It looks like WoW is/will be a run-away big seller. Perhaps Bliz could handle a normal sort of MMORPG launch, but WoW is going to be much bigger than that. It's hard to believe -- especially with the open beta lag/server issues so far -- that Bliz will be able to manage the actual demand. My guess is that a melt down on release day and the week(s) following is pretty likely.
