Also a bit more info on PvE (near the end of the link, #5)
I mean we did have the pro-gamer CS guy join the SOE team for balance, but it was still up in the air I believe the extent to which PS2 will be an eSport. Well, check this out. Almost last sentence, #7.

What do you guys think? Good? Bad? What do you hope it'll be?
I'm thinking they're thinking more battle-islands-esque stuff, that's what Higby worked on in PS1. Isolated continents for more outfit or squad-based play.
Of course, all eSports games must have a good spectator camera, so I'm hoping for good UI stuff to come along with this. Things like being able to disable your HUD, or to have a noclip mode to fly into the air to record stuff ONLY in these theoretical battle-islands for neutral players.
