Hello, again! :) Yes, it's the same line of questioning as in 2018 (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4544) :P

We all know Eden has a relatively small active population. But who is still playing as of 2022? And why?

Some quick questions then as a kind of census...

In my case...

Characters: Saturn FOnewm WHITILL LV163*
Joined Eden: July 2014

I'm still playing because: I like to check in that the server is still alive.
I also still play PSO on: Dreamcast (offline)

*Yes, I've managed a whopping 5 levels since I did a similar thread in 2018 T_T

I'm still playing because: i'm a ghooooost
I also play PSO on: a super secret eden revival project...!

Characters: Nightmare (HUmar), Unknown (RAmar), Death (HUcast)
Joined: Around 2013 sometime.
Timezone: UK
Still playing because: Many reasons...
But it began with not wanting to play Schthack because it was destined to fail, and it did.
Wasn't interested in Ultima. The custom stuff had no appeal to me.
Found this place... Checked out all the class/gear/QoL changes and found them appealing. I still do. It feels like vanilla, but with all the right changes.
This server is the reason I have a HUmar, for example.
I still feel that there are a few changes this server needs, but I cannot fault the server for not implementing them, as there's nobody around with the power to do it.
What Ziva has done with the powers available has given me some awesome Christmas's here. (TJS with 3 stat from Xmas wish? Yes it's possible! I have 2!)
Through the ups and downs I'm somehow still here... Have always enjoyed multiplayer more than single player, but I'm finding myself enjoying single player lately.
I could go on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on... But does anyone really want me to? lol
I also play PSO on: Ephinea, if you count scripting 27 Mags in a roughly 3:30 loop over 2-3 days as actually playing... One would think there is no market for so many Mags. One would be mistaken.
I've had multiple Lv200 characters there, lots of Lv150+ characters (most of which was done by either spamming Raf in MAS on FO, or standing by the door while someone power leveled me because exp share works without tagging there) and given away a lot of good gear, because the ease in which I was making PDs to buy stuff was honestly demotivating more than it was motivating, for what was the equivalent of leaving my PC running... These days I give them away for PD and Meseta donations so I can keep making them, and to a GM that gives them away to new players.

Alright, have a nice day, and I'm sure you'll see me around, as I can never seem to leave for too long. Thanks for reading.

Characters: Kurly (elite) Fonewm and RAcaseal mostly

Joined Eden: I don't know and don't know how to find out. Maybe 2012 or 2013

Time Zone: UTC -5 but now UTC -4 I suppose. New Orleans to New York.

I play because I join this community when I was in middle school, so it just reminds me of my childhood. But now I'm in grad school so I definitely don't have as much time as I used to.

I also played PSO on: I only did Eden and local PSO.

Good to see Kurly and Roro around still :) Picked up playing again - all my characters are named something like Fence or Fencie - 194 RAmarl, 15x FOmarl, 18x RAcast, 15x HUcast, 13x RAcaseal, 13x FOnewm.

Started on Eden back in... 2013 (?Idk but my GC number is in the 4000's if that helps) because I missed pso badly and the exp and rare monster spawn rates were alluring without being OP. Played PSU official, BB official (shouts out to Team FireMonkey and Red Vortex) as Chaos (RAmarl) and Rantious (FOnewm). Also played PSO Xbox which is where my addition began. Xbox days were the best. 127% single attribute weapons nva4gt

Just got back after being locked out of both my ingame and forum account for 2 years but...
