It's a bit sad when you think all the fun times in BB (and board drama) All those fine hours didn't go to waste  |

Well just to let everyone know I am on a campaign to try to get Sega to release a patch that will enable people to play the game offline. I sent the following mail to the support people:
| Quote: | | I hear that the PSOBB servers are being taken down soon. I was just wondering if there is any chance that Sega could make the game available to play offline. So many people put a lot of hours and time into their characters and equipment, it seems a shame to see it all go to waste. I know it is possible to do. A few years ago, UbiSoft made a game call Uru:Ages Beyond Myst. It was to be their first venture into an online multiplayer Myst game. I was one of the one's that purchased a copy of the game. Unfortunately they had numerous server issues and after a couple months of trial and error they closed the servers down. They provided all of the players with a patch that allowed them to play the game offline. Could something like that be done with PSOBB? It would make a lot of people very happy. Thank you for your time. - momonpso |
Maybe some of you could also make such a request. I have already received a reply from Jaun saying that there is no plan for a patch as of now but he will pass the suggestion along. |

| I think the hurdle with making PSO:BB offline compatible is that fact the characters are server side. |

I'd think the only thing you'd need to do it tell the program to save it locally instead, right? A bigger hurdle to me seems like taking out the lobbies and making it single player only.
