You never LEAVE PSO, you just take a 12 year break...

Hey gang! I must have logged 190+ hours on PSO during the Dreamcast days. I was obsessed with that, Shenmue, Powerstone, Jet Grind Radio, and yes -- Seaman.

Lately I've become pretty disenchanted with modern AAA gaming. If it's not broken, it's incomplete. So I decided to see how I could still play PSO and ended up landing over at Ultima.

Then I came here because the community looked friendly and it just seemed like a more "supported" and active server, ya know?

Anyway, you can find me running around as KILLIAN.

About me? I drink too much coffee, still make mixtapes on cassette, cover the game industry at Forbes, host an indie music show called Insomnia Radio, and rant about all the things on Twitter.

I'm pretty thrilled to be playing this again. Thanks for having me :D
 
Sick that's awesome bruh. Hope I remember to check your shiz out. Welcome back to your life long addiction.
 
POWERSTONE. I loved having people over and destroying them when Wang Tang turned into a bootleg Goku. Welcome dude. You never fall out of love with PSO, even if you take extended breaks from the game.

Welcome (back)!

From one of your articles:
In 2001 resourceful Phantasy Star Online players hawked rare items acquired from SEGA’s Dreamcast RPG on eBay.

That was a thing? You don’t happen to have a screenshot or something like that, do you? I’d love to see a 2001 eBay auction for a PSO item!

I promise it was, haha! I lived through it and remembered seeing several, though I never could find screenshots when I was writing that Diablo article. Bonus points: I was totally browsing eBay with the Dreamcast internet browser.

It was, same way people auctioned off neopets and runescape things back in those days.

I remember I had to use that internet browser to set up the Dricas account for the imported Japanese version of PSO v2. Holy crap what a hassle.
