My Character was awesome on PSO GC, until I hacked him to Lv 200. D:
He was a RAmar and I had a Yasminkov. :D
9000M?
You always could tell a legit player by their level. Very few people ever made it to 200 as the EXP required from 198-200 was over double the amount needed from 1-198 or something. Eventually there was an Action Replay cheat made to set your level to 198 for this reason.
Highest I ever got to on the official BB servers was 153 on a HUmar. Challenge mode was so much fun; I had a nice collection of S-Rank weapons named things like HACKED SWORD +255. People who didn't know S-Rank weapons could be named by the players and grind that high flipped out.
PSO for the Gamecube will always have 10000 nostalgia points going for it. It was my very first online game. I still have the broadband adapter hooked into my Gamecube. Although Episode 3 was a completely different style of game (a card battle game), I thought it was very well done. It never took off due to there already being a thousand crappy Yu-Gi-Oh games and having that stigma attached to it. That's besides the lack of advertisement and an online player base of the Gamecube of course.
Dark Legacy was fun stuff. I only ever played with my brother like twice; we split the cost of the game. I beat everything by myself though.
