Hmm, I didn't had the time to read all the replies (I still feel sick though) but I just want to express my anger about Blizzard, and I wanted to let you know that I have send them an e-mail.
Hands up everyone here who has made a commercially released game in their lives...
Really people, just calm down. It's pretty safe to estimate that Blizzard are making the right decision. They've always done so in the past, I can't see why it would suddenly change. When something affects you like it does here, the natural human tendency is to get very angry. But think about it: can you really picture Blizzard executives going "Hehe, let's keep all those stupid poms, wogs and other europeans from playing WoW on US servers"? They're trying to get the best possible result for everyone. See what you need to understand is that WoW is the attempt at making a polished MMORPG, because the issues that crop up with the other ones could all be fixed if the companies making them had spent a little more time on them. Therefore if Blizzard say they'll keep it seperate, then I say let them. I trust them.
And before you flame me, I live in Australia and so will have to wait ages for it myself. That's okay though *twiddling thumbs*
gggrrrrr..... Blizzard is being retarded, the purpose of gaming industries is to aclually SELL as many games in as little amount of time as possible. And 6 months is outragous, it shouldn't take that long to re-do the voice-overs and text, complaint sent darky, blizzard shall face the wrath of my spam.
I'm an American user and i'm still outraged. if you think about it it'd be like Blizzard seperating the US and saying "all people in the states: Alabama, Florida, Tennesee, Georgia, Mississippi, and Louisiana have to wait 6 months to play so we can make a simpler version for their vocabulary and won't be so confused because we're ****in' prejudice against southerners because every house has at least three guns (true), they all love fried chicken and deep-fried cat fish (true), and all southerners are redneck hicks that don't know **** about **** (not true).
That's basically it, I think I might decide to hack blizzard and stick a whole ton of spyware in their machine just to annoy the crap out of them. Also, I'll spam them just for the heck of spaming those prejudice *******.
Long story short: complaint sent... multiple times.
i think it's interesting that it is so easy to appeal to blizzard for not releasing their game in only SOME countries and not in others, which i dont agree with none-the-less, but no one says a WORD about the 4500 babies murdered daily by the liberal left all for a large sum of cash.
Hey, I'm sure you guys developed your MMORPG's and they could easily handle any bandwith amount (YES IT IS ABOUT THAT, so they take Australia over another area not my problem) Besides since most non Americans hate America I rather not play with them. But then again that could be just me since the flowing intelligence from all these people on the boards are the one affecting my decision of not wanting to play with foreigners.
What the hell is u all guys talking about. IT W.O.N.T take six month!! I ordered my WoW and they said 27:th of January, NOTHING else. It was the english version AND I HOPE for god sake they won't do a fucking german/spanish/french or Korean version!
It just destroys everything, like in Wc3 every name of every single unit have a fucking wierd name, I mean I play 2 on 2 with germans sometimes and they said they should build something, and I have no Idea of what it is. U german, french and so on learn english for fuck sake, or why do u want a non english version?
I must admit that my english wasn't the best in this post but I hav not much time...
I think blizzard is being VERY stupid. One of my favrot parts about the other blizzard games is meeting people who don't live any where near me. It is always so fun to decover that the person you have been playing with for a few hours lives on the other side of the world. I am going to email blizzard ASAP.
@darky Thanks for point this out! I would never have noticed it on my own.
