LOL!

World of Warcraft was one of the most rushed games in existence. The servers don't work properly and repetedly have to be taken offline for Blizzard to paper over the cracks. We've had what.... TWELVE patches? And it's still nowhere near being a good product.

I don't blame Blizzard. They did the best they could, what with Activision right up their asses pressuring them to get the game on the shelves.

Oh is that so? I honestly can't remember the last time my server went down apart from for scheduled maintenance.

The majority of the patches have been to add more content to the game. Of course there's still some bugs but Blizzard have done a bloody good job fixing the majority of them. Of all the MMO's I've played in my years WoW is by far the most polished.

I think you'll find most of them are down today.

And I take you've never been to bwl and got disconnected for the xxxth time.

Uuuh, yeah...that's for scheduled hardware upgrades.

And I've never been disconnected in BWL, ever.
