So I have been playing the World of Warcraft Stress test. I have been looking forward to WOW (I am going to use WOW for this instead of typing World of Warcraft every time forgive me) since it was announced 3 or so years ago. Its a really great game, I am really happy to be able to play it in beta. Now as much as I like the game there are few things I have issues with. The bad thing is the issues I have with the game have nothing to do with game play. Its mainly with some of the people in the community, now given most of the people at least in stress test are friendly and pleasant to be around. Then there are those people that I want nothing to do with, the people that complain and scream and yell all the time about everything thats "wrong" with game. Now I know this topic has been covered a million times by a million different people but I am not here to say anything negative or to bash those people. I always say you have a right to your opinion no matter how wrong it may or may not be.
The problem I have is not so much that they are complaining its more where they are complaining. If you want to complain fine complain away on the official forums but not in game when I am trying to enjoy the few days I have with the game. To give an example of this I was playing earlier and i tried to ask about where something was in the game and I don't think anyone even read what I asked cause there was so much spam about the servers not being up. I did eventually find what I was looking for in the game just from trial and error but the point is there was so much stuff about the servers that I couldn't ask a basic question to my problem.
It seems to me that for some reason people will sign up for a beta and not fully understand what they are getting themselves into. I am not one of those people that will tell you to sit there in a beta with a notebook and a pen and write down every little thing thats wrong with the game. But when you sign up for a beta the key thing to remember is that it is a BETA meaning its not complete and not going to run the way its supposed to. If you can't handle the game crashing every other day don't sign up in the first place, because the crashes, lag, and bugs are going to happen no matter how much you scream and yell on the chat window. In WOW the name says Stress Test meaning Blizzard is stressing the servers so they break now and not on the day of release. The best thing I have heard by far while I was playing was a guy who said that blizzard should have their act together if they are going to let people play. I am not trying to rag on WOW I have seen this in other games and betas just to be fair I saw the same kind of thing in City of Heroes beta as well, so it happens all over the place. The point I am trying to make is if you like MMO-'s and you want to try a beta be prepared for the downside of it your supposed to be testing the game for the developer now if that means writing every bug and crash down then ok. But if your like me and you test by just playing the game and try different stuff out, just understand that it is unfinished and the developer whoever it may be is doing it so make the game better in the end so on day one of whatever MMO it is, it doesn't crash then and you have a smooth experience from the start.
Anyway thats my two cents I'll write on other things when I feel the need write whatever comments you want see you latter bye bye.
