I wish I could access that linky from work. Is it a joke? They've been having some serious lag and uptime issues lately. Just curious.
If it's true, could someone please pull a chunk out of the article and repost it? I would buy :beer:.
"FileFront has broke the news from Blizzard that they are no longer placing their highly popular MMORPG on store shelves, due to the recent server problems reported by Slashdot on Tuesday. Denying rumors that they had asked several stores to pull the game from shelves, Blizzard rep Gil Shrif is quoted as saying: 'We?re just being careful not to release additional copies to be sold until we feel the game servers can support additional players.' The online store on Blizzard's website shows the game to be out of stock. No word on whether or not this will affect the Korean release."

There were huge uproars in the beta community about how they would have to fix the lag issues before release but they never did. I guess the way they're running things now is why a lot of members left.

Not entirely true. Most servers have had 99% up time since release. The recent issues have been isolated to about 15 of the 80 or so servers. I think Blizz just decided that 700,000+ subscribers was enough for the time being.
It shows a lack of forward thinking on their part, but at least they are reacting to the situation instead of letting it get worse.

Is this one of those games that you buy and then have to pay a monthly fee to be on their servers, or is it a deal that once you buy the game you can go online free?

The problem is people see the word HIGH next to their server when they are making a new char and click "continue". Then bitch about waiting in lines.
Mal'Ganis has not has unscheduled downtime since i began playing 4 weeks ago.
The problem is server population, not anything with the servers themselves. They are talking about forcing splits and moving entire guilds to new servers.

The reason the game has so many problems is that the game is so popular and it is so popular because the game is so good. No other game can compare to the size and features of WoW and I have played every MMRPG released since UO.
