How did u start to play pso? For me it all started out when I had my birthday party. Zer0 met another one of my friends, and then after the party invited my friend (lancer) over. Zer0 showed him pso, and then lancer borrowed pso. Later that same day Lancer had a party, and I went and played pso. I didn't really like it, but then at lancer's end of the school year party, Issac and Vahn came and played it. They liked it, and they bought it during summer break. I went to Vahn's house two times for a sleepover, and enjoyed the game more, so I bought it around the end of July. That is how I started pso.
PS: This is my longest post so far.
i went into a shop saw it thought that looks good bought it and then went home and played on it :p
I saw it in the good ol' official Dreamcast magazine, i thought it looked really awesome + i was a fan of Sonic Team. I first played it round Sols, and i was hooked! ( I was also complete crap at doing 3 hit combos!

)
hehehe. Same as Junon I think. But I think I saw it and wasn't that bothered. Walked into a shop and thought why not!!! What a stupid impluse buy, I've lost thousands of huors to it now

I started PSO like I started a lot of games heard about them from one of my friends, look at it on the internet, thought it looked cool, so I asked for it for my birthday then, go figure, I got it, now I've played it for about 600 hours total with all my chars.......
Well i played it on DC at my friends house, and then in some weird way decided 2 sell his DC of course i bought it(DAMN PHONE BILLS!!!) so here i am, btw my DC burnt a few months ago so now i play on my brothers GC version. But i am moving to my own apartemant in like 3 weeks, what am i going 2 play now

I started when I read about it in NGC About a YEAR AGO!
I wanted it BAAAD since...I got about a month ago...hehehe
I swapped it for Zelda:TWW (As in I got PSO, and gave The Wind Waker) after seeing it at a friend's house. My friend was all like "PSO is soo rubbish". I hardly ever discuss it with him 'cause he doesn't want to, but when I do, I get the impression that he was illegit. I always dig at him for that...
I never thought about Phantasy Star Online much really as i never had a dreamcast, but when i heard it was coming to the Gamecube, and saw a trailer for it the first time, it made me join the pre-order queue, simple. Thats all it takes for me to buy a game, a great trailer, and and even better game introduction movie! I could just tell this one was gonna be better then any other anyways!
:p
I saw it in Nintendo Power and thought it looked cool so I bought it.
