 lollipoplolita writes, "ST announced some interesting news! According to Sega's Web Site and the new May issue of Game Gather, the first World-Wide PSO Episode 3 tournament is to be held in June. The official name of this tournament is "F1 Gran Prix - Who Is the World's Strongest Team?" This tournament, unlike the previous two, is different in that it will be a Team Tournament. So you'd better be tailoring your decks together with a friend if you want to make it anywhere in this tournament! The preliminary point rounds will be spread over 3 days, unlike the marathons that heralded the last two tournaments. Dates are as follows: June 2nd 10 PM - 1 AM JST
June 3rd 10 PM - 1 AM JST
June 4th 10 PM - 1 AM JST The qualifiying teams then play on to the main Tournament date on June 6th from 6 PM JST The winning team then also plays an exhibition match against the Game Gather Staff after the finals are over. Who knows what kind of decks these guys will bring to the field? 
ST also announced that there will be additions and changes to the lobby jukeboxs. For this, there will be a server maintenance on Thursday, May 6th from 2pm til 5pm (JST). Please do not connect to the servers at this time and please end all games before the scheduled maintenance. This will affect both PSO Ep 1&2 and PSO Ep 3. There are no changes to PSO Ep 1&2. "

 Jack writes, "News from Sega.com!
Beginning October 1, 2003 the online services for Phantasy Star Online Dreamcast version 1 & 2 will be discontinued. The PSO US Dreamcast server (11:US/Oberon) will continue to operate and will be maintained until 9/30/03. However, starting September 30, 2003 at 11:59pm (Japan Time), 7:59am(US Pacific Time), the server will be disconnected and no players will be able to log into the game server.
The message boards have always been an integral part of the PSO community and they will continue to operate until 10/1/03.
If you have a valid Hunters License as of October 1, 2003 and after, you will receive credit for the charge against the credit card you used at the time of renewal. This credit will be issued around November 1, 2003.
Although this has been a difficult business decision, we know it is necessary to allow our valuable production resources to work on new games. On behalf of Sonic Team here at Sega, we would like to thank you for making PSO an unforgettable experience. You have brought us much joy and many wonderful memories. We invite you to try PSO on GameCube and Xbox and share your knowledge and skills with other PSO gamers so your legacy will continue to live on. "
Goodbye PSODC =(

 Linkooseven writes, "Yup, you read that right. On November 27th, in Japan, PSO Episode I&II Plus will be sold. What is PSO EpI&II Plus you ask? It's just a minor change to PSO EpI&II, bringing some of your favorite online quest, like The Tower Quest, to the offline mode. It is not certain if this allows quest in the offline multiplayer mode, but this is interesting news.
Along with PSO EpI&II Plus, PSO EpIII will be released. Yeah, you read that right, November 27th is the release date for Phantasy Star Online Episode III in Japan! Importers, start your modded Gamecubes!"
ST released information noting that PSO Plus will be available on November 27, 2003 for 3,980 yen.
According to the new ST PSO PLUS Webpage, PSO Ep. I & II Plus will feature:
- Character and item data is completely transferable data from Ep 1 and 2 similar to how Ver 1 data could be transferred to Ver 2 DCPSO.
- Game will run on the same Ep 1&2 servers, meaning you can still say hi and play with friends who are on the regular Ep 1 and 2 version.
- The currently online only quests such as Seat of the Heart, East Tower and West Tower and will therefore be available for offline play.
- A completely new never seen before Ep 2 Challenge Mode. Stages 1 - 5 that will span across VR Temple, VR Spacechip and Gal Da Val island to be availble offline only in PSO Plus (Ep2 C-Mode will be available online soon on Ep 1 and 2).
- GBA online only minigame downloads that are already available in the EP 1 & 2 version such as Chao Garden, Nights Score Attack and Puyo Pop and will therefore be available for offline play.
- Other non disclosed offline content.
This is so that PSO Ep 1 & 2 players will still get great new content while those who choose to get Ep 3 can enjoy a new gameplay. Sega would also like to note that they are proud to have the largest online network console game with 600,000 registered members. The storyline will still be expanded with Episode 1 quests adveturing in Ragol and Episode 2 quests adventuring in Gal Da Val islands. There are no exact news on new additional items other than the new items that will be dropped by the new Control Tower enemies. Join the ongoing discussion on this news in our forums.

lollipoplolita writes, " The official Blue Burst website is up and running.The site goes on to say that there will be many new elements to this version of PSO featuring game masters that will establish order in the communities, a new "team system," server side saving to preserve character data, increased polygons, new graphics and new interactivity. The same old 12 character classes still exist and there are no new character classes. The new team system will let you register teams with the server and be known by that team which will enable you to create mini communities. Once you have a team made, you have your own real time chat channel that runs independently of what ship/game you are in. You can view more screenshots of PSOBB in our Screenshots section A new character will appear in the principal's room which introduces a Episode 2 new storyline through a new Episode 2 quest category: "The Principals Prefecture". 
The free closed beta trial will start on Friday, April 9th at 7pm JP time and participants have already been picked. ST apologizes for not being able to cater to everyone. For those of you that made it into the trial, please do not connect tot he game server before the starting time. The ASOBITTO city mall event on Sunday, April 4th, was a huge success and many people showed up to get a chance to play the trial. Closed beta trial kits and special mousepads were distributed to the people who showed up. All 500 kits were given out in less than 20 minutes. "
