Fucking annoying

I was planning on playing a little World of Warcraft today. A few things interfered. First of them was that server maintenance for all the U.S. servers was today, so that took several hours. However, the servers are back up, according to the official WoW site.

Except that they're not. Oh sure, it says they're up. Unfortunately, the only one I have any characters on (Argent Dawn) is not up yet. It has not been up for at least the last hour, even though the official site maintains that it is up.

Blizzard, your game rocks. Your web-page on sever status sucks liquid monkey ass. From a large, rusting vat. Your method for returning servers to active status likewise sucks from the same aforementioned vat. (Honestly, I can't figure out what, if any, method they use for deciding in what order servers should be brought back up. Maybe there is no method.)

Hell, at this point, I'd be happy just to get on WoW to check how a few of my auctions were going. I don't think that's going to happen.

You should come play Ryzom with us instead.

I looked at that, and it just doesn't seem like something to get into...

Advancement seems really slow, the graphics aren't that great, and it doesn't seem to have the flexibility that it says it does...

The advancement isn't like anything else in any other game, but it isn't slow that's for sure.

The graphics are amazing, unsure what you've seen. Ryzom is probably the most attractive game i've seen in years.

As for the felibility, it is there. But you have to play the game to see it. Trust me, it is what it says it is and more. I love it.

I have been playing it. I've got the 14 day free trial.

I agree the advancement system is very flexible, but it doesn't seem to do what they said it did.

All in all, I'm going to stick with City of Heroes.

Hmmm...not sure what you were expecting then. Compared to other games, Ryzom is way more flexible than anything else I've played due to its skill system.

At least you've played it and tried it. I think its the best MMO of its type out there at the moment. (as in sci-fi/fantasy type MMOs)
