WoW: Battle Reports

[Professor S]

Oh yeah, I've definitely started another character. As I mentioned earlier, I like having a lot of characters so that I have a lot of play options depending on my mood. In fact I've started three new characters, including a new hunter to replace my higher level one.

I have to disagree with your high tolerance level for gaming problems when the game itself costs $180 a year just for subscription. Add the cost of the game and you paid $230 for one game for a year, which is more than the cost of any of the major consoles right now. Add the inevitable expansions and the costs will keep going. For this much investment I expect the servers to stay up. For this much money I expect my characters to not dissappear. For this much money I expect them to reply to my inquiry within the time that they say they will. Hell, for that much money I expect them to say "how high" when I say "jump".

MMORPGs are not a new thing. They've been around for years and considering the amount of hype they recieved and their loyal fanbase, they should have been prepared for the number of subscriptions they had to handle. Bottom line.

If Sony can do it, why can't Blizzard? Thats the beauty of a free economy. You can choose a company that knows what its doing. If I have any more major problems, just one more, Sony will be rewarded for their ability to maintain the integrity of their MMO.
