PSO+ version
I remember reading somewhere that the next server version is going to be compatible with PSO+. Is this true? If so, any ideas on when it is going to be released?

It *might* be compatible with PSO Plus, but I haven't been able to -*test*-('") it yet. It worked with Ep3, so it should work with Plus as well. The DNS server was changed a bit; now it refers to "retrieval mode" - this is what's used to allow local PSO Plus users to connect.
