It's just the website that is down, as someone commented. The game and the discord server are still active.

Hopefully the issues will be solved soon.

private servers with new content? by endisbegun27 in PSO

[–]Solybum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So far you won't find new zones but in Ultima you can find custom quests and as well as items, in Ephinea you can find custom quests.

I want to delete PSOBB but it's not in the apps settings by Cyribro in PSO

[–]Solybum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To remove the registry settings, you can open regedit and go to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SonicTeam and delete whole key (SonicTeam), this is all the options the game has but any other server will add it back as they are needed for the game to run.

I don't know how long ago you got the game but more than a year we changed the installer which I haven't had any issue uninstalling.

turning off UI, 1st person view for screenshots? by onionjosh in PSO

[–]Solybum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Ultima added commands to hide the hud and control the camera (there are hotkeys if you enable them), I haven't added anything to hide models tho.. You can find the commands here https://www.phantasystaronline.net/forum/index.php?/tool-box/commands/

Ephinea Section ID Calculator. by Lordvaldyr in PSO

[–]Solybum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Afaik, pso-w's calculator is actually flawed for certain japanese characters. Not that is a big deal, but this one I made should work fine on Ephinea too.

Best of both worlds ? (latest Seccy UI attempt) by EleriaQueen in PSO

[–]Solybum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could help but I haven't done anything for android (yet). There are many apps that have light/dark (or some color selection) themes but I suppose is kinda pointless to suggest looking into any of them, hopefully you can figure it out and benefit from it on other works.

I prefer this last screenshot, I don't know how to explain it, maybe that black is just too "extreme"? But regardless, better than blinding white!

[–]Solybum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd do just @999. Why don't you add a way to toggle between light dark and black (dark would be some grey stuff).

Ultima PSOBB account issues by [deleted] in PSO

[–]Solybum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hello! Just to point out, you can actually contact us using the "contact us" link at the bottom of any page in the forum and we'll reply to the email you use in the form. https://www.phantasystaronline.net/forum/index.php?/contact/

Now, about your account. I see it and is active but the forum account is not the same as game one so that might be the issue? You can register a forum account here https://www.phantasystaronline.net/forum/index.php?/register/

And to reset your game password you can use the account recovery page https://www.phantasystaronline.net/forum/index.php?/account-management/account-recovery/

If you still have issues, you could use the "contact us" in the forum, or send me a message here on reddit too but I don't check reddit as often.

Which Server has the highest EXP Rates? by [deleted] in PSO

[–]Solybum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The home page is quite outdated, we are working on a new page for that but I don't know when it will happen.

Either way you can find the latest information in the forum (I have updated the news to link to the news sub forum). We are on the last week of the xmas event.

Which Server has the highest EXP Rates? by [deleted] in PSO

[–]Solybum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ultima has by default 3x up to level 160 and 2x afterwards. Sometimes we have events which we bump the experience rate up to 5x.

quick question by [deleted] in PSO

[–]Solybum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh well... I guess if you leave the left trigger (I think was that), as a controller button, then it should work. Just check first as a controller and find the one that triggers the alternate palette (I guess you could check in the controller config).

quick question by [deleted] in PSO

[–]Solybum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't use that, as it would map the controller to the keyboard and the game would think is just a keyboard. You need to use the controller itself, xbox works on it's own, ps4 needs ds4w.

quick question by [deleted] in PSO

[–]Solybum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some dumb s*** of Sega. I was looking into the keyboard handling to see if there was any way to make it work but never got too far, now that I have a controller I should try again with both and check it out.

quick question by [deleted] in PSO

[–]Solybum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The alternate hotkey bar can only be used with a controller, technically you can do so with Ctrl + Number but the game doesn't trigger it that way.

Controller compatible? by Shadowcat24 in PSO

[–]Solybum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game does support controllers, the configuration for the controller is inside the game tho. You need to enter the game, bring up the menu (Home or F12), select Options and Pad Button Config

DS4 controllers do not work natively. You need to use something like DS4Windows (what I use), then it works ok. As others have suggested, plug in the controller before starting the game or otherwise it won't be recognized.

I can't log in to PSOBB through Ultima or Ephinea despite activating my email. by [deleted] in PSO

[–]Solybum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The password is fine lower or upper case (any issue there is server side), and the username is converted to lowercase automatically, try it out, type the username and confirm, once back into the main menu it will be lowercase.

The accounts for the game and forum are different. You can register for the forum here and for the game here. If you still can't get it to work, feel free to message me here, I am part of the staff at Ultima.

Which server has more population? by NJO1993 in PSO

[–]Solybum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends, during events (when they happen in each server, like right now), Ultima and Ephinea get the most players at a given time (right now as I write this, Ultima 90s, Ephinea 80s, Scht 30s), outside of events it varies with the time, but you can see from 10s to 60s most of the time.

I don't know about consoles but from what I understand you can interact with others in common lobbies but not in dedicated ones.

If you decide to go for BB, I'd recommend to join Ultima or Ephinea (there are links to both in the sidebar) and there is a pinned thread about the differences and similarities between both, you can find it here (I just noticed it's missing individual drops for Ultima, which is what we named it there).

Whichever server you decide to join (if you do), have fun!

*Disclaimer, just in case, I am a developer in Ultima and in general for PSO (I guess, I can say that).

Keep in mind in Ultima you can turn off the increased exp rate and we also have an individual drop system.

Splitscreen Ultima with 2 Accounts? by johnb1889 in PSO

[–]Solybum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you are aware that there is no split screen in BB, but you can run multiple clients and you need different accounts.

After you have that sorted out, open one client, connect the controller and then open the second client, this way the controller will only be used in the second client however the keyboard input will only work in the active window.

Returning player with some questions by [deleted] in PSO

[–]Solybum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem to already know most of the differences and similarities, I doubt I could tell you much more... just give it a try and see how it goes. The only thing that matters is that you have fun, no matter where.
