"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!"

The Phantasy Star Universe and Sega of America website became inaccessible a few hours ago. At the moment it appears no one is able to connect to the PC/PlayStation 2 or Xbox 360 servers. According to the Japanese Xbox 360 page, the Japanese team is aware of the trouble and believes it is an "issue with an American ISP." There is currently no timetable for when the game servers will be accessible again. This story will be updated as new information becomes available.
Update #1: Word has come in from SEGA via momonpso, one of the moderators at the official PSU message board, that the problem is a Silicon Valley-wide internet outage caused by a cut fiber optic cable. For more information, please see the full story at CNET.
Update #2: According to a post by RubyEclipse, the Sega website and official forums are now accessible.
Update #3: The Xbox 360 and PC/Playstation 2 servers are now back online.
Update #4: A large number of people are experiencing laggy playing conditions and disconnections on the PC/Playstation 2 and Xbox 360 servers. In addition, it appears the fiber optic cable cut was an act of sabotage.
Update #5: Based on the input from several people, it appears that most of the server latency has been removed.
Update #6: Despite the servers being generally accessible, players may still be prone to disconnects and other common connection issues. After a few updates, the Japanese Xbox 360 page still mentions the possibility of problems communicating with the servers. AT&T reports that full restoration should be apparent soon to their customers in the affected areas.
Update #7: A short maintenance was reported to have been held on Friday. As of now, any issues that may have resulted from the sabotage as far as the PSU servers are concerned should be taken care of.
As reported in Japan and locally, the seasonal Easter lobbies will be posted starting tomorrow. They'll be running for two weeks (until April 16th). During this time, players will have a chance to see Rappy Paska out and about. Remember that the White Day lobbies will be going down tonight, so this will be the last chance to search for Jaggo Amure until next year!

Discussion is taking place here in the forums.

Update: As reported*here, players have found a few previously unavailable drops. [B] Conic is a 150+ AMF Metro Linear area drop (found in the last section of SEED Express S2). Cati / Rainbow is a Phantom Fissure S clear box drop.
The newest Mission Spotlight has been recently announced. The featured quest this time around is Duel in the Ruins (accessed from the Foran Waterfall lobby on Parum). Players running on Leo (Guide) or Caelum servers have a chance to win a variety of items during this time. Prizes include Casino Voloyal coins, rare items, and more.

Best of luck to everyone!*
Wow, if this question was asked 10 years ago, I'd have a definite answer right away. But as of now, my best advice is to check the ID section for guides
