English PC/PS2 PSU Servers Closing March 31, 2010

If I could transfer my character to OFFLINE, you know, like back in PSO where a character could be used online and/or offline anywhere, I'd be happy. Well, content. It doesn't look like that's gonna happen either. This is worst than the death of the Dreamcast PSO ver2 servers...

I might add to clarify that all of the new content they are enjoying in Japan is PC only but can be partially enjoyed by PS2 players. What are the chances you'll see these updates on XBox? Sadly...non. Lets see how long they last on zero updates...

And with this the curtain comes to a close. While its sad to see this happen, it was a long time coming due to the sheer lack of updates and support we got from SEGA. I can only hope that they do indeed focus on updating the 360 version of the game even tho I won't be restarting on 360. I'd hate for them to update the game a bit then suddenly stop for months on end (Eternal X-Mas PSOX anyone?).
I'll play on the PC/PS2 Servers til the end and finally hang my PSU hat for good, no 360 or JP servers for me. This game, for all of its obvious faults and sadly unused potential, was a fun game for me either way and a great run and gave me some good memories and friends who I still stay in contact with. I'll be glad to give this game a good send off, one that I never got the chance to do for any of the versions of PSO.
While I look forward to a possible release of US/EU PSP2, I hope for a new installment to the Phantasy Star series, and hope they learn from their mistakes so that the next one will be a game truly worth playing, whether it be an offline RPG or an ORPG.
PSO and PSU gave me a great load of memories, both happy and sad, and a great many friends. These past 10 years playing these 2 games seem like they only happened yesterday, but also seem like they were so far gone. I thank everyone I've played with on either game, and who I've talked to on the forums. YOU made this game worth playing. I'll still be checking on PSOW every now and then so I hope you all keep in touch.
Til next we meet....

Amen.

Can I throw my hat in for petition of character transfers... =/
My long time love...You will be missed...
Here is to a great run guys...Lets stay friends forever!! =D

The Transfer Characters to 360 idea is nice and all, but I'm not going to shell out the money for not only a new system but also having to pay for a new game + an expansion only to have endless winter and then a few months later for the whole server to shut down. I learned my lesson with PSO, stick with one system cause when one server goes down the rest will soon follow >>.

Hopefully they will fully unlock offline mode and give us a common box so that those of us who can't/don't want to buy a 360 just for PSU so we can at least enjoy some of the new weapons we never got (tiga de ragan >>), though i don't have high hopes ;_;

Lets just say that no matter how good the game was, if it isn`t shut down in a humane manner how can you expect people to play the sequal/follow ups? give the people thier chars in offline mode at least, you just go ahead and delete them & your deleting your future sales! and remmember also, all 360 players are going to watch how you treat pc/ps2 players, I haven`t stopped paying for this game since it came out & i do not expect to just have my 5000+ hours of time deleted with nothing to show for it! i am sure there are players on pc/ps2 with a lot more time clocked up
and how the F can you deprive them of not seeing the weapons released that we have waited years for?

Well it was fun while it lasted guess I should dust off my subscription >_> Sega is the worst -_-;

good job sega, kill the US player base.

lol This is ridiculous but -sigh- i been saying this most of my time on PSU and it especially aplies ao...SEGAC FAILS...plain and simple. But meh w/e i'm done with SEGAC and PSU so i'll be awaiting to play FF 14 at least square knows how to run an MMO properly from what i hard from my buddies who play FF11.

come to psobb ultima guys its awsome

well shucks, i missed the cutoff date (jan 29th) to re-sub; RIP LadyDatura!!!

Actually, i missed that as well... and a month of the free time caused by the same misunderstanding =_=
in reality, we can both log inn and start playing at anytime before they close down, as long as we had a subscription sometime along the PSU lifetime
