PSO is one of those games I don't like modding/hacking in, personally. Things like seeing enemy HP and such aren't too much of a bother, but just not for me. Full-blown hacking. Nah, I am happy without.
You are selling Heart of YN-0117 for 5PDs? Would you be willing to haggle? I have 2PDs, Grass Assassin's Sabers, Diska of Liberator, and Delsaber's Buster. Would you be willing to make this trade? Not sure how I'd get Elenor mag cell otherwise, and I kinda need it for one of my characters...
Apart from PSOBB, I've been playing a lot of Fallout Shelter on Steam, and I have been doing a "Hero of Hyrule" run on my 2DS (A Link to the Past, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, Link's Awakening).
And this, while not a huge achievement (though a more personal one), happened tonight just a moment ago. Gradually been getting friends and family from my gaming group and from my old PSOBB team as well as some of my PSO2 friends onto the server as part of my team. Finally got a group of us...
One of the other PSO-World mods mentioned something about this in a topic once in recent history.
In a way, it's likely in Sega's best interests to keep the private servers alive.
Going through the One-Person side story quests (in part for levels, in part for the story) and came across this earlier
Also completed my first TTF in years with several others from my team.
