Even though I said I didn’t want to go into this shit again, I can’t resist this. Blizzard from today’s announcement re: the 48-hour extension: “We’ve received many calls and emails from players telling us how much they’re enjoying World of Warcraft and that they would just like to have a more consistent connection experience.” Heh. Now that, ladies and gentlemen, is SPIN.

Another extension of the free trial for Warcraft: 48 hours this time. (please don’t cancel, please don’t cancel … and for heaven’s sake, don’t call our offices asking how to get a refund of the box price) Although, I really don’t want to get started again with this shit, if I played on one of those perma-down servers, I’d be furious, too. The apologies are wearing thin.

If I’m afk for a while in Warcraft, the volume of the background music cranks up, and when I arrive back at keyboard, the Victorious Music (in hi fi! at hi vol!) makes me want to take up an elvish blade and shout, “But they will never take our freedom!” Maybe I’m mixing genres, however.
