If you look at how EQOA worked on the PS2 then it works really well. You could either plug in a USB keyboard or press a button to bring up a "virtual keyboard", which was slow, but allowed you to type by selecting letter after letter. Chat modes were changable both via pressing a series of buttons or by pressing Start (main menu) and selecting it like that.
i.e. L2 (brings up a menu at top of screen), up, left, down = change to group chat mode. Straight forward and easy to learn so you can change modes quickly.
I always had loads more fun playing that than any PC mmorpg because you could lie on the sofa and play lol.
And yes, Bon does nothing but fill the forum with negativity.
edit: oh and skills were changeable simply by pressing up the directional keys to browse through the skills you have set, and 'O' was to cast, the bar in the top right corner was ur skill list, think the max number of spells at 1 time was 12 though. I believe that would work better than the way you've been thinking...
found a couple of screens to show:

Lol, i've played WoW with an xbox controller, very successfully, and you're all wondering how it's going to work with mir?
As westy said, button combinations.
By the way: Yes, you can plug a USB keyboard into an Xbox, but you can only use it for typing. Not gaming.
Very good work yuka, nice to see an original idea being produced.

Don't be scared of change, leave him be if he wants to do it stop trying to force your negativity on to people.
Looks really good, as people have said really ambitious but sounds quality, the only thing would be the typing......but imagine it on their new xbox controller (Or lack of) be mental fun

Yeah, tis really, i would fooking love it if you managed to get it on that motion sensor controller.........lol imagine that ****!
Beat me to it, though I was thinking of both triggers being held down in addition to pressing X, Y, B, A (think about a Tao's bless - Only used a few times an hour, if that, so although it's a bit awkward, it's not a big issue as it wouldn't be used during fights where you can't stop)... Bloody hell, 20 keys on Mir, epic stuff for if you get the 2.6 spells on there.
There's a name I've not seen in a while. ^^ Also beat me to it (wish I'd seen this thread sooner :x), keyboard could easily be used for typing (some people hate speaking online, each to their own), meaning you could type for general chat, and have the option of speaking OR typing for group chat and possibly guild chat too? Even if it's limited to the 8 that was mentioned earlier, that's still like 90% of the use that voice chat provides (very nice for when in a group vs group fight and you need to tell people what is happening where etc).
All in all it obviously needs polishing, but if you get it done, REALLY good work, great to see someone thinking (pardon the pun) outside of the box and moving on to consoles. Even if it never becomes a fully working version of Mir, that's an accomplishment to be proud of that would get your name put in Mir history. :P
Would it be 2d or 3d?? because it would be hard for it to be a 2d game as it is at the minute.. because the mouse cursor would be really awkward on an xbox... and the movement would not be as quick...
Plus imagine pvping as a warr on it aswell if it was 3d how cool would that be haha
Sorry to put abit of negativity into thread but i would think Blizzard would of already thought bout putting WoW onto xbox or ps3....
