the simple answer to you like Lee posted before : people have lives you know. If you really have a problem with this, go play another game, find another pso server or just wait it out till the problem is fixed. Which will happen as soon as possible.
Also its not a matter of life or death if you dont play :| get out and get some tan please.... and theres plenty of servers around here if you dont like staying here :|
And theres the shoutbox to post when the server is up why use this ? well its for not overflow the forum database.
