Blizzard Talks About WoW Stability and Service

Via 1up, information from Producer Shane Dabiri on the future of the World of Warcraft service. He offers up details on the new server setups, new server sites, and the much-anticipated character transfer service. From the article: "Scheduled to go live this summer, this feature will allow players to move their characters, within certain restrictions, to a realm of their choosing. This means that player's will now be able to join their friends on other realms without the need to wait for a pre-set mass realm transfer. In addition, this will also contribute to a balancing of the player load from realm to realm, which again is a specific way for us to reduce realm queues and lag. We know that many player's are eager for this service to be implemented, so we'll share further details as soon as more information becomes available. "

    It's the sound of me not ruffling any bills in a rush to buy your game.

    All I know about WoW is what other people tell me, and all other people tell me is that there is nothing to tell because it's down again, or they were banned for no apparent reason, or everyone got AIDS and died.

    I'm not paying you a monthly fee to grind through a repetetive game world that I can't get into half the time and will probably be banned from anyway once that access returns.

    Hmmm.. "We know that many player is are eager for this service to be implemented"?

    I see... it makes perfect sense.

    On a more serious note, you'd think a company as "big" as Blizzard would catch such an error...
