Chris writes "FileFront has broke the news from Blizzard that they are no longer placing their highly popular MMORPG on store shelves, due to the recent server problems reported by Slashdot on Tuesday. Denying rumors that they had asked several stores to pull the game from shelves, Blizzard rep Gil Shrif is quoted as saying: 'We’re just being careful not to release additional copies to be sold until we feel the game servers can support additional players.' The online store on Blizzard's website shows the game to be out of stock. No word on whether or not this will affect the Korean release."

It's better to do this and acknowledge that you have an issue that need to be resolved than to just allow the issue to get worse. It does suck for you guys that can't get a copy, but hopefully they will get these server issues resolved. And for the record, there is no way that this release is worse than AO. I played that s****y game for 3 months and finally quit because of all the lag and fubared pathing.

WoW has been quite stable for me heh once again s****y named server for teh win.

I'm about to sell my account along with the game itself for 50 bucks. I've tried all eastern side servers and their lag's s****y as hell no matter what. I barely get over 200 on ping with EQ1 and EQ2 and when it does it's only in a high populated area or in a raid. Damnit someone help me go force Bellsouth or someone to get DSL out here in Bybee, GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

this isnt the kind of game where you need 50 fps like f*****g counterstrike... well unless you're a stict pvp'er... but pve... 200 ping is fine.

Yea, but I want to do some PvP when I get in the level 40+ range, that's mainly why I went onto Warsong with some other friends. >_<

My ping is never lower than 300, and usually it's 400-500. Ping is meaningless in MMORPGs.

It does matter in PvP most of the time.

Yeah, and a 500 ping is half a second, that is a big deal in WoW, which is much faster paced than, for example, EverQuest.

Let me know if you find em. The 10 day pass will let ya play for 10 days for free, try it out, etc and then afterwards you can buy it and use that CDkey on the acct and char will be there still.

The only time that my ping has ever mattered was when faggots put FFA loot on. I can't beat low ping people at looting.
