Wow, it is amazing to me to find out, after all these years, that PSO is still running and has a healthy amount of players. I had no idea until this past weekend. I was in the middle of playing Persona 3 Reloaded on my PS5 and something popped in my head and I began to reminisce about playing the original PSO on my Dreamcast all those years ago. I was getting mentally tired, as it was late at night, so I decided to take a break from P3R and hop on to Youtube for a short while. My curiosity led me to checking on Google and finding out that 1) there are still servers that run PSO, and that 2) with the right adapter I could in fact play it again on my Dreamcast. I quickly found how pricey the DreamPi was going for, but then discovered that there was the PC version as well. Now I know I can just boot up my Dreamcast, drop in the PSO v2, and continue playing offline with the characters on my old VMU, but I really wanted to play with other people.

So that's what brings me here. I have decided to try and see if I could find anyone who would be interested in casually playing with me on a Friday or Saturday night (EST). I am a father now so my game time is mostly limited to those nights. I am going to also ask a few of my real life friends, but IDK how interested they would be in a "retro/classic" game from this era if they hadn't played it during its prime.

Oh, and if it matters, I am a complete noob. I got this installed on my PC yesterday and spent about an hour trying to get my controller to work, which I eventually did, then I played through a large section of Forest 1. I ended up at lvl 3 I believe. When I played the original back in around 2000-2001 I was mostly offline solo and at times I had my best friend hop on to join me. And from what I can remember, there was a Dragon like boss that the two of us couldn't beat. So there is a lot I don't know, and I am looking forward to just hanging out and casually making my way through the game with a buddy or 2.

EEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeee~!! *POUNCES and examines Papi zero-san wiff a warm giggle~!* Aaaaand yet another Old Guard Dreamcaster falls victim to the topless Siren's song of 'Nostalgia and washes up upon our little tribe's shore! Believe it or not, the majority of our newest members were also casually scrolling through Youtube or TwtichTV and caught wind of our little paradise~! And YES! If you can convince a few friends and family to give this place a try, it will certainly rekindle what once made you remember PSO in the first place~! Albeit a Wee bit of Kicking and Screaming may be involved to get them into a 25 year old pixelated gem of a game! But hey, once they're here...can pretty much BET they'll see the CHARM in it and want to Stay~! Aaaand even if you can't coerce them into it, you'll find this community is Moar than willing to halp support and get your Mojo back in fighting form! So feel free to join ANY random nooblet room and be REBORN, Luv! Looking forward to pouncing and playing wiff you, too! Welcome HOME~! =3!
