So, PSO2 is gonna be online only and the character data is going to be saved to servers. Does this mean that once servers decide to shut down, my characters will never be accessible again?

Yep. Now duck for making a new PSO2 thread.
Okay thanks. Now I know not to buy the game. Looks like I'm sticking with good ol' Ep. 1 & 2 for the rest of my life.
What?
Not playing a game just 'cause it's online only?
Please explain.

so keeping characters in a game for 10+ years is more important than playing it the way its meant to be played?
Uhmm...
Unless you're sitting on the gamecube version... Which ironically in my case I lost all of my character data when it was still ACTIVE due to data curruption which turned out to be common for PSO. I'm sure playing on that illegal server isn't much better.
PSO2 I'm going to assume will last a good decade. This game looks WAY too amazing to just say "Oh no they're not gonna do X, so I'm not even gonna bother buying it." Sometimes I wonder how you guys call yourselves phantasy star fans when you say stuff like that.
At least try the game before you say it's ruined because it's not easy to hack and you can't keep your character data longer than 15 years. But if your reasoning is that petty, I guess no one will miss you anyway. D:
AYY. All you nillas days is numbered.
I'm sure that the PC version will have legs well after the private servers get shut down & certain other 'ahem' public servers will pick up the slack...cough.....sorry, I have a cold.
Just remember that this is how pso was intended to be played. Legit.

I play offline only on GC (though I do have another memory card I use for online play on said servers... Sue me). My last character corruption was in like 06/07. And I'm sorry, I have been taking breaks from GC for long periods of time over the years. One of the reasons I keep coming back is because I can.
BB did the same thing didn't it? I couldn't imagine one day just not having my characters anymore. I will most likely try this game out, if it's good enough I may stick with it. But playing the games is a big enough waste of time, I'd rather have something to show for all that time (YES, even if it is some items and levels that only I care about).
I do really want to play PSO2 because PSO has always had the best community of people ever (I love you guys), but I don't know.... It's just a back in my head thought I've always had. I can't shake it, I know somebody must share this frustrating feeling.
Edit: Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure I've never played PSO unlegit, except for having the couple characters designated for the private servers, but gear and everything has stayed on the memory card that found it.

I still my character saves from the Dreamcast. I never play it because there's no point at all. PSO sucks in offline mode.
