WoW For the XBox 360 After All?

Blizzard's official word on the subject is still
'no', but according to Hexus Gaming and the new XBox
World Magazine, the rumors are flying that, although
WoW for the 360, although still just that, "it is not confirmed it may as well be Gold plated fact.".Now, does that mean the rumor is as good as gold, or are they trying to imply that the game has already gone gold, and is almost ready to ship? Surely we would have heard something if the latter were the case, right? And don't call you Shirley?

I don't think so. Blizzard doesn't want to tie into XBox Live. Stay on the PC...it's the only place for this game.

Why do people keep citing Final Fantasy XI as a PC to console conversion MMORPG completly ignoring the fact that is was developed for the PS2 in the first place? MS fanboys can dream I guess.

world of warcraft is going to sty on cmputer becuse they want to keep the huge amounts of money that they are making with the pc's monothly charge

You do know that MMOs on the 360 can charge their own fee on top of LIVE right?

This makes sense and is evident when one considers M$ just opened the live code up to developers. This way they can use M$ servers combined with their own. Face it Console RPG's are gonna happen soon.

As I understand it, FFXI doesn't need Live Gold in order to play...just the basic Live subscription and the monthly fee to Square. I don't see why Blizzard couldn't do the same thing.

I'm a casual WoWer (top toon is 28). And I don't yet have a 360. But I'd be all over this, if it could work.

Because FFXI is played on PS2, PCs and now the 360 as well. If they can do it, why can't WoW? People are already writing mods for the PC so they can play WoW with a 360 controller - it is not that big of a stretch for WoW add a console port.
XBL is a silly excuse - if Blizzard really wants to do it, you can be damn sure MS will accomodate them.
