That website that holds the petition is pretty big, ive signed many different petitions before, mind u ive never actually heard anything back from...anyone! But good idea none the less!

PSO shud be saved, but it really depends on how many people really are still using it on the SEGA Dreamcast, anyone got any figures or facts by any chance, itd b interestin 2 look at.

Ive never actually played PSO for the DC but I put my vote down anyway. I know there is so many loyal fans out there that still play it on the DC.

sher.. thay allredy took it down in the U.S.A.

[Ramsey]

No they didnt....There is one US ship is still up and running. When the DC was new that ship was like the US:Vega 1-1 today!

[Schoichet]

hmmm its not down? it shold be by now...

[Dreamcastmagic]

As numbers are: in 2001 over 300,000 people were playing PSO ver 1 and 2 online

On the Gamecube version of PSO in 2003 at the end of August sega announced the PSO Episode 1&2 on the Nintendo Gamecube has the largest online gaming network in the world, that has measured 600,000 registered members. Those are just online people not offline!
Anyway the US DC servers go down at the end of September and the DC message boards will be avaible until October 1st.
I hope that US PSODC players will be able to log on to JP and EU ships. If not the only online thing remaining is using the Web browser and emails. A person named baburay has made a DC server. I have also but its still being tested. Vist my site for upcomming details

well its not the end as hacks have a way peopl make servers and play trew them so only legits are fealing it.

I think they needed to shut it down so they could make epesode III servers.
