Someone is going to recreate PlayOnline?!? Or are they going to try to redevelop FF so that POL isn't so closely intertwined? Either way I see this being an insane task that I doubt someone woud do for free. (not to mention the huge risk factor)

its not recreating anything. its just redirecting the ip when you goto connect. its been done with every mmorpg, always will be. yer thinking too hard about how its done. its not actually that complicated.

the point is: where i linked to, you can play RO for free. FREE I TELL YOU!

hmm... maybe I am... Just seems like it would be a hard task, even if they were to just have servers. Because it would have to be capible of saving a lot of data, and capible of multitasking POL and FFXI.

thats why generally free servers arent free for the world to enter, you have to be accepted in. they dont want it so theres so many people thier server will over load. theres usally a much much much less number of people in free servers. because they're generally private.

and i keep seeing ramblings of a free ffxi server so its possible one already exists, not sure tho.

I've never played on one because it seems to miss the point of being with a lot of people. but to try a game i would if i just wanted to test the game out.

I was disappointed to learn WoW was going to be subscription service.

Will there also be a WC4 that's free and traditional just like 2 and 3? Or does WoW=WC4.

there will be a WC4, because WoW is NOTHING like the other warcraft games. totally differnt. its not a RTS, its a MMORPG.

so ya. they'll sitll be making normal WC games
