Welcome to the forum

Welcome to the new PSO subforum. You like? No? Well learn to like it!

Some crazy admin has a little obsession with PSO, and seeing how quite a few people actually have this game (a rare thing at GT), it needs its own forum. And because PS2 has its own online forum. Need to play fair :p So here it is, enjoy it, make yourself at home.

Talk about rares, your characters progress, your need for a keyboard, quests, anything! Just post damnit! This needs to be the most active forum at GT! :D

I would like to get PSO. I have some questions:

1. How much does it cost? What is included?

2. Do I need a keyboard? If so, where do I get one?

3. Is there a monthly access rate?

4. What is the game about?

4. What is the game about?

1. $49.99 for the game. Minimum cost right there. BBA or Modem goes for $34.99, American. Around $39.99 if you import. There aren't many US ones around, Nintendo hasn't had a new shipment... yet. From there you're free to go online.

2. Need, no. Very few people have them. Should you get one? Yes. But considering the price, it's easier said than done. And waiting to see if you like the game is always a good idea, since the keyboard is basically the price of the game + BBA. Right now, they're only out in Japan. $90 is about the cheapest you'll see, and they're still hard to find. Rumors are MadCatz is making one, but there's no official word. And who knows is ASCII will bring the Japanese one over here.

PSO.....$50
BBA.....$35
KB......$90
tax/ship$25
Total...$200

Playing the game the way it was meant to be played... priceless. :)

3. You will need to buy a Hunter's License to get online. They cost $8.95 a month, but you get your first month free. So you'll know what you're getting into before you ever pay for it. And if you get into PSO, $8.95 is nothing. Think of it this way, 6 months and you're down 1 game. But any game that you play for 6 months, is worth the price of 2.

4. The game is an online RPG, in many ways similar to Diablo. You enter into a level, fight enemies, and build experience. They drop items, you find other items in boxes, etc. Basically, that's all you ever do. It's a lot more fun than that, but braking it down, the game is more or less leveling your character and searching for rares. Hard to explain, if anyone else can do better, give it a shot. You really need to play it to understand it, but even then it's not so simple. You'll be confused on what mags are, what the different items do, and so on. Make good use of this board ;) It's a lot to take in at once, but still, I can't describe what the actual game is like very well. On paper, PSO doesn't seem like a game that would be that great. But hundreds of thousands of people disagree :D

Nah. I think I'd rather convert GT to the light, and then they can all come in :)

If only the other PSO players would get their ass in here. I'm so lonely :( I've started like 80 bajillion topics for them, then need to reply damnit! ;)

If both GCN and PS2 have an online forum...wouldn't it be fair for Xbox to have an Xbox Live forum?

[gekko]

It does ;)

Bond was given the decision to have one or not. He chose no, then was undecided, then didn't give me an answer. And since only 3 people have it, it's not really a big deal yet. But if he asks, he shall recieve.

Finally! I've been waiting for a PSO subforum! I hope to get online soon. Its just that I dont have access to a credit card at the moment. (Mom's credit is shot, so no chance there) I'm just waiting until I'm 18 and I'm gonna get one for this game.
