I’m reluctant to fork out monthly subscriptions, but with
Xbox Live! I can say I get value
for money. It’s not that expensive (I actually pay
annually, but bear with me) and although I go for a couple of months at a time
without playing it’s still a cheap night in when I do.

So, I was surprised to find myself looking for a copy of
World of Warcraft. It’s a lot of
money (£8.99) to pay each month to play a single game. However, I’m a big fan of
Diablo II - I’ve probably spent
more time playing that then any other game - and so the prospect of
Blizzard turning their expertise to a MMO
game is an exciting one. I can’t not give it a go, now can I?

Apparently I can. Due to overwhelming popularity you can’t buy it as I
write this, not in Eurpoe, anyway. It’s hard to believe, but copies are being
rationed out, hopefully so that servers can be upgraded to handle the demand.
Apparently the next
rollout is this Friday, 15th April. I have mine on order, so hopefully I’ll
be in sometime next week!
