Thanks for the link, Ghostiger. I had to stop after a few pages, I got the gist of the discussion and a few of Crane's follow on comments. Not sure how credible the source is.

The rest of the discussion here is too close to what is going on at work for me, though I do appreciate Lissa and a few other's insights. The system we are trying to make work, content provided by a contractor for our operations, is over budget and late on schedule, but we, like Blizz, really have no viable plan B. Being in that position suxors ass, since our downstream customers come to us for resolution of "it don't bloody well work right." I have a good feeling for what Blizz faces each day with the user community being less than pleased.

Savaughn's timeline on getting a big system to settle in sure rings a bell with me, and our system is nowhere near as complex or bandwidth intensive as the dynamic environment of MMORPG.

As to cost, an awful lot of things in life cost more than one thinks. Until one gets into the belly of the beast, for example, one really does not understand the infamous $700.00 hammer. :whistling:
