Play Phantasy Star Online: Blue Burst For Free

About this server
Now that official PSO Blue Burst has a community of less than 50 players, SCHTHACK, who made the PSOPC, DC & Gamecube private servers has made his own Blue Burst server.

Actually, the server is compatable with Dreamcast, PC v2, Gamecube and Blue Burst, you'll see players from all systems on in the lobbies. You can tell what players use what system, because SCHTHACK has programmed the server to display DC/PC/GCN user's system where the blue burst team guild name would be.

What this private server has that official doesn't
* Rare items are more common, still rare but not as hard to find.
* Random & Order item distribution, similar to Phantasy Star Universe.
* Rare Item notification to all party members.
* Daily maintenance, unlike SEGA, SCHTHACK cares.
