Your Best and Worst Memories of Pre-Aoi PSU

[str898mustang]

Me and Volcomp were talking about V1 PSU days. Was wondering what everyone's best and worse memories were if you were there back then.

Best Memories:
Getting a full set of 10/10 Arank Tech Weapons(when weapons broke and were gone)
Making a 10/10 Alteric(same as above)
Seeing Har/Quick drop on the 2nd day it was released
A good friend giving me a Gaozoran Rod [B] when True Darkness was released
B3 Block of Seabed (truly epic)
Making a 50% Fire Crimson Line (success rate was 37% on PURE armor PM)
Making a 44% Dark Har-senba (same as above)
Making a 44% Ground and 50% Ice Muktrand
Finding Halp Serafi(took me a week, 6hours a day hunting it)
Fighting Dark Fakis on S and seeing the meteor hit us
Mizuraki Defense S(lol)
Doing 269 SW S2 runs for Pwand (pre AoI, it dropped finally in 20 runs post AoI)
Finding a Deva-zashi in Rainbow Beast
My buddyred_ghost giving me a Me/quick and then another buddy giving me a Har/quick during 1up
When missions were actually hard
1up and Firebreak
Getting all my tech to 30.


Worst Memories:
Seeing weapons break and be long gone
Seeing the random person my party invited get the Har/quick that I saw drop (it was Dracken)
Doing over 1000 runs for Rikauteri and it never dropped
Spending soooo much money on photons to synth armor (it cost me 32mil for 3 stacks of rays at one point)
Boss drops were horrible(it did keep the drops rare though)
Hearing about people getting Pwand board
Getting killed by Megid in Seabed
Hackers
Failing 24 out of 29 Crimson Lines(did get a 50% fire one)


I know there's more but that's all I can think of

I know there's more but that's all I can think of

Best moments as we were talking about
10/10 Tengoh bow, when they could be lost forever
Getting 5 har / quicks in the awesome 1up
Liked firebreak.
(not sure if this was pre-aoi) but getting a 50% storm line
people went nuts over it.
Rappy suits, when they were new and cool.
BASIC JOB's FOREVER (not really like a few months after release, but still cool)
It was hard back then.
Selling ele photons for insane prices.
Twin Bear claw's!
2-8 mission points per run hahaha
Rappy's used to be awesome to see. Now it's like eh, cool.
DE REGAN taking 40 minutes to kill (yes this happened to me and 2 IRL friends)
We skipped the colony missions cause we didn't know what they were .
So we started at level 1 and went straight to De Regan! He was tough at level 4 since we leveled up to about 3-4 by the time we got there.
and also no Moatoob! That was cool that we had to wait for Moa to be unlocked. Loved those missions when they first came out.

Also, saving up meseta forever to open up a shop. I loved how hard it was to get meseta back then.

I'm a day 1 player...and I can make my lists short and sweet

Best memories:

-1up by far the best time I have had
-Hunting for over a thousand hours for a Rucar(pre Aoti and not during 1up) and getting a 50% Light
-Meeting the friends that I still talk to til this day

Worst memories:

I solo more Hives for Rucar and Repca(up to 1000 hours)....I enter B3....this guy GATO joins....35 seconds later....GATO receives [B] Agito Repca 12*....tells me he'd give it to me but he really wanted it......a week later.....he sold it

to this day...and i have over 8700 hours of playtime....never saw another repca drop

Seem most people's best memory is about getting a good syn, but I dunno why those are not really get into my good memory record at all... may be just because my syn luck isn't that good. oh well.. anyway :
(I ll include AoI too)

Best memory: (in order)
-My first day in PSU
-Phantasy Star Phanshion Show (my favorite moment)
-Phantasy Star Faver (better experience/ better work than fashion show, but I was too tired on the day to list it on the top)
-When I start my first trios rare hunter team.
-PSU Thanks Festa Global! (first time to successfully contact SoA to support)
-When the server 's best TA group is formed.
-First week AoI-JP.
-Fortune Gacha event by kiss kiss.


Worst memory: (In order)
-The day I quit TA, because Eleina blackstab me.
-whenever any friends quit the game.

[Gravagar]

Best:
-Talking with friends in the lobby
-Hitting the Lv50 cap the day before it got raised to 60
-Dus Daggas was my first Lv30 PA [and just 10 mins ago it became my first Lv50 ]
-Amassing an armory of 5-star weapons, then forgetting all about them and jumping to 8-stars
-Universe 1 and 2 were always full, and universe 3 was halfway there
-Getting a home-synthed axe from a friend who didn't have a melee PM as an x-mas gift... I didn't like slow old axes with slow old dugrega and it was only like 14% dark, but that axe is still one of my greatest treasures
-Fun, challenging missions like Grove of Fanatics
-I played PSO until PSU day 1. Searching through the ends of the Gurhal system to find my friends from Ragol (and, for the most part failing, but meeting so many more new ones)
-Not being able to afford scapes / actually having to play good (yes that's actually a good one)

Worst:
-The first mission they added Jarbas in. the horror... SO MUCH BLOOD
-Getting bored of the huge time gap between updates


...I wish PSU had its launch/early community again. I don't want to stop playing now that the event's over, but I almost have no choice because I hardly know anyone anymore and being limited to WB-PUG-ONRY is boring as heck. ; ;

[Tsavo]

Best

-Synthing a 38% Ground mugunruk during 1up
-Playing through S rank Fight for Food the first time

Worst

-Running Plains Overlord for months on end and no Solid / Power
-Being a level 34 Protranser

[Sano]

Best:

- When I've met awesome, funny, trustworthy friends to hang out with, chat, do runs with.
- When Moatoob was first released. LAPUCHAS!!!!!!!!! Oh and the Kog Nadd were quite awesome back then... but Maggas Magahna sucked (to fight) XD
- The community being everywhere. Decent population at most lobbies. ESPECIALLY Agata Islands, Raffon Field Base, and Kugo Hot Springs. Spam sometimes but, usually fun to meet people for runs

Worst:

- When the Advanced Types were released, we all got pounded pretty bad. Not really a "Worst" memory but, it kinda sucked getting pounded on lol.
- Level Cap @40 & @50 lol.
- People trying to force me to Role Play.
- Emo people who couldn't socialize and attempted to get people to feel bad for them.
- When friends quit.
- When I quit for a while and gave my account away to some friends. (Reason why my ID # is horrendously high lol)
- The feeling that a few of my current close friends might be quitting due to retarded RL addictions ( cigarettes )

More to come when I remember!

[Volcompat321]

It took me about 3 days of running non-stop to save up enough cash for 5 scapes. It was so horribly awesome. It seriously took me almost a month to finally get enough to get a shop going, then money started raking in.

[Sano]

Oh man.. Scape Dolls... those were a bitch to keep on hand for quite a while . As for opening your shop for the first time... that was definitely a good memory! Everyone was usually broke after opening but, got good income afterwards

[Volcompat321]

Yea, I sold all those har quick's after I opened my shop. I got customere real fast lol.
Also, forgot to add, running into De Rol Le for the first time. (I know it's after AOI, but it was still awesome)
