> Yeah. The model with WoW was supposed to be monthly content updates. This basically didn't happen from release in November '04 until March or so. Since then, they've released two patches that could be qualified as content patches, but one of them (the PvP honor system) merely instituted what was obviously always intended to be a core game component.

To my understanding, a lot of the problem is that the game sold MUCH more heavily than Blizzard anticipated, and the infrastructure wasn't ready for the load it was asked to handle. In fact, Blizzard stopped shipping the game and froze creation of new accounts for a while as a result. I think the months prior to March, Blizzard was still reeling from the volume. Now, I agree, the game is back on track.
