Yeah... yeah.. I\'ll be Salim. Soon as I can find a tiedyed HUmar costume I\'ll be right there.
And I wouldn\'t exactly say we we\'re playin till 6:30 in the morning... more like we was chattin till 6:30. I think we only "played" about an hour total.
Faith, PSO is a lot like Diablo (tho I wouldn\'t know for sure since i\'ve never played Diablo) What you do is create your character from 9 preset character types rangeing through 3 classes. (Hunter, Ranger, Force = Fighter, Gunslinger, Magic User) basically. Although if you want to be dic you could also be a theif too.
You then alter his outside appearance through a wide selection of different alterations.
Once you create your character you can take him online. The servers are called ships, which have blocks to spread out the strain, and those in turn have lobbys which are like chatrooms that you can walk around and meet people in. Once you decide to get a game going, you can go to the information desk and either join a game or make your own. This transports you to the Pioneer 2 ship in the game. Then it\'s just like singleplayer where you run around collecting items, slaying monsters, and advancin through lvls.. except that your doing it with friends (hopefully). You can set up strategies, brag, trade weapons, pull sneak attacks.. stuff like that. Ok.. kinda imagine a cross between Zelda and Final Fantasy where there are four Links controlled by 4 different characters who run around chatting with each other and exploring Hyrule.
It\'s a lot more complicated than that.. but that\'s the gist of it.
The Keyboard cost around 15 to 20 bucks depending on where you get it. You may be able to find a good used one at EB or Funcoland for 10 bucks. I forgot to mention that you must get a VMU as well. You\'ll need it for saving your character, obviously. All together you\'ll be lookin at spending about 180 bucks for the full setup if you buy it from most retail outlets. You could probably fanagle that down to about 120 through a PawnShop or maybe 50 bucks through Ebay if yer lucky.
