[RAGNAGELPPOD]

I had a good run. I think we all did.

All we can do now is brace ourselves for the next adventure.

[ChibiBecca]

with lots of spam and terrible jokes. <3

[hunterseifer]

It was a good run, hope everyone got in touch with friends on got their info to keep in touch :)

[Cranberry]

=*( I'm really going to miss it.

[Aeris]

Nothing else we could do about it, they had to let it go =/.

[MasterSpark]

Friends until the end and beyond. (http://i902.photobucket.com/albums/ac221/MasterSpark89/TheEnd.jpg)

Thank you all, and good bye. :)

[AzureAsh]

I recorded the last 30 minutes of the server along with the final minute when we were all disconnected. After some editing, I'll upload it to YouTube.

[Keely]

I need some ice cream; makes me feel better.

[Ash1ey]

It was an amazing time, really. Some awesome memories on here

[Will_Nonheim]

Bye guys!

[Kanju]

We all knew it would happen someday, just not like this. However, I'm glad to have been a part PSU.

[unicorn]

See you in another universe. ^_^

Well I guess we just have to move on....

[Nai_Calus]

I'm glad I was able to be there at the end. I'm still bummed about missing the PSO endings, but at least I made this one.

Rest in peace:

Nai and his 421 Fluffy
Elly and her 451 Calus
Aedan
Eleina

Thanks to everyone.

[Angry_Ryudo]

For me it was not much time, but anyway, well played, people.

Cheers! ^^

[DAMASCUS]

I was just realizing that I don't care about losing my characters nearly as much as I thought I would.

Its the PSU community we had on the PC/PS2 servers that I mourn. Irreplaceable.

[Illuminate]

Well.
Ugh.
Went out in a bundle of flaming spam, as I expected it would...
Ahh well, see some of you, if not many of you, somewhere around the bend.

[Noblewine]

It was fun psu. Long live PSU.

[Gunslinger-08]

It was fun psu. Long live PSU.

Thanks for kickin' ass with me for so long, bro.

BYE STARSHIP EARTH!!!

[Larian]

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't going to miss it!! And OMG Ashley's blast from the past made my day!!! =D

[Keilyn]

To all my friends in PSU
To all my enemies in PSU

Thank you for everything....^_^

It's over and it all continues in psu-jpn.. (or 360 for the ones who like it )

I started in 2006 on launch, took a break and then came back Feb 2009...In that time raised my four to 170, met tons of people...Friends, neutral and enemies....and in rebellion went to PSU-JP last xmas...got screwed there eventually too..

...But for all its worth, I have more memories here...

I played this game as my break away from hard core competetive games....It was medicine for a long time....Helped retain my sanity competing for the leagues and other groups that are so commercial and political.

I still post and read here, but just wanted to say "Thank you for everything"

~Keilyn

[Splash]

Great knowing you guys, and many others. Good luck to all you guys for the future.

[DreXxiN]

Thank you everyone. I love this community and could never ask for anything better. I've opened my eyes to the world and have grown much wisdom since I began and a lot of it is thanks to who I met on PSU. You all will never be forgotten.

[Aka]

R.I.P PC/PS2 servers...

[Cranberry]

I'm taking this harder than I thought I would. I can't stop the tears.

[Bomber The Cosmonaut]

I'm taking this harder than I thought I would. I can't stop the tears.

You and I both. ;o;

[Sinue_v2]

There will come a time when you believe everything is finished... that will be the beginning. ~ Louis L'Amour

At any rate, thanks for the fun send-off guys.

[Mimo]

I'm taking this harder than I thought I would. I can't stop the tears.

There there, it's all over now D:!! -hugs- :cry:

[Jarek]

So long, PSU.

[Ash1ey]

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't going to miss it!! And OMG Ashley's blast from the past made my day!!! =D

It made mine, too

[Azure Falcon]

Even though I started late and didn't play anywhere near as much as most people I'm still going to miss PSU a huge amount.

Thanks to the GMs for putting on some fun events to let PSU PC/PS2 go out with some dignity, particularly Ruby for managing to be around more than Edward - that hoverboard race was probably the most fun I've ever had on PSU even though I couldn't work out what the accelerator was for 20 seconds.

[Ashura Vengeance]

I will continue to enjoy offline mode.>_> <_<

[DreXxiN]

Haha yeah, I know what you mean. It's definitely a strange feeling..Anyone else try to reconnect afterwords and were stunned in disbelief knowing "Wow, I can't reconnect..and I never will be able to again."

[Noblewine]

Thanks for kickin' ass with me for so long, bro.


NP, cya on psz.

[Splash]

Haha yeah, I know what you mean. It's definitely a strange feeling..Anyone else try to reconnect afterwords and were stunned in disbelief knowing "Wow, I can't reconnect..and I never will be able to again."

