Personal computing discussed
Every week, there is some new calamity that necessitates some huge response on their part, servers are coming down, but if you think that the servers coming back up again will represent an improvement in the basic functionality of the game you're mistaken. They took them down most of the day Thursday (and again for "emergency service" on Sunday), and when they came back up it should have been something supernatural but it was actually utterly imperceptible. It should have been like when the Genesis device hit and a lifeless rock became a f***ing paradise. That didn't happen. So, if I say, as I'm about to, that their emergency service amounts to parlor tricks, what evidence can they give to the contrary? Because near as I can tell they've been doing "emergency service" since release, only they used to credit people's accounts for it.

How about you guys who play it every day, is it still this bad for you? I seriously hope not, I had high hopes. Though I'm not down for payin' the monthly, any genre-advancing success is good for the industry, it means bigger and better MMORPGs/CORPGs down the road.
I went to go buy WOW today and the guy at the game store said that Blizzard was holding back any more disks until they can get more servers up.
Can anyone confirm this?
