No More Players for World of Warcraft - For Now

Posted by samzenpus on from the we-played-too-hard dept.

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."

    Let players kill each other off... and make it permanent. A little population reduction.

    What they need is a more scalable enterprise solution.

    If I might make an analogy,

    B: "Let's go and break broken bottles in this deserted, garbage strewn alleyway! It's filthy and no fun, but it's always open!"

    Imagine buying a CD, for example, and not being able to play it AT ALL for 2 days.

    Oh, the horror.
