It has painfully come to the attention of many PSO players that the servers are due to shut down in an estimated 90 days from this post.
From the depths of Microsoft, information has been uprooted saying that the shut down date is to be scheduled sometime in the 3rd quarter. Well, at the time of this post, it is officially 4 days into the 2nd quarter.
I know most of you probably won't believe this information to be true, but facts are to be seen about it. Have you wondered why it is still Christmas? Also, some said hacker/modders have been getting the NPC error and not getting banned. To be technical, the game tells you that your character contains irregular data and cannot enter the game. It then records the data on the server and boots you from XBox Live. Once is a warning, twice is a ban. There are some who have accumulated over 20 of these error messages, yet they are still online.
It's time to face the truth about the rumors. The servers are going to be shut down. Keep this in mind, as there are a group of players on PSO that are gathering resources to try and have an optional 3 servers up and running to host the game online when the servers are shut off.
To better advance their progress, a topic has been set up at the official XBox Live forums. It can be found in the Games forum underneath Phantasy Star Online. The topic name is "PSO Server Shutdown."
If you want to keep playing PSO, then support the cause that is trying to keep the game running. It may not work, but at least we are trying. Again, the servers are to be shut down in an estimated 90 days from this posting. Loyal fans of the PSO game, please post at the XBox Live forums to better the chances.
