mmo's are good because of the social side Takkxyz. Take it from someone who's spent many many hours playing them. The games themselves are pretty boring, but the social interaction can be killer.

I have to agree with Bod on this one. I think I would go crazy trying to play an MMO on a console, but thats just me.

True, MMO is sociable (heck, I played enough of them). But they didn't have to sacrifice fun (and not random drop, hoping I get lucky by the random generator and get a good reward fun) to make the game, do the now...

For your point 2, it supports keyboard. What issue over 30+ buttons. The keyboard it uses is identical to the one u use on the PC. I believe you are definitely able to map the keys, if keyboard is implemented in the game. Since it accepts keyboard and mouse, I dun see why the computer is superior over the PS3 in terms of this function.

The only issue I see with the PS3 is the lack of RAM. They should have at least 2gb of it.

Do you not understand what I'm saying? This is the third time I've said this (I did say it in my original post). It needs to support keyboards AND allow complete custom binding and key remapping. That has not happened in any MMO in console history (the EQ on PS2 supported keyboards too, it just didn't allow remapping). When it happens, that objection will be removed. 


I have to agree. There's a large difference from supporting k+m and allowing for full customization of the keys. It's one of the major flaws in FFXI and it extended to the PC version. There is only two keyboard settings you can use and no customization. The default setup doesn't even use awsd for movement. Of course, I've come across far too many PC MMOs that also don't allow customization and I refuse to play one where the only way I can move is by point clicking.



To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.

I hope they bring out something cool.

Yes, sorry I did not understand what you said. Coz I have never experience/played a game that supports keyboard and yet doesnt allow key remapping. I took for granted that key remaps are a norm, since all the MMO I played allows it. My bad!
