Phantasy Star Online makes its way to the PC in this download only edition. You play the role of a Hunter on Planet Ragol, traversing the lush landscapes of the planet and making a name for yourself. Real time battles against a number of deadly creatures, powerful enemies and many more will await you on your journey, while collecting a number of weapons and items that will aid you. Your main quest, as requested by Governor-General Tyrell, is to discover any survivors of a tragic explosion in the Central Dome. New missions have been developed based around the offline adventures of Phantasy Star Online Episodes I & II, while you customize the 12 characters on offer, from the items they wear to their looks, thanks to a new morphing technology. You also have the chance to join teams of other PSO players and share the wealth and a Team points ranking system. An English release came out in 2005. The North American and European Blue Burst servers were shut down following a free period lasting from January 12, 2008 until the server's closing on March 31, 2008. This was followed by the shutdown of the Japanese Blue Burst servers on December 27, 2010, the last official Sega servers. Hobbyists have developed private servers, and so the game retains a cult following and can still be played online. |
