Best: I joined in January 2007 and met a friendly person who gave me 10 000 to help me out to start a shop when he asked if i had one and i said no.
I never forget that kind of kindness.

Spamming Tunnel Racapture for MP, i were so determined to get my Gunner up to speed for class changing to Fortegunner.
So damn worth it i thought at the time.

Doing that party co-op mission on Neudaiz for MP.
Alot of fun as well.

And meet all cool people in 1-up and getting my first rare weapon there.
I were hystericly happy to get a Meteor Cannon..(off course it succeded the synth) haha XD.
Then my friend and i started to kick ass with our Rappy suits or so we thought until those very friendly Olgohmon wanted to have a word with us..haha.

Worse: People were more boot like, they could just boot without any reason at all.
Or the best one, being slightly stronger then the leaders character and getting booted for that...what the hell? Teamwork anyone?
Booting for dying in a mission in that time the dying gave a penalty so they demanded everyone to have Scape Dolls on them..curious why they did a Megid infested area if they cared so much..rofl.

Not to say they are all gone now, but they are much less in my experience.

Best: Playing with my brothers and sister (especially during 1UP!!!).
Worst: Getting bored with the game but still wanting to play.

[Yamishi]

Best:
The difficulty (particularly on Moatoob)

Worst:
Waiting 12 hours for a Tengoh Bow, only to get a Trimate

[pinkace]

Best: The first time online on launch day, after having watched hours of video, tons of posts on these boards and catching up to my old PSO friends on 360. What an amazing day

Getting into the "Phantasy Star" world gaming

[Sano]

Back in the day, NPC Death used to lower the Final Mission Rank, it used to REALLY suck...glad they fixed it. Now they are random attack shields lol. Oh! Chat spam too

I am a day one player and my list is in no particular order.

Best Memories:

- Killing De Ragan for the first time

- Experiencing the last room of Lab Recovery for the first time

Worst Memories:
- Hunting for an [B] Agito Repca and never finding one

- Breaking my first weapon on it's first attempted grind
- Having a member of the party die for the first time during the boss fight

Best -
* first out of anybody I knew rocking an SUV (had to farm nanocarbons and take a pretty slim chance on synthing the megaline)
* running through Sleeping Warriors C over and over with a good team put me way ahead of my friends for character rank
* my wife and I playing characters on the same account, especially since she was happy running a PM food store
* oldschool Protranser. other character types were only that but PT was a *job*
* burn status being a full character's worth of damage output
* Lab Recovery bossfight
* peoples' cries of OMG seeing my Anga Dugrega and grenade skills leveled to 21+

Worst -
* all my RL friends slowly quitting the game
* so many people whining and complaining
* never got any rares until AOI
* busted so many good weapons trying to grind everything to +10 like a noob

Those were good times back then, crimson beast and seabed still the best missions in the game. it was a sin to die and not have enough scapes, and if you had a PM you were a god (granted most people had screwed up stats on their bots) but i still think the best was the lack of mission points, back then it took forever to get your job class to 15 (the cap back then) it was torture
