MMORPG Confirmed for E3 2009?

In a recent article in Electronic Gaming Monthly, Editor-In-Chief James Mielke suggests that Square Enix is finally going to unveil their follow up MMO to FFXI at E3 in June 2009. Even though he only states that it's "scuttlebutt around the industry" that is confirming this, it would be tough to bet against, given Mielke's relationship with the FFXI team and developers of the new MMORPG. Chances are Mielke knows more than he can reveil, but for now we'll have to wait till June to see what's in store for us.

Wow that is very cool news :)

One thing I disagree with - *vehemently* - is the bit in the scanned article requesting micro-transactions.

I hope they do *not* do this.

Make certain items more feasible to obtain, fine... But reducing the game to "how much rl money are you willing to spend?" is absurd.

I hope, and have some faith, that SE will not follow this trend.
