Launch Survival 101
It's been many years since the first MMOG launched. Even as far back as
Ultima Online, launches have always been plagued by a
substantial amount of downtime as the developers tweak the live game
and make it more playable. Yet, as much as we recognize this scenario
as part and parcel of any MMOG launch, players hit the forums to
complain as soon as a crash or any extended down-time occurs.
With the launch of Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning around the
corner, we take a look at a few simple things
style="font-style: italic;">not to do at
launch. Want to make sure that you're not "that" guy? Then you'll want
to read The Rules of Launch-gagement.
