    That wasn't a flaw, that was intent. MS stated it at their own press conference that no additional fee's woudl be neccesary to play it.

    The issue with XIV, is the interface and security SE currently uses. Since it would pass through their routing system, it must meet criteria that it currently does not. However that has changed and some rumors will be dispelled in 2013.

    Maybe in time it will come to xbox, but many people think the xbox players did nothing but bad for the FFXI community.

    And what makes you think the ps3 community would do any better? I wouldn't mind the game being on both consoles... Actually I would LOVE to be able to play it on both consoles.

    I never said the PS3 community would be better. I also never said I agreed with what people said. But, I never heard of people complaining about PS2 players.

    Word, I miscomprehended then. I didn't play enough XI to know how the console players where but I don't see anything wrong with 2.0 being on both systems.

    Neither do I. I suspect most of the complains were just because of the influx of new people.

    The PS2 population outside of Japan was tiny compared to the PC population though.

    Yeah, that could have been it. But, I guess you never know.

    Loosing Revenue generated by those who passed through Microsoft's Data & handling servers was intended? i think not. What the FFXI client did was completely pass through Microsoft's Data Handling Severs, nothing touched the Microsoft servers it was a strait shot, Xbox FFXI Client to SE's Servers. this was not intended and was later rectified. they do not want SE doing the same thing again.

    What was not intended, for people to be able to play FFXI without having gold membership?
