It's been a while since I've jumped on this server (about a year since I've been active on this forum), but I felt like coming back. As you may not know, I'm a PhD student in Media Studies, and one question I have is how does nostalgia affect players of video games? Specifically, I am interested...

I use a 3rd party Xbox 360 controller because: I'm cheap I like wired controllers because that's one less battery to worry about in my life But even then, when I'm playing my FOmarl I end up using my keyboard more than my controller.

So I'm really interested in tracking my progress as I level my characters. I've downloaded and installed most of the tools here, but I'm just curious if any of them track how much damage I've done in the history of my character. And if I could keep track of how much spell damage I do in...

Just a simple question: is it the grind? The weapons? The lore? Raising a mag? I'm just curious. I feel that I'm pulled into wanting the next rare weapon, and the objective to make it to the end game. But lately I've been obsessed with raising the perfect mag, but I'm sure I will soon return to...

I'm interested, I have to look into it some more

When I'm playing my HUcaseal I'm all about that controller. But I'm also finding that the hotkeys are nice since some classes actually have stuff to put up there.

I hit a wall and quit. The game has probably changed since then, but I also felt like it was leaning towards pay to win.

So I have a question about the end(ish)-game. When in Ultimate mode, do you think it's better to have a mag that is balanced (with some DEF & DEX), or just keep one stat maxed out?

This is a can of worms. I just remember during my few excursions online in the GC days you could very easily meet players with ridiculous gear and meseta that they were tossing around. Or there were even rumors of spiteful trolls who could kill your character or corrupt your save file. I know...

This is such a cool event! I for one enjoy the thrill of hunting for an item to unlock a new quest. If I could just walk up to the counter and start it, then the quest wouldn't be as meaningful to me. The effort that builds up to the Halloween Mini event is awesome, thanks admins! I am curious...

Getting into this server I knew that it was on the edge of ethics. Distributing the game (for free) and hosting it (also for free) would probably upset Sonic Team after all their hard work on this IP. However, this community, and others like it, seem to be doing just fine. Do you think that a...

Noob question: which quest is PW3?

Yeah, I would definitely play a remake/reskin of PSO. I'm not entirely bound to the looks, and would like something new.

I know that Ephinea prides itself in a Vanilla+ approach, where they keep the game as close to the original as possible. But do you think the game has changed years later? Or is it just the same that you remember? I know for me the game feels just the same, but different at the same time...

Currently I'm listening to Muse (Black Holes and Revelations). However, when I was playing yesterday I had the Skyfall OST playing. I usually play with the original BG music of PSO, but sometimes I make an exception

Welcome to Ephinea! As a fairly new member myself I have been impressed with how friendly and helpful everyone is here, I'm sure you'll have a blast

Welcome! I think a lot of us enjoyed the most perfect version of PSO (the Gamecube), however I guess BB is still pretty cool

So obviously there is no objectively best character to play, but with various playstyles and classes, it would seem that certain characters are better than others. I'm just curious to know why you play HUcast over HUmar or FOnewm over RAmarl. Personally I've always liked the look of FOmarl the...

Really? I expected you to play as a FOmar again. I thought he was your favorite
