To All ComplainersFollow

Are you frustrated about spending money on a game that forces you into a line to play? Are you constantly reaching for tissues because Blizzard has betrayed you? Are you overweight and you have nothing better to do than to complain on the forums when you cant play your game you've been thinking about for a month?

I pitty you, yes. Here you all are, complaining already on the first day on something that was, in no doubt expected. During the beta test the total server populations have reached 500,000. That is the most reached by any MMORPG up to date. With that knowledge in mind, I would have to say ALL MMORPGs have a higher population once released than its beta testing launch. Its sad that you would actually complain about having, already, this love connection with a character you've only spent hours playing. I, for one, sympathize the Forum moderators for having to reply over and over to posts filled with stupidity, having the answers that most customers just refuse, arguing just because they can, most likely depressed and filled with much hate in the world. These are the people who take the time to post rediculous complaints in the forums of games. I have a message for you. Get your fat *** off that chair (if you can) and go exercise, play football. Maybe when you come back the game will be ready.

You did not by a game thinking that it would be flawless did you? If you did, that just shows how ignorant you are and shouldnt even deserve to complain. There is no such thing as a flawless game, specially at the start. I know theres a possibility of people replying to this post with names of games that they think are flawless even at initiation. The reality is, it wasn't. In fact, to counter this, i will list the names of games that had in fact, major flaws in their work:

<Insert all game names here>

And this concludes my reply and relief of frustration to those complainers who wish to go an extra mile in annoying people like me.


EDIT: Someone who shares the same ideas as this, please post it on the official forums of WoW For me :).

1. Nobody is forcing you to read complain posts. You don't really have much of a reason to be whining about this.

2. 500,000, while extremely impressive for a beta test, is not an all-time record for MMORPGs. Ragnarok Online is insanely popular in Asia, and FFXI hit 1 million a couple of months ago. Not saying those games are better (have played both, I feel very much the opposite), I'm just pointing out that you've got some factual errors.

3. I'm sure you or someone like you is going to rate this post down, but such is the price for telling the truth. If you don't like what you're reading, don't read it. How about you make a thread about something constructive instead of whining about other people whining?

I haven't seen anyone asking for a refund. That said, I actually got one...and used it to buy a copy of WoW that worked. Go figure.

"there is such a thing as nearly perfect games"

Of course.

A reply to Jedi Knights and such..

When things happen like, falling through to the 'underworld' or dying unexpectedly to unknown causes, animation distortions, things freaky like that, those are considered bugs. Just to let you take those into consideration before stating such things.

I think you were looking for the Offical WoW forums, there is about 20-30 threads on the queue there. Personally you want to know what I did when I found out Illidan (server that the Kharma Trolls are on) had a 700+ queue.

I went to a different server so I could learn the game while I waited for everything to start calming down. Tomorrow by the time I log in there will probably be a couple more servers, and the MASS of new people will start to calm down. Then they will raise the cap a little bit and I will probably have no problem getting into Illidan.

If there is still a problem i'll go back to Hellscream server and simply wait until it clears up more. Sure i'll be behind, but that just means i'll need to catch up.

ouch. Actually I think they get their head count by Accounts and not characters.

FFXI has a cap as well though. I once got to watch what happens when I was bored one day. Every time the server got within 1-2 people away from 5k the server pop dropped by almost 100. Then it would slowly pick back up to 5k and once again 100 people would vanish.

I watched it do that for about 15 minutes before I was firm enough to believe (in my own opinion) that some if not all the servers in FFXI have a cap of 5k where the server kicks the top 100 inactive players.

There was one bug from Jedi Knights:

Is this the Jedi Knights game you are referring to?
