TRANSPORT
After being transported to the Visual Lobby, if you wish to move to a different
SHIP or BLOCK, select TRANSPORT at the Information Counter. If you wish to
move from lobby to lobby, use the Teleporter in each lobby. In each case,
select the destination to transport yourself. With teleporter, you merely step
into it to display the list of destinations, and step off of it to cancel.
TRANSPORT
CHANGE MARKER
If you are in lobby 14 or 15, you have additional option to set
a triangular marker above your character. Select Change
marker, then select from four available colors (or None).
Once you leave the lobby, the marker will disappear.
CHATTING IN THE VISUAL LOBBY
The Visual Lobby is where you can interact with other players of PSO. You
can chat with anyone who is in the same visual lobby. When playing the
game or while on quests you will only be able to chat with those players on
your team. The messages will be displayed inside balloons. You can also
send Simple Mail to other players.
