As my topic title says, i'm considering coming back to play this game. I have a few questions to ask before I do so.

1. Are the servers somewhat full? In other words, would it be easy for a new character to find a party?

2. Has Sega done anything about the meseta problem (Dupeing, inflation, etc)?

3. Is this Expansion ("Illumies" I believe its called) that I hear about a separate retail game, or is it a free add-on?

One of my main issues that I had with this game was that it felt more like an MMO than a PS. By MMO I mean that it takes for ever to get better equipment or level up your PM. It was ridiculous to me. PSO was much more fast pace, which was good for a casual player like me. It was also more of a grind fest, which I wasn't too fond of.

Which console are you thinking of coming back to?

EDIT: You haven't seen a grind fest until you go to a High School dance.

1. Some have left but you can find some new people or alts to start a party.

2.Inflation: no, things are going down slowly
Duping: Been fixed

3. Seperate retail game


Being a casual player myself, I find this game to be ok I mean every RPG is a grindfest anyway.

Yes, RPGs by definition are a grind fest in some way or another. Its the way that Sega incorporated the grinding in this game that makes it feel over repetative and less appealing. When I played, the only rares that dropped were materials. There is no insentive to play when your rare is a box of text with 9 stars on the bottom. I mean finding a freaking DB saber in PSO was more exciting than this....
