Phantasy Star Online US website goes live

[12.28.00] » PSO official website launches with new details and a chance to go online with Yuji Naka himself.

   In preparation for the American launch of Phantasy Star Online, Sega has unveiled the ambitious online RPG's official US website. Would-be Hunters can find a wealth of detailed information about everything from the environments of the planet Ragol, where the game takes place, to specific stats for PSO's many character classes. Beyond this, the "PSO immersion site," as Sega is calling it, looks to offer a virtual community for the game's fans, complete with message boards and an IRC channel.

   The site also offers the opportunity to enter a contest by answering some Phantasy Star trivia questions. Two lucky winners will be flown to San Francisco in February to tour Sega headquarters before attending the PSO launch party. There they will get to be the first American gamers to go online with PSO, with famed developer and Sonic Team head Yuji Naka leading their party.
