WoW Shortages

The World of Warcraft Collector's Edition on EBgames.com is now carrying a $149.99 list price, as limited supplies of Blizzard's MMORPG in stores have made the game so scarce that such gouging entrepreneurialism is possible. Thanks Voodoo Extreme.

Whee, look at all those replies. I am a bit surprised at what people think of saying.

Some random replies:

  • Read what I said, not anything else.

  • Can you say DUH???
  • Generally, the CE versions are crude ways for the company to make a few bucks. I am a fan boi and generally like having the "1337" version of a game, but that does not mean I cannot set my bias aside and look at things logically. The pet is useless, there are better useless pets (mechanical chicken :o,) and how many times can you possibly look at the art stuff?


  • The rest of my comments deal with Blizzard's lackluster support, ongoing issue with the nefarious "Error 132," and outright lack of comments/information/replies to customers. The 132 error was the most common error when I first encountered it a month ago, it had a 60,000+-view sticky thread along with numerous other individiaul threads, and, in the four weeks I went before experiencing it again, it gained another 30,000 views along with even more individual threads. My commment was that there is an issue, Blizzard did not seem particularly motivated in dealing with it, I am stating that I am more than capable of running my computer, my two support threads went unanswered, the vast majority of support issues go ignored, etc.


  • I further commented on Blizzard's bizarre work schedule. It is adding Christmas decorations and an instance while ignoring known problems that have been documented. I find it shocking that Blizzard does not fix even typographical errors. I find it extremely illogical that the company would spend the time adding an entire instance to a region.....while ignoring known (broken) quest bugs in the exact same region.


  • On the whole, I think I commented on Blizzard and, taken as a whole, that is why I laud Blizzard for providing even worse service than SOE - certainly a negative comment, but a rather profound one.


  • The warrior received a nerf from Stress Test 1, but even taken on its own now, I am not sure what the point of the class is (at least for alliance - if you are horde, you can make a meager argument for it being a replacement for the paladin class.) The warrior misses more than the other classes and has nowhere near the damage of those classes. If you want to take on the tank argument, the paladin can have the exact same armor...while being able to heal, have a pool of mana instead of having to buid up rage, and cast numerous spells. Even taunt is broken; it often holds for as little as half a second. Though this is the only real un-fun part of the game, I can still get around it. However, the frustration goes back to.........Blizzard for ignoring this issue, making drastic class changes immediately before launch without testing, etc.


  • Note the ongoing distinction between the game and Blizzard. Clearly I must hate the game - that is why I play it and am now level fifty-four, soon to be fifty-five. Er...wait...or is my issue, as commented upon in my first post, the poor conduct of Blizzard at supporting its customers?


  • True of false, are certain servers, like Kilrogg, down today for sixteen-plus hours of maintenance due to ongoing performance issues???
