As a WOW addict I love playing the game but the problems with lag server
crashes and other tech problems if anything in my opinion are getting worse
not better. Blizzard in my eyes anyway has been a very reputable company
but they are now getting just like all the rest. The game is too far along
to be given a pass that it is new and going through growing pains which I
don't believe in in the first place. the idea they didn't know it was going
to be so popular is preposterous. Beta testing applications and sales
orders are made far in advance of actually arriving on shelves they know and
they know what their hardware and software can handle. In terms of too many
people the solution is simple stop selling games and stop charging monthly
fees until you get it right. Don't fix it on our nickels.
On top of that there seems to be no control or limit that they allow on
servers so the new people often get brand new less crowded servers while the
original supporters of the game get stuck on crowded ones because they have
been around the longest. I love this games gameplay but it's graphics were
designed so more low end computers could play it and it would graphically be
less "stressful" on internet play. There are no lovely vistas or long term
clear views in WOW like EQor EQ2 because of this. You can't see very far
ahead and if you do its fog. Not a complaint and with the cartoony choice
of graphics it goes ok but if making that compromise doesn't make in run
nicely then it matters.
Many people are really getting fedup as the problems continue and the
new patch for many has made things worse. Right now till resolved they
should cut off new members on crowded servers. Offer those on crowed
servers the right to move with all their stuff to new servers. Stop charging
or discount monthly fees. And bight the bullet and stop selling new games
till it is running properly. Retail or wholesaling of a product you know is
defective has ramifications. I suspect there is fundamental problems with
the coding as this is there first venture into online gaming hell as good as
they usually are. If not and it;s just too many people playing then they
have only themselves to blame.
