I hadn't been online with PSO in quite some time till yesterday, so I didn't know that Vega was the den of thieves so to speak, lol. Wound up getting FSODded four times in one hour, twice by some kid named TheDeath (he's a gray and blue RAmar; he only SODded me the second time because I called him on it after I met up with him again after he SODded me the first time), and twice by someone else whose name escapes me at this moment. Needless to say, I'm staying out of Vega, lol.
The way I see it, the GC servers are going to rot away just like the DC servers did. After a while, the nonhackers will be all chased away, leaving the servers to the weirdos. ST will eventually close 'em all down, and I'll have paid $50 for a wireless console router for nothing.
Yes, yes, I've already read that thread about some people planning on forcing ST's servers to close themselves and setting up free ones, but at the risk of reviving an old thread and topic, I'm staying out of
that mess. For now, I'll just grin and bear the FSODs; I'm not letting a bunch of morons and kiddies with nothing better to do than hack and boot people just for kicks get to me or interfere with my PSO online experience.