Yep. Did that and got that same feeling too. =(

[Quebe_Lae]

Yup tried to reconnect. I actually didn't cry, thouhg I expected myself to. Though I cried a little bit earlier, about a weekish ago?

[BWS-1]

That all-too-familiar feeling... it isn't as bad as I expected, though it did catch me by surprise. The disconnection so sudden.

Like a bullet to the head.

[DreXxiN]

I'm thankfully not breaking out like I did when Gamecube died..and I think a lot of people that went down with that ship were expecting to feel the same. It's similar but not as impactful, we've all grown to be stronger people. Still though, crazy stuff...

[Illuminate]

I'm taking this harder than I thought I would. I can't stop the tears.


You and I both. ;o;

Bleh, I don't cry all that much anymore.
I wonder where the tears went.

Either way, it was a good time, albeit, strange.

[milranduil]

That all-too-familiar feeling... it isn't as bad as I expected, though it did catch me by surprise. The disconnection so sudden.

Like a bullet to the head.
This really does nail it on the head...that message just pops up, and it's over...

[Illuminate]

What ticks me off is how easily they did it.
And how quick. No warning, after the five minute warning, they didn't do anything more.

I swear, SEGA just likes to be the jagged pebbles under your feet.

[Mimo]

PSU: "Don't cry for me... I'm already dead."

PSU disconnected, couldn't stop staring at the screen.. some guy was still dancing... e.e

[tadtwisted]

I'm on the xbox side so i dont feel you pain ( YET ), but when i went to the offical website and it showed the pc/ps2 servers offline and knowing they wont go online again i felt sick to my stomach

[Shou]

April Fools!!!
[SPOILER-BOX]
They are closing the Xbox servers too!!!
[/SPOILER-BOX]

[Metsume]

The people I met, the memories we made... I'll never forget them. Four years of such an adventure... Our memories are forever in our hearts...

Goodbye, PSU. Thank you for everything... :)


PSU: "Don't cry for me... I'm already dead."

PSU disconnected, couldn't stop staring at the screen.. some guy was still dancing... e.e

Hahah... I saw that guy, too. :) And I couldn't stop staring, either... I knew that was the last time I would see everyone...

[Rayokarna]

I guess this is it.

No other words to say really. I'll miss the people I hung out with.

-Rayokarna

[SabZero]

*salutes* God speed, PSU. You shall be missed. sad face.

[Pooru.]

I have to agree with most, it is saddening yet you dont know what you have until its gone, but I say it isnt gone forever im sure our paths will cross again!

[Ail]

R.I.P.

[DarkShadowX]

Shame I couldn't stick around for the end myself (left my char on afk tho for others' sakes) but it was a great run.

Its still early morning, so I'll just be lazy and copy and post a comment I made when they first announced the server closure:
And with this the curtain comes to a close. While its sad to see this happen, it was a long time coming due to the sheer lack of updates and support we got from SEGA. I can only hope that they do indeed focus on updating the 360 version of the game even tho I won't be restarting on 360. I'd hate for them to update the game a bit then suddenly stop for months on end (Eternal X-Mas PSOX anyone?). I'll play on the PC/PS2 Servers til the end and finally hang my PSU hat for good, no 360 or JP servers for me.

This game, for all of its obvious faults and sadly unused potential, was a fun game for me either way and a great run and gave me some good memories and friends who I still stay in contact with. I'll be glad to give this game a good send off, one that I never got the chance to do for any of the versions of PSO. While I look forward to a possible release of US/EU PSP2, I hope for a new installment to the Phantasy Star series, and hope they learn from their mistakes so that the next one will be a game truly worth playing, whether it be an offline RPG or an ORPG. PSO and PSU gave me a great load of memories, both happy and sad, and a great many friends. These past 10 years playing these 2 games seem like they only happened yesterday, but also seem like they were so far gone. I thank everyone I've played with on either game, and who I've talked to on the forums. YOU made this game worth playing.

I'll still be checking on PSOW every now and then so I hope you all keep in touch. Til next we meet.... PSO Veteran from DC Day 1: Outtrigger (DC) and Karsh (GC) PSU Veteran from Day 1: DarkShadowX (Cast) 10/24/2006-03/31/2010 R.I.P. PSU

[Retehi]

Weird to think all that work put into ones character is gone in a microsecond.

I'd of tried to join in, but installing AoTI altered my direct X files way to much. Still, happy trails.

ah such a shame you couldnt join but, I have a hard time believing its over heh its keeping me up, guess I took PSU for granted thinking it'd always be there ^^;:-(

[Dragwind]

I'm amazed at all the people who showed up. I'm so glad I have tons of screenshots and videos for memories...thanks to everyone who made my PSU experience amazing right from the start.

