View Full Version : Phantasy Star Zero Revival Disbanding



Windancer
May 14, 2011, 09:03 PM
Where to start? Well Let's start at the beginning! November 09, 2010 I hopped on over to gamestop to pick me up a copy of Phantasy Star Zero for the Nintendo DS. I sure wasn't expecting to much even though the reviews had been pretty stellar about the release. I had been rather unhappy with 3d game engines on the DS up until this point. I was so impressed with Phantasy Star Zero I wanted to play with everyone. I had been an off and on visitor at Pso world for a couple years in my PSO days from the dreamcast. Hey Mikey let's try Pso-world.com! SO off I go.

Upon Arrival back at Pso-world.com first thing I noticed was a board for Phantasy Star Zero and a Matchups section. I caught a few games from the matchups section in the beginning but really needed more....MORE PEEPS! then I was invited to a group with about 8 members where I met Joni and Alice for the first Time. I broke away from that Group and Created a Blog Called the Blue Rogues with a live Chatroom. I cant remember the exact time frame on creation of the Blue Rogues but it was Early 2011. I shot invites to Alice and Joni who jumped over to the Blue Rogues and we were off and runnin. I also invited AtBHR and what a pleasant surprise he turned out to be. He helped with event days by hosting games in the morning for peeps who could only play in the morning and also played with us at night. Alice also pitched in on event days doing the same thing when games got overcrowded and in the beginning they did get overcrowded. It was awesome those early days! half of your friendslist online!

I cant remember but Blue Rogues seemed to go on for about a year before we broke that up and became the Revival. The whole premise of the revival was to Revive a dying game. Which I think we succeeded in. The Revival had a different twist on things. You make 1 of 2 planned games a month and you stay in the group. Lots of peeps were banned haha! it was light hearted Banning though all one had to do was ask to be re-instated and walla back in the group. It kept us some healthy play for months and also added a bit of competition so you didnt get a ban. we had revivals for Goofy weapon usage only day and also a max combo day. it was alot of fun. Dont talk to me about going for Rage Tonfas! How many Times did we run ruins only to get not one pair of Rage Tonfas! what a great time!

Fast Foward and a little bit about myself. I had cancer a few years back and chemo has left me with one agonizing thing called Neuropathy. Constant Numbness in my hands and feet, ear ringing and at times just down-right pain coursing through my body. PITY PARTY OVER! I had to take a break from the Revival after over a year of hosting and AtBHR took over for me. I was absent for months and the Revival Carried on. I recently got back in touch with AtBHR to discover that he too had become burnt out to PSZ. We have been in discussions this week about me taking the group back over. I do not think im capable of doing so at this time. So a heavy hearted decision was made to disband the group. Me, AtBHR, Alice and Joni have been going at this a longtime. Me and AtBHR had not really spoken with Joni or Alice about Disbanding but were pretty sure they may feel the same way its time for us to move on and maybe someone else out there somewhere with some energy to do so Start up another Revival for PSZ.

I think its just plain and simple.......weve done all we can, we cant do no more! With no Regrets its time for the Revival to wind down. It's been a great ride with great friends on the best online game the DS had to offer. So on 4-2-12 sometime during the day the Revival Group page will be Disbanded. Is it the end of the revival Days? Well it shouldnt be! if you play PSZ and have some energy to lead people and make some rules and stick to those rules you can start up your own revival or whatever you want to call it and keep it going. There are so many great peeps playing the game. If you have any questions on starting up a group such as this contact me through PM I would be happy help you get going. I feel the end is near..................

We lost 4 members to bans this week which took the group down to 20 people. If anyone is interested in joining just post here or pm me I will send you an invite we are looking for about 5 active people to join us for the Bi-weekly PSZ revivals. Rules are pretty simple make 1 of the 2 revivals a month stay in the group. It's been really cool so far. Norco, Mustache, Shotte, Zeal and a few others in the group have been hosting many games between revivals. If interested jump on board :)

We have Shotte in the UK and Norco that's one hour off, not sure where in Europe he lives. Anyway, they're both some of the more active members in the group and are always putting games up.

So I saw a PM about joining this group and i'm curious; what are the revivals? I mean how do you make sure people go on and play on a 4 team game? How do they work? (Is it just everyone gets on and people host games or what?)

Also, my characters as well as my wifes are all low levels...would this be an issue?

Windancer
Jul 9, 2011, 09:55 AM
We started the group to keep PSZ alive and well. How it works is that we host 2 gamedays a month. You get everyone Friend codes in the group and just join games on the 2 meetings we have. However alot of members have been starting games during the week also. Now we do try to stay active so what we do is just require members to make 1 of the 2 revival days. If a member misses 2 days they get a ban. Bans are really light hearted all a person who gets banned needs to do is pm me to get back into the group. Its been alot fun so far. we've been doing this for months and have averaged 2 group of 4 people at each revival day. Also the revival days usually go on all day so even if you cant make the time on a revival you can hookup with someone later in the day.

