I just wanted to ask about the severs. In the launch copy will they all be separate for different regions and different platforms. I ask because I tried PS3 beta as well to decide whether to get on PC or PS3. I logged in on both, and went to the same spot and I couldn't see myself, I tried NA and EU on PC but I assumed that PS3 was EU only, or at least I couldn't figure out how to change it.
thats because there not cross platform, pc xbox and ps3 are all totally different entities no cross server
Current thinking is that there will be no cross platform support at launch. So, PCers play with PCers, Xboxers with Xboxers, and PS3 with PS3. PC does not have region blocking, you can connect to the NA or EU servers from anywhere in the world. Xbox and PS3 are region blocked. All of this IS subject to change, so stay tuned.Originally Posted by Gronix

Thanks for the replies, but know "are all totally different entities" I just wondered because this is an MMO, right? It's on 3 big platforms, so I figured for this there might be an exception. I'm somewhat forced to get the PC so I can play with my younger brother in the future.
Its been addressed already that essentially Microsoft primarily of the 3 platforms didnt want to play ball on crossing over. Most xboxers I know switched to pc already feeling that there were not going to be as large a player base due to the blockade.
It's a shame that Destiny FPS MMO will be cross-platform unless Bungie helps Trion :P
prob also due to the fact that they need gold service to even play defiance on xbox whereas ps3 an PC don't have that issue
