Blue Burst server shutdown

[FireFox276]

I bring news that the official Blue Burst servers are going to be shutdown on March 31st 2008. This is a sad bit of news I must say.

i saw the new on pso-world, if the ppl that have accounts still play, in february the fee will cease to exist (i think)

Well this is what happens when you give incredibly poor support to your game... no one will wanna use your servers if there's a fee... XD Aw well... I never played on the official server for Blue Burst except for Open beta time... Mainly cause I was enjoying GCN PSO too much. XD

Honestly I'm not surprised at all by this. They really ****ed up with the US servers. They probably could have kept them alive for much longer if they actually cared. I dont know, maybe sega likes pissing away possibilities for cash.

The xbox pso servers being up have nothing to do with why they arent supported by schthack and a lot more to do with xbl. All the packets for PSOX go through xbox live, which causes a lot of problems. To get it to work they'd either have to bypass xbl or emulate it which would be suicide.

message too short

hmmm, i cannot wait for the 50 topics on schtBB saying "ZOMG cannots connect helps!!!1!1!!1!!!!"

but that wont happen, sega BBers will move to PSU to give sega yet more of there cash x.x

ppl on the official servers where getting to many servers maintenances, ppl where paying a fee not to play, so i could not expect less.

I still find it really sad that one person is more proficient at hosting a server for 5 different versions of a game than an entire major gaming company. There really is no excuse for that one there, Sega.
