I have been playing PSO for a good year or so. It feels like i have been playing for ages but i supose a year is quite a long time.
Over the years my characters have got quite high levels.
Hunter lvl 140
Hunter lvl 75
Ranger lvl 100
Force lvl 130
Force lvl 50

Yeah, I've been playing on and off for a while. I played for about six months last year, then got into Halo 2. When I picked it up again about a month ago, I found that all my character data was corrupted, and had to start over. Oh yeah, I played version 2 way back in like 2002, but was borrowing it cause I couldn't find a copy and had to return it two my friend.
I play PSO for 2 years, on Gamecube.

Nice to see I played longer then you guys, PSO V1 four years ago, the month it came out.
aww, ive had my own game for about a month, and played it round sonic saturns house for ages asnd ages, got 250 hours

Late 2003. Can;t remember exact month though, I do know I went online June 04
I was online from Day 1 when the original version came out on the DC. So it's been a long four years running. I only wish that I had actually kept all the memory cards that I had characters on so that I could look back at the army of characters I've created since starting.
Since the day it came out on GC
