I've been playing an inordinate amount of Phantasy Star Universe lately. The first true sequel to Sega's 2001 Diablo clone, Phantasy Star Online. My experience with PSO all those years ago was conservatory speaking, fantastic, though more accurately, it was life altering. I came out of that experience with great, long lasting friendships. One friend of mine, who when faced with the necessity to leave New York, actually chose his new home with the help of a friend we met in the PSO community. Indeed, on our first trip down to where he would eventually move, we actually got a ride from Atlanta, half way to Greenville, South Carolina from another friend of ours from that same community who had never met us in person before.
These days though, so many of us have moved on from there, I don't believe many of us from the old guard are playing the new game, but I hope that they are out there.
