‘Edward@SEGA’ has sadly announced to the SEGA Forums that Phantasy Star Universe‘s western servers are closing down on Xbox 360.

The servers will be taken offline on September 7th, 2012. Obviously, the single player experience will still be playable, but sadly network mode will be closed off. Also, those with a Guardians license that expires after the closing day will have the money paid for it fully refunded, “on a pro-rated basis.”

Also, Edward has hinted at some special events before the servers shut off, noting past events such as the “joyous mayhem of Sonic’s birthday” and “three different weddings.”

However-perhaps this all drops a hint towards a possible localisation of Phantasy Star Online 2, seeing as they have promised “more adventures in the future.”

Overall, today is a sad day for PSU fans. Why not tell us what you think in the comments?

Tracker started out as a bright-eyed Sonic fan, ready to share his love of everything and anything Sonic with the world. And then the passage of time hit like a truck, and he’s now just as jaded as any other Sonic fan over 20. But it’s fine, because he does love SEGA’s many other properties, and retro games in general – nowadays you can find him on Twitter arguing the merits of Fighting Vipers, obsessing over getting good picture quality out of old consoles, and spending 40 hours playing Columns 2. He’s also writing for SEGADriven.com now.
