News as Posted on Frontpage - http://www.Ragol.co.uk

The future of Phantasy Star Online is legitimate! Sonic Team is now taking more action to crack down on game abusers!

Sonic Team will be taking appropriate legal actions to those who do not stand by the Phantasy Star Online Terms & Conditions of online play. More specifically Sonic Team are following up numerous cases of lobby message spamming and game freezing (FSOD) that almost any player will have encountered while playing online no doubt!

While there are some who can play sensibly, there are others who continue to annoy many while experiencing online play, and to this reason SEGA regret the inconvenience that this is causing to the small legitimate majority who do respect the Terms & Conditions.

If you play any of the following games, please contact Sonic Team with any problematic users you have come across so this can be sorted out once and for all. SEGA are listening!

• [i]Phantasy Star Online, Episodes I & II (Microsoft Xbox)
  
• Phantasy Star Online, Episodes I & II (Nintendo Gamecube)
  
• Phantasy Star Online, Episodes I & II Plus (Nintendo Gamecube)
  
• Phantasy Star Online, Episode III: C.A.R.D. Revolution (Nintendo Gamecube)

If I may ask where did this come from?

Lee, I think most are very happy to hear this! Think of all the spammers we'll ban/have sega taken care of!

The future of PSO is looking bright! I have a secret plan to put this game to justice. Give me a few weeks, and you will notice fewer cheaters and spammers!

One question though...if this project is a success, will they consider future PSO volumes?

http://pso.sega.com/community/profiles/p...buse.jhtml - But I really can't see them doing much about PSOX :/

The news has been spread across all American Hunters License (I & II, and III) websites. I'm unsure about the Xbox version of I & II, but i'm most definately sure that Sonic Team would also sort out any major problems if it was reported. Sonic Team are also universal so no doubt the news would also apply to EU and JP users who do not abide by the Terms & Conditions of service.

Oh well heres hoping.

I hardly think this will last, looking at their complaints page, they still haven't added 2005 to the date listing yet, also, I used to send [email protected] information about these hackers and such, (before I knew about the complaints page), so they blocked my email by IP, that's gratitude for you, I'm doing the job they're too lazy to do.

hearing this almost makes me want to run out and buy the GC modem, and hunter's license.... almost, not quite, maybe once they've proven that they're going to get off their lazy butts and do something, i'll buy it, but not yet
