No WoW for the 360
Next Generation reports that Blizzard COO Paul Sims has dispelled any ideas that their hit MMOG would appear on the Xbox 360. From the article: "WoW is built as a PC gaming experience. Porting PC games to console often compromises games, and we'd never allow the WoW gameplay experience to suffer ... Also, it's important to us that the entire player base is able to play together. Microsoft's Xbox Live architecture is very protected from all sorts of outside influence, so shared play between 360 and PC owners would be very tough. We wouldn't even consider WoW for 360 unless we could overcome that hurdle."
The Xbox 360 has support for mice and keyboards. Just plug them into the USB ports on the front or back.
Queuecraft hurdle is hoping to be alleviated by April. They've recently built a very large rearchitecture of servers which they're going to be putting live for the 1.10 testing phases and hoping to hit the live servers with the 1.10 patch. Rumor has it they are suppose to handle 2-3x the number of users on the current systems.
