PSO Going Offline for Dreamcast

[Segaman]

Signaling the end of support and services for the last of its Dreamcast online games, Sega.com has announced that Phantasy Star Online and Phantasy Star Online Version 2 will not be playable online as of October 1.

The US Dreamcast PSO server will operate only until 7:59am PT on September 30. From that moment on, players will be unable to log on to the server. Message boards will be operating only until October 1.

Players with a PSO Hunters License valid beyond October 1 will receive a reimbursement around November 1 (to be applied to the credit card used at the time of earlier renewal).

“On behalf of Sonic Team here at Sega, we would like to thank you for making PSO an unforgettable experience. You have brought us much joy and many wonderful memories,” stated Sega on its web site. “We invite you to try PSO on GameCube and Xbox and share your knowledge and skills with other PSO gamers so your legacy will continue to live on.”
