"The reason is because alot of are customers have been complaining about our double save patch corrupting their files, so we have granted free access to PSO from August 5th till September 9th.
Posted on:11:01 am on Aug. 6, 2003""

[b]UPDATE: This is a hoax. Someone hacked into the sega message board admin account and posted this to fool PSO users, so there is no free time.

WTF??? IS SOME PULLING A PRANK HERE OR IS THIS REAL. Sonic Team interfearing with the online game apart from the maintenance? If this is a joke, someone ought to be realistic about they're pranks you know. If this is true then God help us all. Does this mean that theyre getting rid of the double save?

Wow thats cool but still does make me feel any better about going online...

Agreed. To me this is just a little consolation. Is it impossible to get rid of the double save? Wasnt that originally implemented in Version 2 to eliminate the Gameshark? Even then the Xploder circumvented that. C'mon, people are still duping, hacking, and using max stat and multi equip cheats. Just get rid of the double save, it only hurts us, and does 0 to help.

Does this mean that even if I don't have an HL I could get on right now for free?

I think that it just might be impossible to get rid of the double save...

[bordering]

whaaaaa? is this some kind of joke? i don't see an annoucement on that site...

[Castoth]

Doesn't say anything there about free PSO at all. Heck, last announement is still from March. O_o

[Castoth]

Nevermind. Here is the more accurate link. :P
