      I find amusing how you hide behind an anonymous post.

      You do have a point about a DC PSO Server emulator/homebrew, but you do realise it's not an easy task to acomplish such a complex program, especially since most of the data packets transfered around are encrypted.

      Barubary said he will make a new server, and make it so V.1 and 2 people can talk with Episode 3, Episode 1&2, PC, XBOX, etc.

      It was in the post about Oberon's last Stand.

      Sorry, but I don't think a petiotion will change anything, because of ST themselves. But, I will sign it, and get my buddies to sign it as well.

      I hope this petition works.

      I have signed, and I'll tell some of my friends that never read the news to sign as well. But I must ask one thing. Do we really think this petition will affect anything? If Sonic Team wants to close the server, requests saying not to might not be enough.

      There's always someone who's immature.

      Yet, there's also fanboys who say the GC is better than the Xbox and DC versions.

      It's the same game (granted the Xbox and GC versions have more things), so each should enjoy it in the platforms they have while leaving the others alone without "fanboyisms".

      It wouldn't be that hard, actually. I could do it myself, if I had the cypher (which Barybary did indeed crack), and a listing of the protocols.

      Online play is a priviledge, not a right. This especially goes for PSO V1 players since the service is offered for free. ST is not going to support a bunch of servers that do not bring any revenue.

      As stated by the other commenters, a user-made server is the only way PSO V1 and V2 can still be played online.

      I tried to hold on, but the lobbies are empty, the good players are in locked games, and the rejects are still hackin' folks. I sold v.1 & 2 this past wk'nd. I play just GC now, but maybe Xbox in the future. I was suprised I was able to sell them, considering they'll be old news soon. Good luck on those homemade servers though.

      Let the old girl die for christs sake. Though, player run servers is a nifty idea.

      <p style="font:bold 20px arial">To me this just seems counter productive as you are asking Sega to put resources/people into keeping V1 alive(which is dead -- get over it).

      <p style="font:bold 20px arial">Sega could use those resources to help make the next version of PS(O) that much better. Of course I'm not talking about EPIII, but the next PS game that ST is supposedly already developing.

      It would be nifty if Sonic Team could at least gear up the servers to refer the game to player-run servers, not unlike what Synthetic-Reality does with Well of Souls (not a bad freeware MOLRPG-- heavily customizable, even).

      I never knew the Dreamcast got to play online for free. It makes me jealous. But Why can't Sonic Team start charging them and have everything work out?
