Here's the translation of the German site.

Negotiations with Vivendi universally

C11 13 (13. February 2004 13:37)

M$ has been for long time with Vivendi in the conversation because of Blizzard
(Would swell: periodical Gamestar, finally October 2003). Concretely: M$
World of Warcraft would like to bring out exclusively first on XBox. On
later Release on PC offers itself, could however from
strategic considerations shifted become up to the St.
Nimmerleinstag. The presently running concrete became therefore not only
spatially (USA, Kananda, south Korea) separate also of the Locations the
Game restricted (see <http://wow.gamona.de/>.

Mythica fit therewith generally no longer into the draft. That
Riddle rate of the experts has now an end.

I seriously doubt that WoW will come to the xbox first. Especially when you consider the game is going into beta for the pc in the near future.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft did pay Vivendi to bring WoW to the Xbox. It could be Microsoft's awnser to Everquest for the PS2. But it's just a rumor, hopefully more information will be release in the days to come.

For those of you who have no idea as to what World of Warcraft is. WoW is a MMORPG, that's set in the world of Warcraft(the popular RTS series) It's due out later this year for the pc, and it's been receiving quite a bit of hype from the pc community.

You can learn more about WoW from here.

Here's a few screens..

Maybe sometime in the future but as it is some people may feel that paying for BB, Xbox LIVE, and paying monthly to play a game is a bit iffy. It probably wouldn't get a lot of support. Plus there's True Fantasy Live it'll have to contend with. But we'll see .

I'd much rather get this game for the PC than for the Xbox. I already put in an application for the Beta, and am hoping I get accepted. I wouldn't complain if it did come to the Xbox though.

I really dont think that WoW would do that well on xbox, if it ever makes it. Paying extra money above the xbox live cost makes me shy away from mmoprgs for xbox.

I also signed up for the beta. Hopefully I will get in too

i dont like having mmorpgs on consoles. The Button Layout is always so confusing and wrong.

EQOA's wasnt that bad actually, you'ld be impressed.

For the WoW thing, I highly doubt it, and if so, it'll be a far ways off...

Those screens are horrible. :o

Doesn't matter, I'm not buying it anyway.

It's a MMORPG, a genre that always had lackluster graphics.

Yup, and with the Blizzard compagny, do not expect there are great graphics but gameplay is another question.
