Anyways, back to the question, any version of Final Fantasy XI will be p2p (pay to play). Either it’s PC or PS2. Considering that the PC is more costly than the PS2 (almost a thousand vs a few hundred for the system and needed materials), it’s no different weither or not.
Look at Blizzard’s Battle.net: it has to hold just as much information with as many if not more players on at once… but you don’t have to pay to play on it… or even on Diablo II… there server’s have to store all the information as well… *sigh* in a perfect world there would be no ptp.
If there was no P2P, everything would suck like Diablo 1… haha. XD
the money helps pay for there nice lag free servers so be kind and give them your money.
so closed.
