System7

thank you for this information! by the way, Zandres, I played on the Dreamcast system so long ago....did that precede GameCube? I think so, by 2 years at most, perhaps. I think it was the year 2000. Wow...that was amazing at the time. If I were to stay on late enough, I'd run into players from Japan who were logging in. Some weekends, you could NOT even get into the game! It was incredibly busy and there was no room on the server! After maybe 1 1/2 years or less, that all went downhill in a hurry - the sharks and FSOD made it miserable. Gone were the crowds of colorful characters, created by users across the globe, and the fun of a four-person quests, etc. I digress! haha But thank you both for your input on this, and thanks, Zandres for that .pdf.... I will read it eventually.

Hey, sorry for my total dumbkoff ignorance here, but I hardly understand much of what is being said. From a comment in this thread: If your a hunter/Ranger try something like a 5/145/50/0 If your a FO try something like 5/0/0/195/ -What are those numbers? Are they the levels for each mag characteristic - DEX, POWER, DEX, MIND???? -My character is a big clunky robot called a "RAcast", and the ID is "Whitill". Does anyone know what either (or both) of those terms mean???? Thanks for any information on this But in case anyone else stumbles across this thread, I found this link online and found that it answered so many questions I had about mags, and informed me on things I did not know: https://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=1034

thank you - yes, the DLL was removed somehow. but why the japanese screen? i suspect a hacking.

yes, i had malware seized by my virus protection. and, when the game loaded, the screen was in japanese. there is some foul play going on! i uninstalled it and will try to re-install it. i hope my character was not deleted!
