I wasn't able to be there when it ended and had to afk through the last 4 hours which was pretty sad (also sorry for not answering any mails =( ), not the last moment I had in mind with this game, really wanted to do something special.

Happy to see some known faces earlier on though, makes me remember the good times I've spent there.

Now its time to try to control the nostalgia and move on.

This thread is sad. Looks like I'll be experiencing the same thing when City of Heroes closes November. T T

Its really sad to see the site closed. =(

I wonder about what is written on it. There is GC on the first banner which makes me wonder if its the conversion to pso2 (AC I guess) they were talking about a while ago.

Here' a Google Translate version of it. Obviously this is not a perfect translation but it gives a general indication of what it says:

And for the dimmed out button:

"Click here for the procedure of conversion and refund unused cache of Guardians (GC)"

So yes the button seems to have been related to handling leftover Guardian's cash, though it doesn't appear to be clickable.

I guess we can expect a small boost in population for PSO2 now that PSU is shut down.

Even though I quit PSU the day Guardians Cash came out years ago, I am a bit sad to see it die. PSU is my most played game ever, at 8000 hours. It was extremely fun and enjoyable to me, and I have a lot of good memories from it.

Tweets from the PSU twitter account put the number of simulatneous connections at 4025 people. I wonder how many people were on in total.

As the button says, this will become available on the 4th in Japan.
