I think there should be at least one server dedicated to the combination of PC and the 360. I am interisted to see how these two types of game play will fit together. Has this type of thing been done before? What do you all think?
I'm a complete idiot when it comes to consoles, since I've never had one. Wouldn't pc users be forced to use headsets to communicate on a server like that? Or is there a sort of keyboard you can hook up on xbox? I'm not one of those hardcore mmorpg players who discounts any other play style then my own, so it wouldn't bother me at all playing with console players. I'll either be better at combat then someone els or I wont, and hearing pimply faced boy from the Simpsons talking about pwning everyone wouldn't really set me off. But there would need to be communication some how just for functionalities sake.

360 actually has 2 USB ports. So you can hook up any mouse/keyboard to it. I belive you need some sort of drivers for it though. Not 100% sure.
I agree, there should be atleast a couple servers that are linked. What can it hert? Heck if they are linked I will for sure play the game on both PC and 360.
I know a keyboard works in he 360 but I dont think the mouse does. But Ive never tried it. It shouldnt be to hard to get both pc and console playing on the same server cuz SE was able to to have PC, PS2, and 360 all play with each other. Im not sure If im getting this for my 360 or my PC my 360 is getting lonely.

Do you mean servers where PC players can play together with 360 players?
If so, yes, it's been done before, and it's going on today. FFXI servers merge PC, 360 and PS2 players, so they can play together. 360 was introduced in May (i think) last year.

Never give up and never surrender!
"Finally, in regards to Xbox 360 and PC game play, Funcom hopes to have hybrid servers which can support both platforms."
Hopefully this means that people can play each other over different consols.
