Oh well... you are speaking of the space expansions right? Well, the game is just so huge (9 times the world of Everquest) that we can't speak of a ripoff. Just read the faq (

The Space expansion will add the possibility to take part into real "Star Wars" with your X-Wing, Tie Fighter etc... Of course, you'll have to buy the spaceship, and in order to buy it you ahve to earn a good amount of money. The add-on will be released at the time that a consistent number of players will have the money (both in-game - to buy the spaceships - and in the real world - to buy the add-on - hahaha)
There are no details on the Ps2 or Xbox version yet - and yes, the game looks pretty, but actually Final Fantasy XI seems to me as surprising as this. In other words, I sincerely think the Ps2 will be able to handle it. What I don't understand is how they can say that the came should be playable with a normal mode. To me, it seems impossible.
