Same Account For Different Platforms

[Twister165]

k same kid that told me he was signed up for huxley beta, tells me that u will b able to sign up on one platform, and b able to jus hop on ur computer if u have the game on ur computer and log on there too if u want, any confirmation on this? or is it somethin i should post on that thread for this forums interview to webzen?

I have been wondering this for a long time. I think it would be dumb if they dont allow you to use your Huxley account on either platform. Because I wont be buying Huxley then for both PC and 360 if so. If I have to choose one then it will be for PC.

It would be nice though to be able to choose what platform you want to log into like if your computer is busy defragging or somthing you can just play on your 360 if you own both.

tbh, this sounds like another rumor among the many already excisting. IMO this doesn't really sound like anything that would benefit microsoft in the end. They're greedy and I have a hard time thinking that they would want people (as in Xbox Live members) to log on to their computers instead, considering the fact that they actually made Epic charge for the new maps for GOW (EVENTHOUGH they didn't want to), I don't think that this will be an option. This is my opinion, it just doesn't sound very realistic, and one thing I've learned throught my time spent on the internet/xbox live, don't trust ANYTHING until you're holding the product in your OWN hands....

It's been done before with FF:XI...it all depends on if the PC and 360 servers are connected (I don't know if there's been official word on this yet...). If they are then yeah, you can probably use the same account on both platforms and if not, obviously you can't. And some people do buy it for multiple platforms, don't ask me why.

It would be nice to have the same account on both platforms but either its a rumor or webzen could have said its something they might do. Like CarnaGe said dont trust anything till you have the game.

Well simply put, this is very much possible. It's already been said in previews of Huxley, that 360 and PC users can interact in the Safe Major Cities, meaning weapons/items can be traded among people, etc.

It probably works out better for them to allow this as well because they will profit from both platform versions of the game being purchased.

There's a few things to consider with this though. I'm not POSITIVE on this (and this may change depending on Huxley's point of view), but I don't think 360 and PC can enter the same battlefields, or if the same battlefields exist for both platforms. This might change depending on ShadowRun's success.

If that's the case, then if your account works for both platforms, you'll be playing with an entirely different player base depending on whether you login with your PC or your 360.

There's a lot of aspects to be considered if this is added... but put simply, this would be cool.

[Untamed98]

You have a very good point Solus. I think the same battlefields will exist for both but I doubt 360 players and PC players will be able to fight with each other.

yah thats wat i was thnkin, we know from webzen that we'll b on the same servers together, but jus wont b able to pvp. so wats the harm in loggin on to whichever platform u want, u jus will have to play against the ppl on the same one, no big change.

There's a beta???!!!


Anyway, it would be cool if you could play on both platforms with one account, but I only have a computer, so it wouldn't matter much to me.

[Twister165]

nah gotta read the other post. it was the same kid who made up bs story that he had signed up for beta already, and i was told here that thats not available yet.

by the way this same kid said he knows that he's signed up because there was alreadya beta, and he said he missed, lol.

[Berserker]

Oh, well if you heard this from him, it probably isn't true

[Twister165]

lol yah hes jus makin it up

In response to a few comments up there, I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to access your account on either platform, because you'd already have purchased the game for both in order to do it, so if there were a monthly fee you'd pay for one.

And in regards to not allowing pc/xbox360 players to play each other, there's a game that recently came out that allows for that, it's called Shadowrun.
