I thought Blizzard categorically denied it not that long ago?
Repeatedly! ;)
Unless it gets announced at E3 and proves me wrong I go with the catergorical
"Ain't happening"
They've denied it dozens of times, but then more info pops up to suggest otherwise.
They've already said that the architecture of the 360 doesn't allow for MMO's, and then at the same time they've said,
" Blizzard hasn't ruled out the 360 completely for an MMO; however, it isn't currently planning anything for that system."
If it's not suitable then why don't they rule it out. They never say WOW won't be coming to Xbox 360, they've only ever said we have no plans for WOW for the 360 for now.
The 360 does work with MMO's, Final Fantasy is just as good on the console as it is on PC, so if Square Enix can do it, then so can Blizzard.
I think it might be a more qualified statement, i.e. "The current version of World of Warcraft has been ruled out for the 360".
Meaning that they might well wait for an expansion pack or two to come out, then base the 360 version on that..
Realistic?
Definately sounds more viable :)Quote:

I can understand FF being on consoles, i mean this is where its come from. But blizzard fans are PC gamers, thats where WoW history and fun came from. I don't truely imagine the 360 is going to be as benefical to Blizzard as FF has been to Square.

USB keyboard. You need it on Final Fantasy to be able to play it properly.I'm not sure what they're doing about FFXI regarding PC and Xbox 360 users, I think they might all be mixed.Quote:

so you going to use mouse too then?. As you can't really use a controller and a keyboard at the same time right?.
And the idea of having a mouse and keyboard on a console just seems plain wrong :/

You get the headset with Xbox live so chances are all 360 users will use voice comms. Also the idea of a keyboard or other device would make a lot of sense, but then that's just making a 360 a PC which it is not designed to be.
erm voice comms???. heh 10000+ ppl on voice comms erm :|
