    WoW pulled from stores?




    Interesting. Only thing that I wouldn't understand is that when you look at the server list, there are so many that say 'low' in population.

    Yep, makes sense if you've been playing lately. Lots more lag than it used to have, the Auction House kills the server almost anywhere. They sold 600,000 units, time to take a break and get ready for the next wave. Make sure the servers are operating FAR under capacity, which they aren't now. The population might say "low", but they look at created character numbers. I know lots of people that have characters all over the place. The population you see is only who's online concurrently. If everybody decided to hop on at once, that'd be a bad day for most servers.

    Either way, I'm glad they're doing it. Fix the potential problems before raking in more dough.

        I've noticed more lag than I had in the past...it's not bad most of the time, but definitely not as nice as around when I got it (after they got the loot lag fixed). Shouldn't take too long for them to kick up the servers, a week or two maybe, not sure how they really help things, more memory or something i guess

            Man this sucks. I played EQ for like 3 years and stopped playing 2 years ago. I finally fall back into the MMORPG trap, I have a new PC on the way, now I wont be able to get it. Just my luck.

                It is not pulled for good. Just a shortage while they work on the servers.

                            I actually planned on picking up Half Life 2 and WoW, but I was looking forward to WoW more. I hope they arent off shelves for too long.
