PS2 limitation new Zone solution.

[NightDagger]

I refused to buy a 360 for years. Was Sony all the way, but broke down & got one now and have to say that I love it. I still have certain series of games that I will ONLY play on PS3 cause the graphics, sound through home theater and everything is better (to me anyways).

I also wish a PS3 version would come out. I would switch from 360 to that hands down (then my wife could play CoD & kill zombies all day as well lol)

XBox 360 is the only console atm that doesn't have a real memory limit. Microsoft can just keep making newer, bigger hard drives. If PS2 harddrives weren't so out of date, Sony would really be able to do that too.

Ignoring the fact that you confused HDD space with memory, ALL systems use the same hard drives computers use, and can use HDDs up to 2 TB each.

This just cant happen, and everyones idea of just, hey just make it not available to PS2 users is an impossible and unfair limitation. Its horrible business practice. For people who just cant afford to get a computer, that leaves them limited to the amount of fun, content, and almost not played with anymore becuase if this were to happen, everyone would go to the new areas and leave the PS2 players in the dust. Eventually what is going to HAVE to happen, whether they like it or not, is they will have to cut off the support to the PS2 and it most likely WILL happen, but of course, its going to be a while before they make a decision like that. It wont happen until they are absolutely positively sure that they can still make a buck on the services, and in order to do that, the content has to stay rewarding for players to keep playing, and if its not too large to fit into the PS2, the PS2 will live on until it is deemed impossible for the game to expand when they are planning to expand.

ok let me ask you what is best:
1. shutting the game down
2. Getting rid of Ps2 support so it is ps3 only
3. giving new content that ps2 can't acess
4. deleating 75 content instances.

to me the bad business practice is bowing down to 10% of your total revenue or w/e.
do sony even make ps2 or sell replacement hard drives? really no reason to support the ps2 anymore, when your p2 brakes its prob best to buy a ps3 to replace it.

I agree, is in some sense a bit crude for PS2 not be able to join new zone, but could be worse... Eventually they wont have choice to swap, is same as i said before, PS2 can't play 14 and please don't get to conclusion is reason why 14 is not a great success ><

Hmmm, i kinda lost track of Everyquest.... IS EQ1 still more popular then EQ2? If yes, then i guess SE should learn about this, i know EQ2 had very hard time at start...

Anyway, EQ1 never died and will probably never since company still put new content in it none stop, for XI it seem they won't have that luck till they make the right choice, and to say people will start play 14 just to get ride of limitation, is like dreaming. I would rather play something totally new instead, which involve totally new monster, totally new concept...

in my head is clear, i end to spend too many year into XI to restart all over again in 14. Is not like i only loose progress i did, but also loosing my friend-environment.

Nah EQ2 has/had a larger player base, at least until they easymoded the content in the last 2 expansions.
