Hi,
I have heard many rumours about Microsoft releasing a Patch on the XBox version of PSO to prevent hackers! Is this actually true? If so, when is the patch going to be downloadable?

Thanx.

A patch can't prevent hackers. What they might do is an update/sweep like blizzard does, where they erase all duplicate and/or hacked items on the server at the time.

I'm not sure if they could do that though ^_^;

They can't All PSO games will have hacked/duped items all the time. End of story.

A Character Sweep would be pretty darn difficult if not impossible since Sega does not use server-side saving.

On the flip side...Sega could release a v1.1 version like the Japanese Gamcube version. they could remove the npc in the shop and fix problems related to all the other various dupehack methods etc.. usb mem cards, lag, shop etc..

However, Sega mainly did that because someone discovered the bug in the Japanese version right after release. Since the Gamecube version has been out for quite some time, I doubt they would release any update. Although we can always hope for an append disk.
