PSO Episode I&II

well, i've finally decided that i need this game, along with the network adapter..

a few quick questions before i pick it up:

1. were there any connectivity issues w/ the network adapter for you guys? I plan on connecting it to my computer's shared internet connection through an on-board NIC, and later through a router that connects to my computer's NIC..
i'm using an external USB DSL modem..

2. how much better is this over DC's PSO? I loved the original, but why should i bother with this? Any specific improvements?

3. Do you guys all have keyboards, and if so, where the hell are you getting them from? None of the stores in my area have them.. should they?

i'll think of more questions later if i have em..

thanks..

I've had touches of lag, and dropped the line once (but that was due to my modem, not PSO). It's not perfect, but it's good. A whole lot better then my time on the DC's 56k.

Specific improvements? Episode II. Although I do wish the draw distance in rooms got "fixed".

Those who have keyboards imported them, they aren't out here yet. :(

so how much do imported keyboards cost, about?

johnk - I haven't had any issues with the bba yet. All I had to do was plug it in and so far it's been just lovely. Dunno how it's been treating everyone else.

There's a lot more to do than DC PSO ver. 1. Dunno how it compares to ver 2, but the new Episode 2 levels are gorgeous. Anyone know how many there are? Jungle and seaside aren't the only new levels, are they? (The VR levels don't really count.)

I don't have a keyboard. I don't think anyone anywhere has a keyboard. There is no U.S. keyboard, and if you want to import one they're going for fuggin' $80 at most sites I've seen. Ridiculous. Plus I hear they're really, really small. Not having a kb really, really sux with an x, but I am still playing. I can't stop playing. I hate myself for playing. I WASN'T GOING TO BUY THIS GAME BUT NOW I AM PLAYING NON-STOP. SOMEBODY HELP ME. Help me before I break down and pay a ridiculously inflated price for that stupid keyboard.

Anyone do the Halloween quest? I've done it with 2 characters now and both times I got a stupid Heart of Pian. Grumble. I wanted Opa Opa, dammit! So, if any of you have done it whatcha get?

70 bones.

ack.. has there been any news at all on a US release of the keyboard??

From Sega's PSO FAQ:

Where can I find a keyboard for my Game Cube?
Currently, there are no plans to release a GameCube-compatible keyboard in the US. Please check www.nintendo.com for updated information about keyboard availability.

Oh and I finally scored a Keyboard. Ascii = Gay for not having this out. It's too painful not to have a Keyboard :mad: :mad: :mad:

Gosh I can not find this game/BBA anywhere. My Wal-Mart is retarded. VGD has neither in stock, Amazon doesn't have the BBA. EBgames doesn't have the BBA. I need to get my FOnewm back into action, he kicked so much ass in DC PSO :)
