I'm wondering if having more than one person of the same section ID affects the drop rates. like if you had 4 redrias would the chances be 4/22 instead of 1/22? or is that just wishful thinking?

Our connection to SCHTHACK's stopped working, so we need a couple of working DNSs to put into the Primary and Secondary boxes. Please reply quickly >.>

It'd be nice if this was replied to quickly >.>
Ehehe.

Well, it's 23:18 UK time and I'm getting error 102, and my dad says it would make fixing the problem a lot easier if we knew whether it was a problem on our end or theirs. So, the question: Can everyone else get online at the moment?

PS
I saw Christmas decorations flash up in the lobby just as I entered rooms before teh intarwebs failed, so I think the servers might be down for a few minutes to add the decorations for real and sprinkle some St Rappies on Ragol. I'll keep trying to get on until tomorrow.

PPS
Another question, while I'm here: Can you decide what colour your S-Rank will be on V1 GC?

I bought this a little while ago, and its amazing! ive never been that much of a fan of 2d beat em ups, outside of street fighter years ago, but i enjoyed this a great deal, the side scrolling adventures brilliant, and the whole guilty gear universe is something i could really get into, the character designs and histories are fantastic, thats what drew me into soul calibur, and its doing it again here :3
and they threw in guilty gear XX too! so if the side scrolling streets of rage style does grow a little tiresome, you can just sit back and beat seven shades of stuffing out of the other wonderful characters!

First SEGA removed the console PSO servers on april 1st/march 31st (depended on time zone), leaving us only SCHT, then are going to remove the BB servers on the 1 year anniversary of when they removed the console ones, the console ones ran for quite a good number of years, the BB ones only lived for 3, and to top it all off, SEGA boosted drop and EXP rates so people can get rares before the game shuts down, rares they PROBABLY wont be able to use, unless they move to a private server
Sega sucks
hell, i still have my beta disc for it ._.

Well I just wanted to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving.

who wants to ask sega and sonic team a question? whoever does has to be good at programming though. ask them to make another pso with more classes, more characters, more weapons, more quests and more stages. you have to be good at programming because they are going to say no and then you have to ask them if you can make another one. they'll probably still say no but hey at least you can tell people you got to meet with the makers of pso and at least you cna say you did it. Also who knows? they might say yes and we can have some more fun! also remember to put the stuff from blueburst into the new version. call it something cool also.

Even with the lack of updates (no development, localization, or management costs), the server and bandwidth costs exceed the amount of money generated by paying subscribers. <BR><BR>2. Persistent billing issues and server timeouts (error 906, etc) cannot be resolved by our billing server team. We've been working on them for months and they simply cannot be resolved, I would go into more detail, but the end result will always be the same. <BR><BR>As a company offering a subscription-based service, we cannot charge people for a broken service, and we can't offer a free service without offsetting the cost.

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.
