DreamCast Maintenance

[Stan64]

Aren't the JP servers down. Or are they planned to go down?

Is the maintance scheduled for the EU servers as well? This seems interesting. ^^

The maintenance notice on the frontpage concerns all SEGA Dreamcast Phantasy Star Online Servers. Currently the only SEGA Dreamcast Phantasy Star Online Servers still around are 2 Japanese and 1 European one. However there is much concern over how long these will remain.


Sonic Team not so long ago took down Japanese Servers 3 - 8 but left 1 & 2 because of how popular the game was. Click Here for the News post

I have been online once on DC. Bought alot of DC stuff this spring. Everything was new.

DC
BBA
PSOv1-eu
PSOv2-eu
Mouse
Keyboard
Memory Cards
Not official VGA Adapter
And some games. ^^

I wonder what they will do though. o.o

You bought all of that this spring! Wow, now thats dedication!

I take it you go online on the SEGA Dreamcast then. Is it still busy on the EU Servers? Or are they deserted, i know some other people still play the DC version on here, but i can't see it being anywhere as busy at it used to be. The reason i think the EU server is still up is probabily because Sonic Team have forgotten about it! In which case you will be able to play it forever and ever

I have been online a few times and there were like 10-30 ppl online total.

Wow, thats pretty good i reckon! How many games u had on DC wud u say?

[Stan64]

Around 10. I don't play DC much though. I bought it for PSO mostly. I played N64 when DC was released. And started playing PSO before it was released on GC. First I tried it on DC but that was a long time ago. Then I played the PSO PC Trial. And then I lended DC and trained some vefore it was released on GC in europe. Then I played nonstop fpr a year and got to 200 finally.

But what do you think this maintanance is about? o.o

[Lee-yoshi]

I have no idea about what this Server Maintenance is about. Recently Sonic Team have been posting that the servers in Japan are becoming slighty unstable because of the service provider. I expect this however to be just general Maintenance and upkeeping. I doubt anything will change.

[Stan64]

Doh. I thoght they were about to make a sweet update for all the loyal fans. =P

[Lee-yoshi]

lol, nah, i doubt they wud botha doing anything like that on the Dreamcast anymore due to its quietness! If there was going to be anything added Sonic Team would have stated and i would have stuck it in the notice :p

But like i say there's been nothing of that kind for a looooooong time now as i scroll through the ST Server Maintenance post archives!
