What you all do not realize is....

Is that this game is developed for XBOX360. This game(in my opinion) will not sell well on the PC, but it will sell well on the 360. Think about it, its the 360s first MMO( i think). And thus it will probably be the most successful one till the next mmo for 360.
Most of you are expecting this to be super de duper awesome, but if you have been reading upon the forums recently over the regarded " invisible walls speculation" then you may realize its not massive because the 360 cant handle massive.

...that this is the upteenth thread about this very topic and that the arguments about this have become quite repetetive and that they can all be read in the various other threads regarding the Console/PC issue?
Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
Final Fantasy 7
FFXI was the first MMO for the 360.
Good point, I never looked at it that way, however will all buy it anyway cause were MMOers and we play everything
Hahahaha, rofl, this is so true
well my friend. I certainly have not read upon this matter. Also, its Page's first time reading this. So if you have a problem with teh post, just dont read it. Fair enough, no?

What you do not realise is your wrong.
IT IS MADE FOR PC FIRST AND FOREMOST
They are still hiring for 360 Programmers, THATS PROGRAMMERS you know "PROGRAMMERS"
IF YOU had read info you would realise that WHEN the 360 version releases ( WHICH IS AFTER THE PC VERSION) you would know that it is being released with the EXPANSION for AoC on the PC. How long before the expansion comes out??? have a wild guess, then have another wild guess to when the 360 version is coming out. Then add in all that extra time for optimization.
IF YOU had been reading up on the forums lately you would have realised that sometimes walls were put up to navigate testers to area's that needed testing as generally happens in games in Beta. You can run to the top of mountains, you can jump off them, you can swim under water. You can pick a mountain out in the distance and decide to go climb it. The land is divided into zones some walls will be in place IT IS NOT A SEAMLESS WORLD (first said publically some 3 yrs ago) Zones are different to instances, this is not Guild Wars style world, its more akin to EQ.
IF YOU had looked at these forums here for one minute you would release you just created the 4th thread on the topic in the past week.
You do bring a good point up that there is a console market for this genre and yes it has every chance of being successfull in this regard. But we are talking next year release most likely for a console version. I'd be very suprised if we saw the 360 version before Xmas.
I choose not to argue with you not because i will lose, but because your so swayed to believing this game is the best of the best. I understand your clan is practically best friends with Funcom, cool and all, but no need to hollar at me my friend. A clear 2 sentences could have done. Not a whole 5 paragraphs of you yelling at me. lol. Thanks for the information though Amazing. We will see if this game is designed CORRECTLY when open beta comes out.

Hey mate, I'm just giving out what has been said as it is. You topic title is just a "little" bit presumptious isn't it?
It's not about being designed correctly or not, there is no right or wrong way is there? maybe there is for you, be we aren't making the game. It's been quite clearly presentented to the public from the very start like 5 yrs ago, this is a PC game first and foremost, it will have zones, zones are not instances!
Post I made was not a shouting match more of a spelling out, because quite frankly these forums are full of the mis-informed right now, who just haven't got a clue.
Its not about arguing or my clan or anything like that. You post is trying to tell me what I "don't realise" based on your assumptions.
Mm, i agree with you. My post wasn't meant to head people away from the game, just to help them realize this game is being developed for 360 also, and that the 360 does have limitations to how much it can do.

If you wanna get really technical about it...the 360 probably has less limitations on it, as most of ITS system resources aren't being hogged by 10,000 stupid apps all the time like our PC's are.
The whole console/PC thing is about the dumbest sack of crap I've ever heard. The only point that is even intelligent enough for me to acknowledge is the control devices. I will secede that if you prefer mouse/keyboard controls and ALREADY have a PC...then you're better off. Anything else is just elitism talking and not actual intelligent human minds. I , personally, have no time for elitist BS wars because I consider them a lower lifeform than me. I've no more reason to discuss matters with them than I do a cow.
Well im glad we have an expert on here.

I dont know why this concept of invisible walls during beta is hard to understand, they did exactly the same thing in Vangaurd Beta only just before release were they dropped and some slightly just after release, they would cover huge areas sometimes but Vangurd is a big game. This was just to maintain trhe testers to areas with content & various other reasons.
now i want to be just as smart as Zazz. Not fair.

Joo taking the pee? lol
How do you get smart, I need some
wont sell well on the PC? all my local gaming stores (for once) are smothered in pre-orders for an MMO (obviously the Burning Crusade was huge but my local stores tend to stay away from MMO's). As for the 360 i think it will sell well because its the first modern MMO on the machine (FF is good but sometimes those graphics can really hurt your eyes :P) many (younger) people will flock to it due to the decent graphics.
i hope both 360 and PC users can play together on the servers and i look forward to the release.
MMO wish list:
-Changeable worlds
-Solid non level based game
-Sharks with lasers attached to their heads
i fantasize about that all the time.
Now I feel obligated to fantasize about you.
You pick: Halter top or leather jumpsuit?
Whoa, 360 will pwn the PC! Wait that would be like Microsoft would pwn his own systems?
Don't worry about it dude. I think it will come out in 2 years for the Xbox lol

Last time I checked EBGames it was slated for a September release for 360, I don't know where this "released when the expansion is released" stuff came from. You don't usually plan an expansion before you launch the initial product, if so, that is retarded.
I think that what nobody realizes, is that the OP is probably regretting starting this thread. For he surely must realize he got caught with his pants down and bent over.
Wouldn't the idea of testing this game purposefully with areas walled off possibly lead to issues later in those areas not tested? Does anyone remember falling through the world in Vanguard? I did plenty of times when I decided to go "exploring". I understand focused testing, but it seems to be a bit late in the game to leave large chunks of the world untested at this point with little or no inhabitants or purpose.
