I got a feeling wow lost a chunk of it's customers from this stunt and now I look at blizzard as another sleazy company like sony that doesn't give a rat's *** about it's subscribers as long as you keep chucking over the dough.
It's actually pretty funny to say that since no one is giving them a cent and they are SPENDING money in bucket loads to pay for all the costs associated with the beta. While I echo the sentiment of being VERY frustrated, I know they are doing this for the game and the community to give us the best game they can.
SOE on the other hand had EQ2 in beta for a little over 2 months and is sending it into the world already. WoW has been in beta how long? I'm not certain myself, but isn't it over 8 months now? That should tell you how dedicated they are to making a better product. SOE is going to ***** the public again for a buck with the next year people will be paying for the right to beta EQ2 like they did with SWG.
Comparing Blizzard to SOE is in very bad taste indeed. Once again though, I do admit to being frustrated at the wait, especially since they said beta would be soon and tomorrow will be three weeks already(yes, I realize that soon is a relative statement) without a hint at when soon might actually be.
