Going Online

[Dark B.]

Hello there.

I had years to play my pso (gc) and all of a sudden it came back to me to play again.
Actually something has hit and I've been playing old games again (also visited Zelda OoT and Majora, Donkey Kong 64 etc) and I thought how's my character doing on PSO!

Anyway, after the first one hour that took me to get back in the game, and remember how it's done, I remembered that the last time I was hunting for Red slime to get me that freaking Lavis Cannon. Well, after 4 Red Slimes the last 2 days it's still a dream that didn't came true yet.

Back in the old days I never tried to go online (how foolish of myself) to play with others. Yes, my main character lvl 162 redria is all offline experienced! And I was wondering if I can go online to play right now. I read that there are actually still players that been playing pso in 2014 and that there are private servers.

And I'm asking: I've been playing PSO now from Wii (my GC is at my parents house). Is it possible to get online via Wii? If not, I should buy a modem for GC (i think it will be easy to get me one on ebay) but how am I gonna connect to a private server? I am totally ignorant of these stuff, online connections etc, so can anyone help me to get online?

I really want to get online and play with other pso freaks (hell yeah) and play some quests that are only online that i've missed. I even have tons of weapons that I cannot use (mostly for Forces) and I'd love to exchange them in order to get me the weapons I could never get my hand on!

Thx in advance for any help!

You need to use a GameCube. You'll need a broadband adapter (not the modem), an Ethernet cord, and a router to plug said Ethernet cord into. We can't explain publicly how to connect, but someone can help you via PMs or something.

That would be really helpful!
Anyone that knows from this stuff to help me i would really appreciate it!
Better get my GC and a broadband adaptor then!!!

Wrong.

You can use a Wii to connect. We can't tell you how to do it here, but each of the Western Private server's has a dedicated section of their forums for Wii Connection, be it a post or a whole section. You'll know it when you find it. Or you could just google "PSO Online Wii" and you'll probably find something.

Chill, dude.

Looks like that's true, Wii is an option as well. I haven't played PSO GC online since like 2008.

If you have a decent computer, you could also look into playing Blue Burst as well/instead, if that interests you.

I still play PSO1 on occasion, love it to death.

I had ******** hooked up at my old place, but I moved so I'll have to try to rebuild it with my old Gamecube. Once I do, I'm 100% for getting Vintage Stream online to enjoy the runs.

Can you transfer your data (characters etc) to Blue Burst? If not, I dont think it is worth to gather all that stuff I ve already found! it took me ages back then :P

I'll try to find what Kronedion said and hook up my Wii right away!!!

I've been doing the same, playing offline by myself and split screen with friends. I've always been interested in pursuing online gameplay. Can anyone help me out with what to do?

Depends. Some sever admins for BB will allow you to transfer your items. Most of the time they let you do that from one BB server to another, but I'm sure there's a server that would allow you to transfer your GC levels and items to their server.

We can't specifically tell you how to connect, but there are plenty of private servers out there for PSO. If you were to somehow combine "PSO" and "private server" in google, you might just find what you're looking for. However, be forewarned that the GC population is not very large. If you're looking for a healthy amount of people to play with, you're better off switching to Blue Burst.

Quick question. If no one is online at the time you log in into the private servers on GC, can you play online on your own? Or you'll have to play with others howsoever?

Has anyone suffered from data loss (erase your character save, lose items in bank, etc) while playing online? Due to server breakdown for a example. I read something about that somewher and I wan to know if its true.

Thx
