I was just wondering, is there a chance that European, US and Japanese servers will ever link up?

I think it's quite on odd thing to do, isolating each region to its own, and especially in Europe, where most of us can't understand a word of each other's languages.

So you get Blocks with things saying:

FRANCAIS
GERMAN ONLY
UK ONLY

And it gets hard to find a game.

Oh, and just to finish off, does anybody play EU PSOX around here?

I was on the phone to MS to complain about this (and a couple of other things) and they said that it was done so that hacking wouldn't get so widespread on all 3 servers. I told them that it was hacked on day 1 and they were aware of this.

They also said that unless sonic team "patches" the servers hacking won't be stopped, the only way to try and stop them is to use feedback.

The person then said that they are considering merging the servers together if they get enough complaints about it - so call now!

especially the european situation must be a pain. i feel with you, honestly ^_^;

but i dont think they'll ever connect the japanese with other servers... maybe at least us and pal...
hm... would be interesting... to voice chat with some japanese, i could actually practice (both my spoken english and that handful of japanese i know)...

leads to a personal question: how are the australian servers handled? they're seperated for themselfes as well?

Yeah. Im on EU servers too. And it sucks. The french are impossible to reason with, since they cant do nothing but speaking, well, french. Im thinking about leaving PSO-X for GameCube, where I can play with my US friends.

I'm surprised they allow games with any type of fighting and loyalty in France. You know they aren't any good at either.

Best thing about PSOX voice chat 4 good old cmode. Missin: the JPN servers where most ppl that own cmode play(includin japanese and english speakin ppl)
No link 2 JPN servers?!
Voice chat becomes useless all i will b doin is explaining the cmode 2 stupid n00bs that is if there even ever will b a EU cmode block(and that will happen never)
Servers seperate is stupid. And actually the main reason why im not gettin the game. Seperate 2 stop hackin?! Omg lmfffffffffffffffffffffffao
And 4 Japan and USA Word Select (made 2 translate 2 other languages 4 ya not just if u dont have a kb or 2 goddamm 2 lazy 2 type lol) is completly useless. 1 of the good things from dc completly useless.
And like every1 else the last thing i wanna hear trough my mic is some goddamm french http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
I must b completly drunk b4 i buy xbox pso or have money 2 burn http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

I saw Oscar Wilde's grave... it's pretty big... and easy to pick out from the rest in the area... he'd probably have plenty of room to rotate under that huge thing.
