It's been going down for a while for me, but i'm not a dreamer and i know Blizzard isn't the perfect company everyone seems to believe they are. I will be super critical of bugs/expolits/cheaters/delayed patches/etc. anyway because i'm gonna be paying per month for the game.
Yeah, I want it too. It goes to show, if you want to pull off some shady deal - at least make it easy for people to give you their money. When you are shady AND incompetent, people get pissed.

I guess thats my point. Having a few bugs and perceiving Bliz as a great company that does everything they can to help you out makes you tolerant. Garbage like this, I believe, changes the perception of Blizzard for a lot of people and could change overall subscription lengths, espcially if there are any bugs to work out.
Er, how is the FP fiasco BLIZZARD's problem? It seems to be a FilePlanet issue to me. If anything, this is a good sign, because it shows how overwhelming demand for WoW is. I remember that there was a similar option where you could subscribe to FilePlanet to get into Lineage 2 closed beta, and response to that was fairly small.
I dont put too much blame on Blizzard for this. Sure they made it so that fileplanet subscribers only can get in the stress test but they are having a free open beta in about a week. No one is making you pay your money to file planet. Blizzard needed help distributing the file for the final stress test so theyy turned to fileplanet. Now if Blizzard decided, "Hey, lets make the open beta only for subscribers and make people pay," then youd have something to be angry about. If anyone is most to blame its fileplanet, not Blizzard, for not giving instant access and keys and such. Also, everyone who went to fileplanet is a little to blame cause if thousands of people hadnt signed up at once, their servers wouldnt have crashed (not that that much difference though, fp should have been prepared for the masses of people who would sign up). If you cant wait 7 more days (think, youve already waited 4 years) and decided to pay, thats your choice. No one is forcing you.
Because of this fiasco I will not be posting at this forums anymore. I will be giving the rest of my CB time away. I will be cancelling my pre-order, and will never buy another Blizzard game.
Ciao, it was nice posting here, but I am gone forever.
I already had an account with FP and in about an hour and a half I had my cd-key. Now all I'm doing is waiting for the download to complete. Probably will be done by tomorrow morning and I'll be good to go, woohoo. Sorry for those that are still waiting for cd-keys but hopefully FP will hand them out to you. I personally have never had problems with FP before. I myself do not put blame on Blizzard for this because they have nothing to do with the billing process for FP. I agree with Krazor... no one is forcing you to pay. I also think that it was FP and not Blizzard who made the ST available to only subscribers.