TO PSU!

Farewell PC/PS2 PSU...

Fight on. We'll join forces again.

[Neith]

Considering the game felt crippled for a long time, I'm surprised it lasted so long. Here's to all the people who made PC/PS2 great, I've met a lot of nice people over the last few years. Met a lot of idiots too, but I'm trying to focus on the positive :wacko:

See you all in the next online Phantasy Star game (preferably PC?). I'm playing PSP2 JP now, but not having a decent keyboard is hell.

Thanks for the run, and RIP PC/PS2 PSU.

[Ashura Vengeance]

Goodbye PSU hello PSP2 JP.
All in all even though I wasn't here from the start i'm glad I got to party with a lot of decent people and got to kick a ton of ass.
Yeah!

[Dhylec]

Well, it's sad to see it gone, but life goes on. We will survive. ;3

[Xefi]

good bye PSU and my 3000+ hrs. in that game. :p

[Mighty Earth Sage]

I miss everyone already......

[Or10n]

Gosh why am I so depressed about this?! lol

T_T;

[ChaosAngel92]

All of the sudden I feel so sad, even If I stopped playing about 1 year and a half (aprox.)

Yeah well, PSU was there on my most difficult times.
And I remember back when I was on senior high, that my only wish was to get home and play PSU till my eyes explode.

Remembering all of that,, all those sleepless nights helping others to level up, makes me tear a little bit, and I swear I'm not kidding.

Still:

CHEER UP PEOPLE! LOOK FORWARD TO PSP2 (that's THE mother ---- game, seriously).

(what on earth is happening with forums?!)

[Tubby]

Goodbye all my friends, we shall see what awaits us in the future to come! Lots of love and hugs!!!! ~Ginger Hotspice, Hot Bot, Lolita, Sky!!!

[Nicktendonick]

April fools day I assume.

It's been one hell of a ride PSU, and I've had so much fun playing this game. Shame I didn't play much for the last two years (yet still paid for it)

I've had a ton of fun and many memories, and those will never fade.

See you next universe PSU!

[Sexy_Raine]

It's been fun for those who I did runs with, I might take a peek here occasionally just to see whats going on. I'll be on my PS3 mostly, killing nubs online.

One more thing. Segduh fails! That is all.

[ChibiBecca]

these screenshots are helping me see just how packed that lobby was in the end. my ps2 was crying and refusing to load more then about 20 people shapes, and the usual 6-ish fully loaded people. no wonder some people kept lagging out!

[Ce'Nedra]

A sad day in the history of online gaming. :(

R.I.P. PSU, may the holy light guide you to wherever you are going.

[Omega_Weltall]

...good riddance. I'm sorry, but its just been one big disappointment after another. I feel as if SEGA dosent give a fuck about its NA audience enough to care about updating it. It was a long time coming and now its done, I don't have to sit and wait for promised updates that never come. As much as I love Phantasy Star and prefer it over Final Fantasy, I am NEVER buying another Phantasy Star game with the STIGMA of some sort of online play slapped on it.

[Pelayo]

Goodbye, see you all in the next PS generation

[LanCow13]

LanVanDam HERE!

yea it was a good run i had fun with this game hopefully the next phantasy star game that comes out keeps my attention like this one did I ALSO am a DC PSO player so i been in the game for years lol

[Zorafim]

So... When's PSP2 coming out?

Heartfelt last words? I've got nothing. It's choking, but most of the pleasure I've had from this game was in anticipation. And even after PSU's death, I'm still anticipating something I may never get. I'm not going to look back on a game which always made me look forward.

And any seriousness of my post is completely nullified by the fact that my text is either flashing, giant, or backwards. Good game, admins.

[Ail]

i almost forgot..

http://asset.soup.io/asset/0760/0697_b7df.png

[W0LB0T]

I wanted to show up for one last shebang, but I physically couldn't play PSU anymore. I literly boot up the game and I fall asleep. Oh well. Plus I would have been at work by the time the pulled the plug. Oh well. No need to dwell on the past. I'm looking foward to the future. Portable 2 and Phantasy Star Sigma is here I come.

[RemiusTA]

over? what are you talking about PSU isnt over



oh wait PS2/PC yeah sorry guys

[autumn]

I'd say I'm sad to see it go, but I'm not really. It was in bad shape and its probably better that its been laid to rest. After the mess this was I don't know if I'll be interested in another Phantasy Star game, so I don't know if I'll see any of you in the future.

A shame I didn't make it on for the final moments though, I did want to get screens of the end.

