Thank very much Kashima! Out of the many people I know, you are one that boldly shows wizdom and maturity.

Interesting topic, we have hackers every now and then, like people who are willing to quote trade a "Dark" Flow item, or trade a obviously hacked item, e.g., Psycho Wand. I feel if people hack items, they hack items, I am not going to be one but I am not going to stop it. 1) I have a life, really acn't get involved 2) As long as they hack items, and not FSOD, its all right. And if you played as much as me, four years, you would get up to level 150 within reasonable time, I don't play the game often, I am just very knowledgable about how to get things quickly.

I would also like to mention how tempting it is to accept duped/hacked items. An old online friend claims he can dupe items, I believe him, I mean you can Google how to do it. I know DC and GC are way different, but my good PSO online friend Chaos gave me a hacked (or duped?) Burning Visit and I was walking with it, and I got FSOD'd, which is why I am not completely sure about how using duped items is 100% safe.

games are meant to give the player fun, not to base your entire life around. To some poeple hacking and duping is fun, and to others its not. and basically if you know that its gonna FSOD you how on earth could u be tempted to do it. some are safe some are not. hacking and cheating is alright as long as your doing it to urself.

Hacks could possibly do damage to youre game, dupes cannot, unless its a dupe of a hack... then it can

[Todd]

And the game is not meant for cheating if the cheating is done are glitchs. And glitchs aren't on purpose. But if you could dupe by pressing a sequence of buttons like A B up down etc... then you could see that it was intentional. But what I said isn't a code/cheat cause there are none of those in PSO. Therefore this game is meant to be played legitlly. Point proven.

[Elvan]

but if the people who created phantasy star 1 and 2 knew about duping hacking and cheating (of which they should). dont you think they should've tried to make phantasy star 3 not have any of that. they didn't cause you still can. so i think that duping hacking and cheating werent intintianally meant to be in the game but the makers didnt really care whether they were in or not.

[Todd]

There are too many dupes and hacks to block. And the double save feature stopped the duping but then came a new BSOD way...... :'( So they were forced to put it back so duping is here again..... :depress:

[Elvan]

well it is possible to not have it possible ot dupe. and since you can still do it in pso 3, i think that they didn't really care about it. (i bet most of u odnt even know how to dupe)

[Todd]

We all know how to dupe. We just don't do it nor post it. IM me if you want proff. Plus how would I know about the double saves feature affecting duping if I didn't know. A lot of us are a lot more knowledgeable then you think Elvan. Even more then you.

[Elvan]

I've been around in these forums sence last septmember and i psoted a thread talking about what your reaction was when you 1st learned how to dupe and almost everyone acept me and someone else knew how to dupe. so i guess maybe things have changed...maybe...
