With this type of game, you can "go gold," print CD's, etc. and yet continue to work on the game and have a game-day patch. Lots of other games have done this. Heck, D2:LoD did that, and that was a "stand-alone" game.
Yes you are probably right Mongo, and yet that doesn't make me less afraid. On one hand, we might be faced with Torrent download again (probably not though). On the other hand we might be faced with an untested ftp/http download (why didn't they test it yet?), which is probably several hundreds megabytes big.
While I agree that the game quality will be one of the best MMORPGs, the game quality on Blizzard standard is one of the lowest yet. And don't give me the excuse that this is a MMORPG - we are paying more for the game (a lot more), so people similarly expect more.
