Well, I'll neither confirm nor deny but I do believe that the videos did mention quite a bit of land mass revealed and previous betas had areas not previously explored before they found out and locked them.

1st of all, not all DLC will be free, but the content that will, will be delivered through patches i'm sure.
2nd, the multi-platforms are kept separated for now only, as Trion said it was their goal in the future to bring it all together as a big and huge multiplatform mmorpg, they are working on it, but i presume they need to strike a deal with sony and microsift together to be able to do such thing

Lol, Microsoft will never let that happen. They have yet to do crossplay with other platforms and probably never will. PS3 and PC might eventually be able to play with each other, but it's not happening for XBox.

Those other MMOs with massive maps you mentioned, nobody visits 75% of them. What's the use of all that map space if nobody goes there?

What the use of an MMO with a tiny map that can be beat in 3 days?

Oh man, that doesn't sound good. If they release new areas as DLC it will split the player base, even if it is free. A lot people just don't bother to go and look for DLC. If you are going to add new areas, do it as a patch so that every has to download it. The player base is already going to be really split up, because this game is on 3 platforms and the servers are divided by regions, and frankly I don't think this game will sell that well.

lol. Free DLC doesn't sound good. Sure thing.

Reading comprehension is not your strong point.

Final Fantasy XI for the Xbox 360 was cross-platform with the PS2 and PC.

Oh ok, I guess you're right. You probably didn't just say "Oh man, that doesn't sound good. If they release new areas as DLC it will split the player base, even if it is free." I was bored and made the whole thing up.

Hmm yea I guess you are right about that. Final Fantasy (which was previously PS/PC exclusive) and a major franchise is a far cry from Defiance though.
