Damn cutting edge gfx for 2004.
But then again, it's free ^_^ Looks like it could be a nice RPG to kill some time with.

I still have faith they will deliver a nice product at the end of the day, even if that end of the day is 3 years after the last expansion. It's their business model.

They already confirmed chat channels, and are considering Cross-Realm play/LAN.

I'll continue:
The attempt to not make use of UDP to further grip their game (had to be changed for networking though)
microtransactions
poor PR control with little to no remorse
Online Ladder giving everyone a carebear atmosphere *(IM NUMBER 1 IN DIAMOND! ...with 5000000 other people.)

It doesn't matter. 8 months after SC2 is out most of the people who signed up for TL.net after its release will have moved on to the next "blockbuster title". :D
Most (probably not all -- we might have caught a few people who will actively contribute after that arbitrary line I just made up) of these people are probably the same type of people who make the New Year's Resolution to get in shape, spend a month at the gym doing improper, inefficient, and often dangerous exercises, and then don't come back when they don't see any immediate results after a few weeks.

It wasn't long ago that EA was actually losing money because of their antics. PR is important to this industry. It ain't hollywood.

I don't know about losing money, but these companies are very aware of how PR effects their bottom line, and this move to precisely that
