That's why implementing something for both parties keeps everyone happy. I really don't see how that's unfair at all, could even adjust monthly fees if they feel the difference is worth a change. If you want to refer to the same type of updates we get now as a lower tier version of ffxi thats up to you...but i think unless we get some real new content I can see everyone dropping out eventually. Abyssea/reskinned zones was a nice addition with the new mobs and superpowered characters, but I already see people getting bored of it.

I read that the WOTG expansion pushed PS2 very close to it's limit, which is why we havent seen anything all new since. All it is, re-skins and tweaks to old content to make it seem like new stuff.

I'm not completely in this thread to bash on the ps2, I have a ps2 version (mainly for fishing lol) and pc myself... but like I said, if we did hit a cap for real new content because of the ps2, well I think something needs to be done about that, some sort of compromise.

Now this is an opinion, but for MMPORGs, I think they should evolve with technology. Expansions after expansions, the amount of disk space itself continues to grow. I'm sure SE wants to add stuff, and has so many ideas, but they are scratching their heads trying to come up with a way to implement it in a way where ps2 can handle it. I never really agreed with playing MMPORGs on a console anyway...anything that is typically played for very long periods of time per day should probably be done on a PC to be honest. I have 2 friends that had XI on ps2 and when their playstations died, they couldn't seem to get their hands on the fat ones for hard drives, only the slim ones. So I mean, it's an evolving ongoing game being played with a dead technology.
