I guess they just can't do a server list right! :lol:

In WoW while selecting a server youcan not see the location nor the time zone of the server. And when they have new servers they put 'recommended' on them to trick people into joining dead servers.

when you have a game with a quazillion subscribers paying 15 dollars per month, you dont bother with games hardly anyone plays.

Yep, happens all the time. All you have to do is go back to the chat area and wait about 15 seconds then click join and they usually show back up.

Now, how about you quit whining about totally insignificant things that can be fixed with little to no effort. Every now and then blizzard will release a patch for starcraft. Can you name ANY company that releases patches for their games 9.5 years after they were released? Blizzard isn't screwing you or anybody else over.

quazillion people still play Starcraft even a decade later. That's why they are making Starcraft 2 in the first place instead of another MMO

you know what i am not whining. It just gets really annoying when i have to rejoin a game then the crap happens. When the server list comes back up the game already started. Then i have to look for another game it just really ticks me off.

I think the fact that you are still playing a game that's almost 10 years oldnegates this thread title.

It's not Blizzard fault as much as it is AT&T's. Also remember that Starcraft is very old and free online. Hellgate London on the other hand is free online but option for subscription. With the extra revenue you won't have the same problem as Starcraft.

Screwing you over by still supporting free online play in a 10 year old game? You're right. They should stop supporting it altogether and let you wish you had multiplayer....

Nah, the reason they're not making another MMO is because they don't want to compete with themselves. If they made Universe of Starcraft, you'd have a ton of people ditching WoW, and they don't want that.

Not to mention, WoW cost some $150 million to create in the first place. Starcraft will cost a fraction of that.
