Roderigo's analysis reflects my view of Blizzard and their politics exactly. They - like 99.99999% of all corporations in this world - always choose they most cost-effective solutions, no matter what the consequences for legit users are. And if a legit user complains, then it's the well-known:
"Note: Blizzard Entertainment is in no way responsible for your character(s) or account(s). If you choose to create and play a character on our hack-free, secure realms, you do so at your own risk. Blizzard is not responsible for the loss of your character(s) or account(s) for any reason including Internet lag, bugs, Acts of God, your little sister, or any other reason whatsoever. Consult the EULA for more details. Blizzard will not restore any character(s) or account(s). Don't even ask. La-la-la-la-la, we can't hear you ..."
But this attitude will have to change if they start to charge their users monthly for the upcoming "World of WarCraft" MMORPG. If they continue in this fashion for a server-based game where you have actually to pay for your realm characters, then they can start to dig their grave in advance.
