I got the first version for the Dreamcast and found it to be a masterpiece of gaming. The Gamecube version also hooked me in. I was intrigued by the holiday events and wrote a guide for it. Since that time, the official servers are permanently offline. This guides purpose then goes from active, to primarily archival. 2.0 The PSO Holidays Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 & 2 celebrated 5 major annual holidays. There are special changes to the online game happen around the time of the following holidays. Usually these changes lasted about 2 weeks and very often the changes happened in the weeks before the holiday and end shortly after the holiday ended. Halloween - October 31st Christmas - December 25th (Celebrated from the 24th to January 6th depending on the religion, PSO considers the 25th to be Christmas) Valentine's Day - February 14 White Day - March 14 (Japanese Holiday, Boy Themed Valentine's) Easter - Floating Holiday (The first Sunday after Passover begins) *Passover is a Jewish holiday and is based off of a different calendar then the one that is used for normal purposes, so I can't give you an exact date. It's usually in April. Now you know the holidays! So let’s go and find out what happened during those times of years. 3.0 Halloween Halloween is by far the most eventful holiday in the game. There was a special quest in which one could participate AND you could go hunting for a special Rappy. This section will feature the following. --- Special Quest Walk-Through --- Hallo Rappy Details --- The Jack O Lantern Items Quest: Pioneer Halloween Description: "Find "Cake," the legendary candy! The Naura Sisters may have some, somewhere on Gal Da Val Island..." Client: Young woman Reward ??? The idea of this quest is to find the cake that the Cake Sister's are baking. These are the same sisters as in one of the offline quests for Episode 1. This quest occurs in both regions of the Jungle. As a sub- plot you can go and look for all the hiding Hallo Rappy. The Hallo Rappy will give you a special cake if you can find all the hiding Rappy! Completing this quest, will give you cakes. Your cake was based on the Serial Number in 2003 and the ID number in 2002. You receive more cakes depending on how large your team is. You get 2 cakes for yourself and one more for each member of your team. All of the cakes that you receive are identical but members of your team may receive different cakes. If you have 8 different cakes, you can trade it for a Jack O Lantern Item! ---Hallo Rappy Hallo Rappy is a rare but interesting Rappy. It looks like it is wearing a cloak but has a Jack O Lantern for its head. During Halloween, they replace the Love Rappy in the Temple. ---The Jack O Lantern The Jack O Lantern is the item dropped by almost all Hallo Rappy (95% of the time, I believe).
