Patch 1.9 for World of Warcraft came out today, but no one got to play it due to increasingly crappy download experiences via the bittorrent-like Blizzard Downloader. I like to tease Mr. Smedley (over at Sony) as much as the next blogger, but at least he springs for download bandwidth. That's one victory for EQ. Here is what Blizzard says on the official FAQ regarding patching. Why isn't Blizzard supplying its own bandwidth to distribute patches and other content? I respectfully beg to differ.  |
