Hi PSO Ephinea community!
*inhales for deep breath intro* Firstly I'd like to say hi to everyone and express my gratitude to all those involved who are still keeping the PSO spirit and community alive. The guys running the servers here on Ephinea look like they do a great job. It's both amazing and humbling to be able to relive some amazing nostalgic experiences playing this game thanks to everyone who makes this happen.
PSO was my first encounter with an online multiplayer game way back on the Dreamcast in the early 2000's. I have the best memories as a kid playing this game with my buddies in real life, racking up huge phone bills on a 56k modem connection and being part of a community that pioneered online gaming and experiences with PSO are some of the best memories I'll ever have. My forum avatar picture is of my RAmar and is a piece of artwork I did way back in 2005!
I've played PSO in various formats over the years Dreamcast, Game Cube (I didn't own a GC but bought a memory card so I could play on my friend's one via split screen at weekends!) then eventually made the jump to PSO Blue Burst. Over the years I joined the Scthack servers, times were good there until the great server wipe and I couldn't face starting over. I briefly joined the Ultima server, and whilst that was good the option to by items there kind of put me off and took away from the true adventuring spirit at PSO's core.
I've played PSO2 over the years both the JP and EU/US versions and whilst I enjoyed it initially, it never felt the same as PSO. I think in a way it lost it's charm and became too muddled as a franchise.
I've always played RAmar, and always under the name Axel Gear, always as a Ranger - It would feel weird to play as anything else!
Fast forward over 20 years and I'm now a husband and a dad of one 7year old daughter whose into her games like me! My passion for PSO has been reignited since discovering this wonderful server and tonight we jumped on PSO Ephinea for the first time, we've made my daughter a character (a Force!) which she absolutely loved doing. I'm hoping that this weekend I can get my second pc up and running and we can go and explore Ragol together and make some new awesome memories.
Between our adventures I'll be looking to play a bit more hardcore and party up with people and hope to see and meet some of you wonderful players online! I'll be attempting to raise some mags for both myself and my daughter and hopefully some to trade as no doubt we'll be in need of some items and gear! Gotta get that meseta first... XD
Thanks for reading my ramble!
