Its first death was all the way back in , when the servers for the Dreamcast's rickety version 1. But Phantasy Star Online refused to die.
In I can still step onto the deck of the Pioneer II and beam down to the surface of Ragol, clumsily fighting the keyboard controls of a game designed 17 years and half a world away from me. I can make a new HUnewearl, a lithe hunter with low HP but a penchant for knives and specialty skills, and find a party of players happy to walk a beginner through an opening mission they've done a thousand times before. What's really remarkable is that I can do all of those things and have options.
Where many of today's derelict MMOs like The Matrix Online and Planetside struggle to sustain a single fan-emulated server, nine years after its third death Phantasy Star Online has at least four communities of active players, often with anywhere between 50 and people idling in a lobby or grinding a year-old grind. Phantasy Star Online didn't just refuse to die. It's alive and well, and everyone has a story about how PSO fits into their lives. That's especially true of the people who run the servers keeping the Pioneer II in orbit.
I had written some proxy software in the past for the Gamecube version, but I really needed something to keep my mind occupied after my dad died, so I decided to start writing Tethealla," said Terry Chatman, who runs the PSO server Ephinea. Chatman, a systems administrator, goes by the handle Sodaboy online, and has been in the PSO scene almost since its beginning.
Tethealla is the name of Sodaboy's server emulator for Blue Burst, the PC version of Phantasy Star Online, which is now used by almost every fan server. The exception is SCHTHack, the longest running fanserver, which Sodaboy also contributed to at one point before starting his own project.
I have always been here with Ultima and I plan to be the last person in the server if some day it has to be taken down. Before I knew it, I had something that worked very well, in some ways better than the only other working Blue Burst server out there, Schtserv, at the time. I threw up a test server did had a lot of people helping test the software until, finally, I released the source code to it which started the boom of PSOBB private servers.
I'm pretty sure it was by then. Shortly after releasing the code, I took my test server down because people started moving to their own servers and I couldn't really get the results I wanted from testing anymore! I then stopped working on the software and retired from PSO development for a few years. In Sodaboy was coaxed back to the community by developer tofuman, who had continued working on Tethealla.
Together, they teamed up to launch Ephinea and improve the server software, adding in new optional features inspired by Phantasy Star Universe and Phantasy Star Online 2, like individual player drops, a lobby jukebox and character transfers from other servers.
One of those other servers, Ultima, has been around since , with a total of 20, registered forum members. Where Ephinea is the shiny new server interested in adding new tweaks to a year-old game, Ultima is more established, with a longstanding community, and it's where I decided to spend some time with PSO.
Ultima is still run by its founder Oscar Canizales, who goes by the handle Larva. I was helping a friend to launch his Ragnarok Online server and while I was doing some research I found out about the software to run your own PSOBB server, I went totally crazy about that. The Sega US servers for the game closed just a couple of months before that. I didn't really play much online back then due to my economy but still loved to jump on my Dreamcast and play the classic way.
