LMAo.. Morph technology?<p>TUrn your Fomarl from fat to slim just like in the Offline Quest to lose weight!

[Neo48]

Perhaps it means at any given time, like even after your character was created. Or perhaps character creation has gone more in depth.<p>I really like that Points system. I would love to trade in my Bravemans for Points.

[Mage1]

You downloaded it or have it?<p>Fat, Slim it's life.<p>PointsHow many brave mans do you have?

[Nirvana]

I have here some pictures of the clan menü<p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p>Want they still more pictures to see ?

[Neo48]

That looks pretty good, the graphics deffinitely are a lot better.

[Gboy]

I'm a bit puzzled on why Sega decided to make the game available via download,though. I kinda wanted a package with this game.

[Forge]

Those pictures look amazing.<p>Why have Sonic Team abandoned me again? Why have they moved into the PC market? It's all in the consoles.

[Neo48]

Making a game download-able is the best way for people to start thinking about free servers...I agree that making it downloadable was a bad idea. And if their effort to shut-down free servers is as feeble as it was to get rid of dupers/hackers in PSO, then...they dug themselves a grave.<br><p>[size=small][Edit by Neo48 on [TIME]1111158576[/TIME]][/size]

[WrathofGod]

They made it download only because the client is most likely going to be free (just like it was in japan)

[Nirvana]

I think not that the PC version bad is it then first have PC Version Uptabe and Gameguard anti Cheat programm.<p>Nearly each humans have a PC in Japan<p>I play since 3 years on PC PSO and Sega banned all Cheater

[Benoit]

Not true. There's a persistent hacker named Broomop who keeps hacking the servers. Sonic Team banned his whole ISP. Now he's back, under another ISP...<p>He's dangerous. He can destroy your character.<br><p>[size=small][Edit by Benoit on [TIME]1111957963[/TIME]][/size]

Hey, I might actually try to get into PSO again, now that I'll be able to play it on my PC. Sweet!
