After Two Years
You would think they could manage to keep the WoW forums online, well, all the time. I constantly get errors from the forums. The features that should be available to use are broken. Or, one of my favorites, I write a post that takes longer than the time-out period for my session and it logs me out, losing the post entirely. That’s just poor forum software.
I don’t check out the forums all the time, usually my realm forums about three times a week, and the general forums maybe once. When I do want to look at the forums though, it would be nice if, you know, it was possible to. I understand that in-game downtime would be much more of a hassle to people, and I don’t disagree, but making your web presence suck doesn’t exactly put customers in a good mood either. Of course, I don’t think Blizzard much cares about their customers anymore.
Is anyone else annoyed by how shockingly awful the WoW official forums are? I know they just upgraded, but I think they should do it again, with an upgrade that actually works.
