Comment on *Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst* private server

You don’t drop your weapon on death in this server.

Oh cool! I remember losing my Egg Blaster all those years backs!

Oof. I looked it up and it’s even worse. Some hackers were even Resta-killing and dropping glitched money in the lobby. Picking up glitched items (black cube) or getting killed in the lobby can corrupt your save file so you lose your characters.

Oof damn, that is brutal! But how did they get the items in the first place? Lol.

GameShark (confirmed); or save data backup to PC and hex editor, in theory. I don’t think there was a DC DexDrive and the console’s security didn’t get totally defeated until a couple years later, I believe.
