This game got run over by the hypemachine, like i predicted months ago.

This is a good game and an excellent concept, except for the fact Blizzard has had no experience handling MMORPG servers and obviously sucks at it.

The best thing they could've done for this game is make it like Never Winter Nights or not made it at all and stuck to real time strategy games.

The lag is horrible and they are doing nothing to fix it. Listening to the uppity whiners that are addicted to this sad raping of a good game makes me think even less of Blizzard for making this game.

Some one complains about the literally HORRIBLE lag (it takes TWO minutes + to loot an item. My best bet is they have the inventory server for an ENTIRE time zone server set on a signle server). They reply with soemthing like "This is the beta test, they will fix it at retail". Well shit, if they are going to fix stuff after retail or at retail, why th fuck are they holding a beta to begin with? The point of beta is to fix problems as they arise, not at retail. They are not even attempting to do this. The way things are going this game isn't going to be worth the 15+$ a month its going to cost a month to play it, everytime they patch they further over "balance" the game


Just my thoughts

Dude when Blizzard say they will fix something "at retail" they really mean they will fix one bug whilst creating 3 others , Diablo 2 s been out for over 4 years and its still a bug//exploit//hackfest. WOW will be no different.(it will just cost more)
