Right now many people are considering this the worst game launch in gaming history. There are a zillion bugs, the servers keep crashing, the servers that are working are usually full. There are video card issues, firewall issues, the list goes on and on. It will probably be best to wait at least a month for some of these issues to clear up (Hopefully).

I was in the beta up to two weeks ago.. there was absolutely no way that this should have been released so soon.. half the things were not even finished..

Another link to a review of this game. And once again I urge those of you out there not to waste your money. I am going to try to return mine tomorrow.

Quote from above review:

"Before I start, I need you all to relate with me on a different level to the point I am going to try and make. Ready? Good. Imagine you are in a restaurant in which you have to pay a $15.00 a month membership fee to eat there. You buy your dinner at $49.99; which on the menu looks like a perfectly cooked steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, a side of corn bread and a tall ice cold beverage. Then the server comes up with your raw hamburger, white potato soup, and a glass of rusty water. Now imagine the server telling you that in order to be able to get the meal you saw on the menu, you'll have to pay your membership fee for 6 months, and then the possibility of seeing that meal will come to arise, but we cannot make any promises."

Probably another example of:

"Let's get it on the streets now, and worry about making it work later."

Seems more and more manufacturers are practicing that philosophy, and it really sucks! [Mad]
