Right on the heels of Tuesday's MAG+ announcement comes some saddening news for the local PC/PS2 Phantasy Star Universe servers. GM Edward posted on the official forum that the English PC/PS2 servers will be closing Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Next week's update on January 29 will be the PC/PS2 version's final update.

As of January 29, 2010, no new PC/PS2 subscriptions will be available for purchase, however any players who are subscribed as of that time will be able to continue playing for free for the remaining two months until service is ended. Keep in mind that this applies only to the PC/PS2 version of Phantasy Star Universe. The Xbox 360 version will continue to be supported with future content updates.
PSOW user Artea has created a thread detailing this news. Feel free to join the discussion to share your memories of the game's past or vent your frustrations (responsibly, of course).

RIP English PC/PS2 PSU
October 24, 2006 - March 31, 2010

Well that sucks if you're the owner of the PC or PS2 version. I guess the Xbox 360 version must be doing well enough to keep it running, so that's good.

That's unexpected. As far as I know, the PSO Blue Burst servers are still running.

I wonder if the 360 version is really going to see new content?

I honestly forgot the 'Universe' titled game even existed. Cool that the 360 version is going to stay up though. Wonder how many people are playing in on a daily basis.

Blue Burst servers have been closed for about two years now.

Oh. Then why do I keep getting psoadmin emails about stuff happening in BB? There was one this morning!

Ah, I see. Maybe when they say they're shutting down servers, they only shut down the western ones, even though we had to wait longer to start playing in the first place :( DC PSO felt like almost a simultaneous release by typical RPG standards, yet the wait for PS Zero has been stupid. I think Europe is still waiting for it!

There are ways to continue to play Blue Burst, by the way.

It's funny I rejoined PSU on the pc about 3 weeks ago.

Oh well, at least I'll get to play for free for a bit and say goodbye to my characters and all my hard work.

I know someone who has played Phantasy Star Universe on 360 almost religiously since it came out. More often than not when I sign in to Xbox Live I see him playing this game (even as recently as this week). It's amazing how much re-playability some people can get out of this game.
