To say that World of WarCraft could be released today with more stability than most massively multiplayer games currently on store shelves should be quite a shocking understatement to anyone familiar with the MMORPG development community. Releasing a buggy product while applying first-aid patching and problem solving after the fact is something most players have become accustomed to since the introduction of the MMO years ago. While some games have been more reliable at launch than others, the average online role-playing game usually launches with much fan-fare, but fails to impress in the long run mostly due to the somewhat broken product coupled with equally broken promises and uninspired gameplay.
