Impeccable observations, Aza. Thumbs up.

EDIT: I noticed you have a passion for PSO... Hopefully I'll be able to play when we get it here in Europe.

This passion has swelled up over the months I have been away from the servers. I began playing in April, and this lasted through the summer until the beginning of September (I imported PSOv2, also had to pay a substantially less subscription fee than that of the Americans) when my Hunter's License expired.
I'd strongly recommend that you stray away from the PSOv2 Dreamcast version and hold out for the Gamecube one. For starters, the Dreamcast servers have been littered with hackers galore. There was no safeguard from these hackers (even password-locked rooms could be broken into with the use of a handy CodeBreaker) then, and there certainly isn't now. You will be wasting your money for the subscription fee as your character save will run into more than their fair share of hits from defects derived by hackers and their handy codebreaker. You can be simply frolicing in the lobby, want to take a break, sign off, turn off your dreamcast, come back, boot it up and have a corrupted character file.
Wait for the Gamecube version. I know [knew] a lot about the community of PSO, where to stay away from, where to hang out at, etc. You'll be wasting your time with the Dreamcast Version. The Gamecube version will more than likely be liberated from the Gameshark-Hacker infested servers that the Dreamcast users bore with.
And secondly, I'll be around for the Gamecube version. =D
