Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst

I don't know what got me in the mood for PSO (I get um, "urges" every now and then), but I decided to take advantage of the 2 free weeks of PSOBB offered here. Basically, PSOBB is Phantasy Star Online Episodes I and II + Episode IV, a lot of fixes, <i>supposedly</i> a slight graphical upgrade (I think they retextured some stuff maybe), tons of extras and an anti-cheating system that actually works (what the hell took so long for server-side saves?).

If anyone is interested in playing, let me know, I have a lvl 9 HUmar named Soniku, and a lvl 3 force (I forgot the exact class, it's that questionable cross-dressing male one) named Clef.

Maybe we could set aside a specific ship/block for just the NG.com forums, I know it's been done in the past.

If you're still interested in playing after your free 2 week trial is up, the subscription free is $8.99 every 28 days.

this doesn't sound all that bad...I've had the urge to play some PSO for a while now...

You could always play on the free servers from the updated version of the original PSO.

oh, I know...played the hell out that!

just wouldn't mind playing episode 2.


I was playing the original PSO: BB JPN beta. My computer (well, maybe vid card) didn't like running 2 monitors (one for translating) and would crash

still a good game.

Certainly worth looking into.

Was playing the Japanese version of BB for a while when it first came out, so I know that the asking price to play is worth it.

My only solid reason for me not signing up is lack of time to play it.

Would be nice though... been a while since I've felt the PSO bug hit me.
