Just wondering if players from different platforms will be able to play with one another?

    Yeah everyone will be on the same servers. This includes others from different countries aswell. (:

    Good news for me and my wife on the platform issue, but how will they keep gameplay fair with multiple countries being on the same servers?  This seems like the hosting country would have lower latencies than guest countries.

    The game is created in a way that you don't need to have <100 ping (0.1 seconds) in normal gameplay.

    I actually calculated my ping from Japan once, and it was somewhere around 250 (and I live at the other side of the world, pretty much). Doesn't make a difference.

    That kind of stuff is only important in games where there is PvP and factors like aiming included.

    Using LOL is like saying "my argument sucks but I still want to disagree".

    Didn't they say that there will be some sort of PvP?  If I remembered correctly, then ping would be a huge factor.  Then again, I could be wrong.

    Everyone has opinions, but does that make them the universal truth??? NO!

    That definitely depends on the PvP mechanics. 

    If it was like WoW, or CS, I'm sure it would. 

    However, the mechanics do not really favor twitch button pressing more so than they favor strategizing. Think, chess.

    I can only say for certain that the server location had no effect on the PvP in XI, much for the reasons above. And yes, it was still exciting in it's own way.