[Clint]

Goodbye AOTI-PSU RIP And to all the people, I will miss you all :( perhaps see ya on Xbox360 Hope Sega doesn't yank the plug on that after all the hard work >:

-Clint :-P

[Redpaige13]

I did more shit on that day then I ever had in the last three months. I was busy swapping info to keep connected with friends, doing random missions with friends, and taking as many pictures as I could.

When Edward appeared at the Falz Memorial, my friends and I basically said "Fuck it", and we ran off to do a mission.
During our last mission, I took as many pictures as I could.

We all went to the Waterfall for the last 20 minutes, where we all pained and glorified the game. Then I took a picture of the Disconnection screen.

I guess you can say I'm more pissed off than anything else. Mostly because out of all the pictures I took of that day, only one was saved in my folder. And that was the Disconnection screen.

[roardova lengths]

I'm a guardian for life; on all 11 of my characters; I'll be back when the new game comes out. If Sega has enough intelligence to pull it off...

[Retniwreven]

Farewell, PC/PS2.
We've had some good times...
I'll miss you, and everyone I played with.

[Nai_Calus]

And one last, resounding message was heard throughout the Gurhal system:

42.

[dias_flac_0g]

My greatest momments in PC psu were when we all had 99 mill mesetas like nothing back when everyone was haxing like nothing making Pwands and such way before they were ever released xD

I loved that time in PC psu and i'm not even being sarcastic lol.

[CyberMaid]

Do i have to buy a 360 now? :( bah...

Bye bye PSU! ( ' - ')/


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko9-MxnFIy4

[Lance813]

Well, I played PC for a while back when it came out then again when AOI came out. I don't think I ever ran into anyone that comes here in game. I will say one thing.

The game had it's charm.

For me it wasn't like PSO, but what could I expect? I wasn't upset that it wasn't like PSO, but hell it sure ended the same. I didn't even bother to log in on the last day.

I logged in for a day or two once the game became free, but I couldn't bring myself to do anything in game. I just kept checking an empty friends list of people that never got back on.

I miss them.

Some were friends I made on PSO and others where just random people.

I'm not sure why I'm writing a long eulogy for a game I never really cared much for...

I still have hope for the future of the Phantasy Star series, and frankly I can't wait for the next console release.

Well, I got that off my chest. I guess I'll stop now.

[BahnKnakyu]

It ain't over yet.

There ARE alternatives, it's if whether or not you're willing to spend the time and money to start over/get a new system.

- X360
- JP PC/PS2

And imo the most enjoyable choice
- JP PSP2

PSP2's gameplay is just downright solid.

Will you take the plunge?

[Katrina]

Here's an old pic I found in an album from the first week or so of PSU.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. Good luck to everyone :-)

Ah, I'll miss this game. It was nice to be there at the very end.

[lostinseganet]

They should have treated their customers better! We shouldn't have to pay to be treated worse...

[ZIE creations]

Yo, it's a dude from the 360 servers. WE NEED YOU!!!
THERES TO MANY WHITE BEAST NOOBS HELP!!!

[SStrikerR]

It's a weird feeling here. I took breaks from PSU all the time, and the last time I felt the urge to play was around the second MAG. Even though I don't have the urge to play at all right now, it feels weird knowing that I can't play again, even if I wanted to. Everything's gone. I can remember some of my items and things like that, but it actually really depresses me that I was on PS2. I wish I had been a PC player so I could have taken screenshots of all the memories I don't want to forget. I met some awesome people on PSU and had an insane amount of fun; I'm going to miss it. But hey, there'll be another console Phantasy Star eventually...hopefully it's as fun as PSO and PSU have been.

C'ya PSU. I had a good 3 years.

I stopped back in like january it was a good game but in my opinion it was rushed to much owell I have discovered the classic PSO play style on PSZ and im happy.

[goldbrease]

its over till the next time. hopefully it wont be to long.
i enjoyed my time with everyone. iwould like the next one to be on the ps3 and pc please.

Hey, don't forget the 360 :wacko:

On topic, I have a feeling the 360 servers will be following suit. I logged on randomly one Saturday after 5 months and it was sooooooooo dead. Won't be much longer before we get the news.

[SStrikerR]

http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=i28UEoLXVFQ

Nah. I know what I had. A good game with shitty management. I'm glad it's over. I just have a lot of memories.

[Tyreek]

Gonna agree with you there SStrikerR.

[Robert_Garcia]

I would've LOVED to be able to play this. However, finding the game was a royal pain. I'd get the 360 version, however, I recall that you had to pay an additional fee along with the XBL subscription.

[Palle]

I'd get the 360 version, however, I recall that you had to pay an additional fee along with the XBL subscription.
Well, you still have to pay for a GL to access the servers, but you play online with a Silver [free] Live account. Not sure if that's what you meant.