Atbar
Jul 9, 2011, 10:15 AM
Hey, Omunall, having low levels won't be an issue so feel free to climb aboard.

There's no issues of Being levels ahead of one's current gear (5 star grinded/low 6 star) stuff? As I'm thinking about joining the group. I'm catching up slowly but surely as I play through hard and get my trade gig going.

Suddenly I feel like I play less and less... probably because I'm not up for the Eternal Tower...

I remember what that as like, I used sleep mode a few times (mainly when I was at work or sleeping), as I pressed onwards, though it would have been easier if i knew I could gwn eo back to town every 10 floors.

Also I'm interested in the club but I'm not sure what my plans would look like.

@Gunslinger: Yes, this group is still active, there are some people who often play in between revivals and there's always quite a few messages posted everyday, either about PSZ discussion or in game meetings. I'm not so sure if Windy monitors this thread. Perhaps you could try PMing him to get his attention?

I have not posted here in a while. so many people have asked to join the group over the last year. People come and go But the group is still going very strong. Pretty much games break out every night and we have had tremendous attendance for the Revivals. I want to thank all Present and Past members for making PSZ The absolute best game on the DS! I do not know How long this will keep going But I intend to keep it going as long as we still have players to play Phantasy Star Zero

Hi guys, I'd quite like to join your group! I'm friends with one of your members DMatthews and it was him that mentioned it to me!

Look forward to hearing from you :D

DoctorShanks
Nov 5, 2011, 08:40 PM
I've added you Chris. Also, I think it would be a godd idea to PM Windy to get an invite to the group; he doesn't really check this thread anymore.

@All: We're looking for active members to not only make Revivald, but to possibly play in between revivals. This group almost always has games going on every afternoon on both weekdays and weekends, and half the time we're short a person ^^;

If you aren't level 60, start grinding. We'll do everything in our power to help you achieve SH levels and strength. My rule is: If you aren't hitting for over 150 damage, then something is wrong with your build or weapon. What I can do as an end-game member of this group is I can help you with Material setups, and I can provide you with Free 7* weapons with Element levels of two or higher. The catch? I want to see activity. If we can be friends then I will help you :)

I honestly didn't mean to write all of that; I got a little carried away. I guess you would call this "promoting the company?"

I am Norco the PSZ-Revival HUnewm, also a Eternal Tower pro if I may say so. I can provide with several useful hints to make the tower run as smooth and relaxing as possible.

I can help with most about anything. as my character can both assume the roll of support and/or dps. I also have several items which I think I can just throw away.

Atbar
Nov 9, 2011, 07:34 PM
I should mention Windancer's limiting invites to either those who have 20 or more posts on PSO-World or anyone currently in the group right now recommends. It's mostly to prevent those who make accounts on here saying "I'LL PLAY EVERYDAY!" and then drop from the face of the Earth. Also, Windancer doesn't check this thread at all so you'll have to PM him for an invite.

Judekhanzo
Nov 12, 2011, 10:31 AM
I'm willing to play with people. Hell I wanna power level with people (I'm only level 11 right now) I just wanna get some rare claw weapons. If people play with me I will give them some rare equips, I bought the game used and the save file had some rare stuff in the joint trunk I don't even want. However if you have rare claw weapons I'd love to trade for some of them.

Also if you guys have skype I'd prefer to communicate through that, since chatting through the touch screen is awkward. My FC is in my userinfo.

Windancer is experiencing some difficulties in real life that I won't get into, hence, I am now the leader of the group until his return. I still stand by Windancer's requirements of either having 20 or most posts on PSO-World or recommendation by current members of the group.

I should let you know that I'm requiring people either having 10 posts on the forums or getting recommended by other group members to join. This is mostly enforced because this group has had a lot of members that join up with only one post saying "I'LL MAKE GAMES EVERYDAY!" and then vanish from the face of the Earth.

Atbar
Dec 17, 2011, 11:14 PM
Sorry, recruitment is closed right now. It may reopen again after the new year. There has been so many new members pouring in lately and want to give everyone a chance to settle in. When I reopen recruitment, I may drop the whole post requirement thing as well (I previously required everyone interested to have 10 posts or be recommended by other group members).

LuneFox
Dec 18, 2011, 07:34 AM
Okay then, I'll join after Jan 5th ~

Atbar
Dec 28, 2011, 05:15 PM
Recruitment is still close for the time being. I plan on reopening recruitment in the next week or two. I will drop the 10 posts requirement and/or recommendations by other group members and invite those who express interest. I would rather people don't come promising me they can make all the meetings and such. I would rather let everyone prove that with their actions. ;-)

Yeah, you do get a faster response if you leave a message on my visitor wall or send me a private message. There's no need to do both since I'll see one or the other when I log in anyhow.

Feb 9, 2012, 03:36 PM
Bump. For those of you who may be interested, this group is still booming with activity with regular H/SH games happening in-between revivals (to my knowledge). AtBHR is still accepting PM's/VM's for anyone who wishes to join.
