[SPOILER-BOX]April fools from Sega!
The PC/PS2 servers are currently down, but not forever! Turns out the announcement Sega made about the PC/PS2 servers a few months ago was meant specifically for today, April 1st. The servers are currently under maintenance following the spam and cheating that took place last night amidst the confusion. Expect a rollback when the servers get back up! Update: Servers are back up![/SPOILER-BOX]

Someone clarify, does this mean that the servers going down perm' was just a joke or what?

It was all just big joke made by Sega, obviously.

Because Sega's really going to give us all two free months of the game, just for an April Fools' joke.

Sorry Im not buying it. The servers are down forever. 360 will soon follow. If they dont announce a serious update next week, there will be a mass exoudis from the game. I give the 360 servers six months tops. Once people realise there arent enough players left for any meaningful updates. Then everyone will leave. What we have now is what we get. Its a shame too.

They will be milking us now!

Oh Im sorry theyve been doing that for about two years now. Well they will at least hold out for a couple of more drops!

It makes perfect sense, Events happen every few months or longer.
The game itself (Which means no Events going on.) Is the actual game.

When there are no events and the "Actual game." is going on, it's not even 5 stars on one server in population.

And i've found it, extremely difficult to find parties for much of anything as of recent, even S ranks at White Beast are hard to come by now.

Why are you PC players so upset? They always make comments like "Yea 360 servers are next"

We all know 360 servers are next seeing as they are the only ones left.

Seriously stop being so upset. Bottom line is we can still; enjoy psu and you can't. I'm sorry I know the truth hurts. Live with it or cry moar jeez.

That said i'm sure we have atleast a year left of life in our servers. Better than what PC has now =P

It make me chuckle.

At least their April Fools is a hell of a lot better than the Official Forums' idea. Shit man.. Just one look at that Rainbow-colored barf makes my eyes want to retch themselves.

Please don't lump us altogether; The pc/ps2 side isn't a collective intellegence that share a single ideal like the Borg from Star Trek.

PC servers are still up JP-side, neh? Sure it means starting over for some players [shit, with all the people jumping on the wagon I'm tempted to hook up my NTSC-J PS2 and resub myself]... but they can still enjoy if they like.

Oh wow...that is depressing. Kinda reminds me of what happened in the PC servers.. ><

But our doom was foreshadowed years ago.

I think people beleiving that the game would be back is the better joke than the joke itself.

There was five stars last night, hardly a peek time and several groups were running Awaken Serpent. It's been a while since I seen any group running that.

Even if 360 does not have x stars in each server, what matters is how many subrscibers there are, and I know of a bunch of people that pay the subcription all the year and play only on events, only because they don't want to deal with Microsoft's billing service :wacko:

Did you see SEGA's trailer for the next Virtua Fighter? That was pretty ace.

But PSUpedia's gag was worth it just to see all the "that's not funny!" fanrage here. What's the matter, too soon? ;P


(and the gag on PSUpedia's forums was even better yesterday. Beep boop!)
