October News/Discussion

[--Pete]

Hi,

. . . it reminded all players that this isn't a static world.

The trouble was largely that this event came close on the heels of the 3.0 patch that broke so much of so many of the mods and the UI. Even straight Blizzard items, like the positions and functions of chat boxes, was broken. Then there was the whole server instability, the logon mess, etc. Trying to clean up the crap that Buzzard's incompetence created (does the concept 'backward compatible' require a genius IQ to get?) was already a PITA.

So, Azeroth not static? Probably good. Servers and code not static? Definitely bad. Both at once?

. . . the number of people leaving WoW (like Pete) . . .

The jury is still out on that. I'm paid up through a <strike>few more months</strike> little more than a month, and since I can't get that money back, I'll just wait and see. But I've got mods to patch, etc., and I just haven't been able to work up any enthusiasm to do it since that 'event'.
