Free Server for PSO:BB?

[TheSlyMoogle]

I think a while back someone posted about a free server for Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst?!

If someone could link me to that or whatever it would be muchly appreciated.

Side note:
The real thing's not that expensive, has a large userbase, and is worth the $8.99.

Except Blue Burst isn't really worth it in the end.

also, http://www.psocheats.net

It works for Gamecube too.

PSO: BB wasn't too bad...i played during the free period they had in the begining...

Dyne, you're right and PSO isn't really worth it in the end. Also, that link doesn't work.

Hahaha, sega must have gotten to them.

Seeing as how Blue Burst is downloaded, rather than bought off the shelves, Sega would receive no money from gamers who were to play the game of an unofficial server. Posting a link to an unofficial server would be akin to posting a link to roms.

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.
