when will the ps3 support be dropped? (from a ps3 player)

[Zileth]

That's not what "dropping support" means. When they are talking about dropping support, they mean that a certain content update, let's say an expansion, won't be sold in an X format. People can still play the game on X and Y, but the expansion disc will only be sold to Y players. This means that X players are dropped virtually since they can not progress any farther in the story without the expansion. They can still log in and play though in the world, just don't expect to be able to go any farther in progression.

Erm well depends if they ahve it set up like WoW...... Not sure how FF11 set up is but games that offer free updates dont allow you to log on unless you can down load the current version
