@ Archlord - Agreed, MMO’s are built for PC’s or at least the ones that have a lot of depth to them. You can make a simpler MMO like Phantasy Star and that works well on consoles but it doesnt have the depth of a WoW.

I think a PC environment is more suited for a MMORPG. You don’t play a RPG in front of your TV in my opinion.

And USB mouse/keyboard. I use them in Unreal Tournament 3 sometimes

But the PS3 supports bluetooth mouse and keyboards.

Authors should speak for themselves.
I want to MMO on PS3!
The lack of a standard keyboard is a real shortcoming though.
He forgot about input, and control. That is quite an oversight for the Big JuJu Man. I think anyone who knows gaming will insist on a keyboard /mouse interface. Try playing WOW with a game controller. Yeah like that would be fun.

I think they could make an MMORPG on the PS3 that will perform and sell really well, but beating WoW is another story.

This is a ballsy statement any way you slice it, just hope that they come up with something really good and not some cheap everquest knockoff or expansion.

I’m more of a console player who also pays MMOs. MMORPGs are all I play on PCs.

If you think about it though, most MMO players, especially MMORPG, aren’t console gamers as well. They mostly stick to PC. So this would need to be a game that would target the console market, which unfortunately just doesn’t get the MMORPG world and the need to pay a monthly fee

I personally prefer the pace and environment of MMORPGs to shooting people in the head in FPS.

It’s definitely a wild statement, but if they can pull it off, I’m all for it.

And when you think about it, Microsoft already charges you a monthly fee for shooting people in the head. Sony charges nothing. If they put a MMORPG online, I wouldn’t mind paying $10-15 monthly if the game really is a WoW-killer.
