Of course the one explanation hardly excludes the other. The decline has been so dramatic, I suspect it has several causes. MMORPGS, piracy, and the standard arguments on the shift to consoles probably all play a role. I hope that a shift to internet purchasing is part as well (IIUC the data are from brick and mortar retailers only)"A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin Buber -
I know that in my DAoC years, I only bought a couple of games and them mostly during the various times that i was moving and was without internet for awhile. Still NWN, Medieval and Rome total War and KOTOR weren't bad games

well I guess that answers whether or not to buy this game. I won't buy this game.
I hate server slowdowns.
I probably wouldn't like it anyways. I got bored of everquest 2 after a couple of weeks.Comment

I'm on Natherizem (sp?) which has a "low" server pop, and it's great."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Probably learned the lesson taught by the release of Diablo II, when every (EVERY) pre ordered copy was on battle.net the day of release and their servers crashed and everyone complained.Originally posted by Sn00py
DrSpike, learned what?
They had no clue that WoW was going to sell this well. If they did, they would have prepared.
This not only circumvents that problem, it also builds tension, anticipation for the release. From a marketing standpoint, this is the opposite of the release then patch effect.Any man can be a Father, but it takes someone special to be a BEAST
I was just about to point out that Horsie is simply making excuses in advance for why he will suck at Civ III...

The tension sure is building.

Some screenshots I took the other day. I'm a L45 Human Paladin, the BF (Johnnyboy) is a L46 Gnome Mage, and our friend Derek (Killua) is a L42 Gnome Warlock.

I'm starting to think that Blizzard could have improved the graphics a bit.Comment

I think they did a great job with the graphics engine and art. It runs great, even on **** graphics cards. My laptop has a Radeon 7500, and it runs the game in 1024x768 with full detail (minus pixel shaders, as the 7500 doesn't support those)
It looks better in motion, since everything is pretty dynamic...pouring lava, rippling water, moving gears, etc."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
