Recreated stages from Phantasy Star Online, pretty cool. I logged in to my old account and sure enough it fired right up. Don't know if it's enough to get my interest back "especially with age of conan around the corner", but I gotta admit getting to play through the old stages recreated is VERY enticing, *goes back to playing*.
Just figured I would give you guys the heads up.
