first off i kind of have a bias cuz my uncle is in house legal counsel for ncsoft austin, and all that im saying is stuff i made up not what i've heard. but anyway i would think that this has something to do with how live is structured. for example i don't think a good payment plan is in place for monthly fees for morpg's, and it is not a one comuinty thing but rather live has a bunch of diffrent servers/rooms and such (great for fps but not for morpg's). also they have never made a console rpg before so it is most likly not m$'s fault (even when rpg's wher in place for ps2). i certainly would like to see an ncsoft rpg on the 360 tho, maybe i can put in a good word lol.
