So what's it like to have friends on PSO?

(Warning: This post contains a high complaint content)

**** Not sure if this should be in the rant forum, but it's
kinda depressing when I go online. I play games frequently where I'm the only
stranger in the game. Most people in this forum have played together. Everyone
knows everyone. I find it increasingly harder to find games to play in because
everyone is being forced to play password games. Most of the people in my two
and a half pages of guild cards don't remember me. Only person I ever played
with more than once or twice was a big time duper, and she was no fun to play
with.

My ratio of offline time to online time is extremely unbalanced. I'm never on
enough to even get a reputation. About 15 hours of my 100+ hours of total game
play is online.

**** Not until recently have I had a stable ISP I could use
to even get online. Only about 20% of the time would it even connect. They
capped all connection times to 2 hours (try to get through V. Hard ruins at my
level that fast) at the most. If it was during peak hours only 30 min. Then they
would disconnect you and wouldn't accept your password for 15 min. I finally got
fed up with the crappy service and set up a Juno account. Worked fine, there
were some problems, but nothing like my other ISP. Not that I had a much more
stable ISP, I still never got to go online because my siblings would always be
on when I get home from work. Even though they had 4+ hours of game time between
when they get home from school to when I get home from work, they're only on
when I?m able to can play.

**** Then Juno did whatever to it's servers, so I can't use
'em anymore. Never got it to work again. I finally forked out the cash to pay
for SegaNet (works very nice). Problem with that is I still can't get online
because my siblings are on!!!! ARGH!!! And I'm paying for their online time!!!

**** My sister's character has a big reputation because
she's a RAcaseal with maximum height and maximum *cough* bust. Her character
attracts more boys going though puberty than she can deal with. My brother's
character has a reputation because he's practically an insomniac and plays hours
and hours in the middle of the night. Me, I'm limited to the few hours I have
between work and sleep.

Well i think that is one funny thing in PSO when any RAcaseal or female characters enter a room basically every guys goes "hi there" and flirts with them. I find it's funny that some guys can get a "rise" out of videogame polygons. I play about 2 hrs a day and i still rack up the followers its not that hard either, u just gotta have this attitude towards people its kinda like real life only in a lobby where the overall important thing is to have fun and many people seem to lose all that rare hunting and whatnot. Well i seem to have joined in your complaint but for other reasons, well having friends is nice and if you want some more go sacrifice your sleep like your bro,he seems to have the right ideahttp://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/icon_smile.gif

Kamotz-kun:

Try offering help to folks at lower level than you. At level 50, and with a lot of offline time racked up, you probably have at least some of the Hard levels open; offer to chaparone some level 20-30 folks through the Hard Mines or Ruins. They'll remember you, then, as being cool to play with.

Im a guy, and my character in pso is female..i do get more attention..then i say "these are fake" everyone laughs and we get on with the fightin. Ive made a few friends simply by spoutin off smart-ass comments in the lobby (first rule of PSO, do not talk about PSO) (SPOON!!!) and some people i know from the IGN boards know me already. its actually kinda nice...hangin out with people you know and trust lets you walk around with your Claw or Spread Needle and not worry. BUT, you dont meet anyone new if you just do that. ilike going from talking to someone from Osaka Japan to someone 30 min away who was just at my old high school...that kind of stuff makes me forget about pk'ing and theives.
if you see WShakspear (me) in a lobby, say hi, ill be glad to play
