Mine falls under the 'faulty' adaptors, but neither the US or Europe Adaptor sites have anything to fill in, and the Australian PS2 site has nothing about it.
I'll be contacting EB Games tomorrow to see if they know anything about it, and I'll post up here for anyone else that's stuck.
A slightly different concept to the one you described was launched by Sony for EQ Live. The 'Legends' server would cost a lot more, but would have almost daily GM events, with unique gear, custom naming, and other things that people would see as a premium service.
They also offered free transfers for your characters, and to go back again when you were done.
The concept has been done to an extent, and although I know it was still around when I left, I'm not completely sure how successful it was.
I'm definitely all for them trying 'free and premium' servers, however they'd need a convincing business plan.
The Castle (1997/I) A Melbourne family is very happy living where they do, near the Melbourne airport (according to Jane Kennedy, it's "practically their back yard"). However, they are forced to leave their beloved home, by the Government and airport authorities. 'The Castle' is the story of how they fight to remain in their house, taking their case as far as the High Court.
The Kerrigan family are a typical aussie "battler" family and living right next to the airport never seemed to be a problem for them until the airport wants to expand - on to their land. Their initial reaction is "f**k the airport" but it soon becomes obvious that airport is going to get its way - one way or another. This is Dale Kerrigan's story of their battle with the airport to keep their beloved house, along with "bloody good set of gates".
Zangband will always have a place in my heart as a great fun, single player game that just goes on and on and on.
I'm currently in the 'WoW' scene, with some other.au gamers and having a lot of fun, but since hitting 56+ I've really noticed a lack of 'things to do' once I hit 60, and have really been craving the AA style advancement that EQ live had. I'm rather concerned that WoW will die for me and my guild soon, as once we've all hit 60 and done the Dire Maul/Scholo/UBRS scene, it will have very little to keep us interested.
I've already seen a lot of my old EQ guildies who came over to WoW, got bored and left, and while I'm not looking forward to having myself and friends get to the same point, I realise that the $90au and $20ish a month has definitely been fun and ultimately, worth it.
It's just a little hard to take, with the comparison being more of a 'never ending' game.
Since I've been out of EQ live for the last 6 months or so, I'd be very interested to hear what the gamers that have gone back, are thinking about it.

It's not the same situation, but there are definite parallels, and it's a great flick as well.
