im willing to bet that this is some kind of half ass marketing strategy to see if its worth keeping the PC/PS2 servers up

This would be sad if my characters (which have remained unused for over a year) were on the US servers.
Decade long veteran of PSO, PSO Ep1&2, PSOBB, and PSUJP. Axel or VII will do.
I've been contemplating these past few weeks if I should quit or not. Ah they did it for me.
Ah so this means Phantasy Star Portable 2 announcement and that, *cracks whip* it will have free online play, *cracks whip* it will have regular updates with DLC missions and free items (Vc2), *cracks whip* it will have cash items, and finally *cracks whip* it will have an SoA equivalent to the Japanese exclusive collaboration items.While we are sad to see the PC/PS2 version of Phantasy Star Universe end, the year 2010 is the 10th anniversary of Phantasy Star Online -- and this server / service closure is helping to pave the way for bigger and better things for the Phantasy Star franchise in the very near future!
Missing any of those features will have history repeat itself.
It's unfortunate but inevitable, and while I've come to take anything Sega says with a grain of salt, getting PC/PS2 PSU out of the way to move onto better things makes sense even to me. Even with all of Sega's history, I find it believable that this was a necessary mercy killing.
If what they were hinting at was the announcement of regional PSP2, then they'll have my approval (assuming they don't butcher it to hell and strip it of infrastructure mode--the collabs would be too much to hope for at this point, though). Hopefully their plans for the immediate future add up to more than just announcing the supplemental update for the 360 server, though I hope that those playing there do get it.
I don't know what I'll do. I've been doing other things than PSU--I was planning on playing again for MAG+, but now I'm not sure whether I'm just going to let it go or get the 360 version now and use MAG+ to catch up. In either case, the time's come for me to finish Episode III, and I suppose there's always Phantasy Star Zero and private PSOBB after that. Maybe I'll see some of you there.

Well, we always did say that Sega should merge the PC/PS2 servers with the 360 servers.
They just has a...."different" way of doing it.
Their own, special, SEGA way.
