Those who played the online Phantasy Star games, particularly since the Dreamcast era are in for a sad day, at least if you're without a 360. As of March 31, the PC and PS2 servers will shut down; support will continue for the 360 games "in full and with regular updates", in addition to "currently unreleased and anticipated content."
Before the shutdown, Sega has one more goodie in store for you: the MAG+ event, set for January 29. Details on the later 360 content will be revealed in the coming weeks and months.
In its final farewell to PC and PS2 players in the Phantasy Star Universe, Sega thanks you kindly:
While we are sad to see the PC/PS2 version of Phantasy Star Universe end, the year 2010 is the 10th anniversary of Phantasy Star Online -- and this server / service closure is helping to pave the way for bigger and better things for the Phantasy Star franchise in the very near future!Thank you all again for the support and great times together with us here at SEGA playing PSU! We look forward to seeing you again in our new adventures!
