JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW.. I was a Chosen "Beta Tester" for the NON-PVP LoTR game... It has its moments.. but comes noting close to the smooth game play once experienced in the Beta WoW Relm.

Once WoW went to PVP as the main Base.. Their PVE enviroments SUCKED.. And it REALLY SUCKS NOW THAT PVP IS THE TOTAL GAME!!!! But Until the introduction of the Global VoIP...the game play stayed smooth!!

I still Prefer a Skype connection "in game" to "The Made For Raid Lagg **** They call VoIP!!"

Lagg.. will be the Major Factor For the Mass Exit to this game... They NEED MORE SERVERS!!! PVP, PVE, RP-PVP, RP-PVE, It does not matter.. Their Band Width is Choked!!! They are strangling themselves.. and not paying attention to the "Betas or Casual Users" That say NO PVP ON PVE!!!! We do not play for that "$^!t!!!!" So Listen To US!!!

But Do Not Worry Bliz.. As soon as we find a Compatable Game We Will Defect By The MILLIONS!!! So, Your 20M by 20012 Will = 500 CCasual Non-PVP players that did not Defect to "????" Like they did Everquest and Everquest2, DOC, FFXI ,.. And THe Host of other games that "Tried" to do the "Right" Thing.. Right "Now" You Rock.. But you Still Suck because you are so Narrow Minded to PVP!!

Cheers!!

Not that I Wish Bliz Bad Luck.. But All I can hope for is ... Bliz will add 5,000,000 More servers to compensate for the LAGG I feel on my T3 Connection!!!!

BACK IN 2003-4 Bliz had the "Advantage" of low lagg and Low Population.. Now a Days they SUCK!! With the VoIP and Overpopulation.. The Game is underscored!!!

I still play because I beleive the PVE enviroment Rocks When You Discount PVP as the main Base!!

No other game comes close!!

Cheers!!!
Should be easy...

you would think with 10 million subscribers they could step up the process of fixing constant bugs.
Stop stealing our money ;(

Dang you Blizzard for taking our money...with so many subscribers you would think that they could cut down the monthly fees by 1 or 2 bucks a month. Oh well.
Congrats!
