I did not see in Xi's post anything approaching "THIS MUCH HOSTILITY" or any effort to persuade anyone not to like the game. She was merely expressing her opinion and others I am sure will agree. Why would former Blizzard employees be clueless about the negative consequences of a three character limit and a dinky stash? There is a lot about the game I really like such as the fact it does not feel like a MMORPG. The fact that every battle area is "instanced" is terrific-it gives one a chance to get used to the interface without the distractions of a bunch of babble. I can see this game attracting the Guild Wars crowd but I will be amazed if it makes much of a dent in the popularity of WOW.
