ok, yes, you're right, 1/2 an hour was a large exaggeration.
2 minutes is still too much.
When I hit "start game" I expect to be able to start, then. The time taken between clicking to start and actually starting should be only the time it takes to fill game settings in or TYPE a name, I shouldn't HAVE to think, if I want to think and have a clever or inventie name then I should be allowed to, but if I bought a game to play it, not to have an impressive name I expect to be allowed to play it with minimum fuss. As someone said, not everyone gets a MMORPG game for the RP aspect, some get it for the G aspect.
Choice is very important, people should be allowed to choose if they have a sensible name and so join in with the whole Warcraft things, or if they just want to bash a few keys and get on with killing stuff, and I don't see why it should be up to Blizzard to make that choice for people.
