I know I might get flamed for this, but why don't they produce MMORPGs for Xbox 360, let alone console games. Seemingly, only the PC market can handle 'em.

We've already got Final Fantasy and Phantasy Star Universe. As for MMOGs, (not MMORPGs) we also have Test Drive Unlimited. Plus there is a Marvel Universe MMORPG coming exclusively to Xbox 360.

I know what you mean, there's nothing really good out right now.

It's really a choice between...

Phantasy Star Universe
http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/phantasystariv/index.html?q=phantasy%20star

and Final Fantasy XI
http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/finalfantasy11/index.html?q=final%20fantasy


Both of them are pretty awful IMO. But round the corner we got....

Two Worlds (out May 9th - Multiplayer will be MMO)
http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/twoworlds/index.html

Huxley
http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/huxley/index.html

APB
http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/apb/index.html

Age of Conan
http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/ageofconanhyborianadventures/index.html

Marvel Universe Online
http://uk.gamespot.com/xbox360/rpg/marvelmmorpg/index.html

and rumour has it in 2008 we will have...
Warhammer Online
http://games.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1617/Warhammer-Online-Age-of-Reckoning/

So maybe 12 months from now things might be looking up?

If you like driving games get Test Drive Unlimited, it's got a bit of MMO feel about it.

Who needs a MMORPG, When you can have a MOOR game. Test Drive Unlimited is aweseome. Unless that is, you really want a sword or an axe. Then you wont like it......

Here's a better question: Why do the two MMORPG's that are already available on Xbox 360 make you pay monthly fee's on top of the Xbox Live annual service charge?

Because the devs want money to keep the servers running and Microsoft wants money to keep live running...

you don't have to have gold to play either, but when you pay there fee it's so they can keep and maintain servers whihc are incredibly expensive and store you char's and iteam's., why regular xbox dose not require servers, it works on direct xbox to xbox connections.

Ever herd of ff11 or PSU?

They don't work very well(hence there scores) because they do belong on pc's,but age of Conan and marvel online should change this as there being built up for the 360,instead of straight ports.

that's exactly right..there aren't any consoles that have mmorpg's.. (that are good anyways)

and as for all these ones that are coming out, my expectations for all of them are very very low..noone of them will really do well because none of them will really have a big time marketplace to buy stuff from people like in guild wars or, ofcourse i have to say it, it's the most played game that noone knows about ever, runescape..a game for the 360 that is an exact copy of runescape except with good graphics would be absolutely dominating..
