Team Drama to Return in PSO2

The ongoing effort to datamine the PSO2 alpha client has turned up some interesting information. In fact, it's bound to lead to all sorts of drama when the game goes live.

According to this thread on PSO-World, guilds will be a built-in part of Phantasy Star Online 2. Sega is apparently bringing them back after offering no guild option in Phantasy Star Universe (it was first seen in PSO: Blue Burst). The client datamining effort turned up some interesting software symbols that describe some of the guild options. The existence of a guild feature had not been publicly discussed before this discovery, so we don't know for sure what the developers will choose to call it.

Of course, this means that the team drama we all loved in PSO:BB will probably return for PSO2. I liked the guild system of PSO:BB for other reasons, but that doesn't mean it wasn't fun to watch the drama unfold (it's always better when you're not in the center of it)!
