"While games like World of Warcraft took the world by storm and pushed the genre forward, the Phantasy Star franchise stagnated. PSU still hasn't moved beyond a simple lobby and limited instances for battle. To make matters worse, Phantasy Star Universe suffered from a severe lack of content and places to explore, yet still carried a monthly fee. When the game launched, there were even areas that existed on the disc as part of the single player game that were locked once you went online. Lame."What do you think? Are these comments still valid?
"Hello Everyone,You can share your comments in this on-going forum thread.
As everyone who's posted here already knows, we saw a huge surge in error 060 and error 065 over the weekend. We have support staff here and in SOE looking into this and working on a fix.
For everyone who's already sent in a trouble ticket, thank you for passing along your information. Even if you don't hear back from us right away I promise we are looking into each issue to figure out where the problem is. If you haven't sent in a ticket and are still having login issues, please go ahead and submit to help.sega.com.
For those of you who have an Error 065, please do not attempt to create a new account unless you want to be double-billed. For most of these issues so far, it appears that accounts are valid and paid for, but not being recognized by the system. We have already begun forcing through some of these so that they are recognized, and we are working to figure out why this is happening and a fix to keep it from happening to everyone else.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work on this!"
