I started playing on the realms...

In what? That BattleNet is an acceptable place to find enjoyment?

:lol:

It is, and I don't really understand why you think they aren't enjoyable. Can you explain why they aren't?

Sure.

10 minutes. I spent 10 minutes on a BattleNet Realm and saw somewhere in the ballpark of 10 dupes lying on the ground, while I wondered why my real life aquaintance was so ready and willing to give up SoJs and an Eye of Etlich . . .

"Take them" he says . . .
pffft! <_<

Then someone else turns up in the game and I immediately lag out. No, some people at Blizzard let BattleNet rot and frankly, they can keep it.

Of course, you need to put a pasword on them unless you want to do the equivalent thing as marking yourself as "Free To Chat" in ICQ to let pretty much any kind of person contact you. I guess you know what the result of that is.

No I don't actually, but I can guess. The idea of actively waving to attract every Tom, Dick and Dopey for a chat is not something I'd normally go for. Besides, ICQ even leaves the option for narrowing the list of unwanted. Such a wonderous program. :) It's kind of silly comparing it to a BattleNet Realm though . . . It's like comparing a cat with a pencil - They're entirely different. :lol:

Anyway what's the point of passwording games unless you already know other players who you can share the password with. You'll be playing alone otherwise and without friends you may as well stick to Open on you PC at home maintaining a far better playing experience. :P
