while and I've been inactive, so I think they might have deleted my character. I'm still up to play.

    I'll be hanging out on Terra's Luna block 1 as Lork, if anyone wants to play right now.

    See you I do not.

    Gem would probably play with us if she was around.

    I made a team called "Cargo Bay" if you were just looking for me in the lobby.

    Oh what the hell, it said people <i>can</i> join this quest mid-play. Typo or a bug, I guess. I'll meet you in the lobby.

    It's not the best but it was going on the right track., rather than all these MMO's now. Things being in real time is nice; not having to click on ###### over and over making it a game based completely on numbers.

    It's better, but still not good. I'd rather play something <i>sans</i> MMO but <i>with</i> good gameplay than the other way around.

    When it's free and nostalgic, I can't complain.

    Man, I've clocked so many hours on PSO over the Dreamcast and Gamecube it's not funny. S-Ranks on challenge, levelling, chatting in the lobby, all that. Loved it.

    If I weren't at university I'd be on this faster than a FOnewm running to the corner to spew level 30 RAfoie at everything that moves.

    What characters are you using? My little FOnewm has a special place in my heart.

    Decked out with a Chao Stick and level 30 techs he was pretty explosive too!

    Humar. I always go Humar - Rangers are boring and Forces are silly. No Rares yet, though. Not even a DB's Saber.

    You should play more often. Me and Redford have gotten far, far ahead of you. And don't use the forums to announce when you're on - that never works. Get on IRC or something.

    I'd hop on IRC if I used it, too much useless banter has me close the window.

    I'll join up every now and then to see if you guys are on.
