Roms are legal, but only under the condition that the possessor of the ROM owns an official copy of the game. I'd assume a similar law would apply to MMORPGs and other games that require an account to play online. That is, to play on an unofficial server, one would require an official account as well. That, at least, would explain why the site you had linked is down.
As I said, since the game is free, it's very worth the price of $9 per month, assuming you enjoy the game. If you don't enjoy a game enough to even pay to purchase the game (which would equal about half a year of game time), then why would you waste your time on the game even if it was free? Would it be as a free trial? I believe BB can be played offline, which is trial enough.
I'm interested to see the admin set more examples and post links to emulation sites, rom archives, and torrent files for films and games.

First off I played Episode 1 and 2 offline and online for like 2 years. So I did give sega money, I did pay for the game. A LOT! I realize there are now plenty of free PSO servers that would probably allow me to do things like power-level and item-quest quickly. This is what I'm looking for because I've been there, I've done that. It's a game that has a lot of faults and I'm definitely not looking to pay for it again. Did you ever play through a game to a high level and then have some jerk eradicate your character through a gameshark?! Didn't think so. So far BB hasn't had any problems but give it some time. So I'm looking for a free server. If anyone wants to PM it to me, ok. If you would like to PM me rom sites, bit torrent sites, or any other illegal sites, Please do.
