Before I took my long break, PSG was thriving as a team. I set out conditions and tried to establish an atmosphere where people felt connected.
Members would always make it a priority to talk to each other, try to play with each other, try to help each other out, and to have fun with each other. There was a good sense of cohesion.
PSG used to be a team filled with members who interacted with everyone on nearly a daily basis. Members would be social towards each other and play games to level up, hunt rares, participate in events, and grow stronger together.
After I came back after my long break and saw how much the team had split off and where any remaining members didn't care that much to talk to other members they met or try to include all members of the team into an activity where people would be doing stuff together and having fun, I felt that PSG lost the good reputation it had as a team and turned into a mess in how it operated.
Probably the most important thing that made PSG successful back when I first made it was communication. After I was gone for a while, upon my return I had found out from members who first joined but left after I left was that there was little to no communication from the team leaders I had assigned leadership to. It all just fell apart.
The latest Team Leaders never bothered to utilize the Discord platform I had chosen to be used as a line of communication in order to make communicating easier and more accessible to get in touch with everyone.
Because of these events, I feel that PSG should no longer exist as a team. The old PSG can never be experienced again and the current PSG is something I'm not particularly pleased with. There is virtually no possibility of salvaging it back to how it was before.
To those who joined relatively recent hoping to be a part of a team that was interactive but found out that it wasn't what you had hoped for or expected, I apologize.
I'm sorry that this turn of events came out of nowhere, but I think it's finally time that PSG be laid to rest as a team. However, PSG will now live on as an online community based upon the discussion of all online Phantasy Star games and being able to interact with others in the Discord server.
