[QUOTE="LeaderDesslok, post: 4282283, member: 18722"] Not having the GSL ready on June 6, as promised, is bad but not horrible as it doesn't impact gameplay. (Note: yes I know there was a short press release that said it would come out a week later, but that came out after the press release stating how excited they were that the GSL and SRD would be available on June 6. And the updated press release was posted on June 6!) Not having the web site ready, and especially not having even a single element of the DDI available on June 6, is inexcusable. Even in the obscure, buried, brief mention that DDI would be mostly unavailable, we were still supposed to get the database, and even that couldn't be done on time. Meanwhile, all the books have ads, and all the stores have displays, telling folks to go to DnDInsider.com for a 10-day free trial, and find that there's [B]NOTHING THERE[/B]. Even after a weekend firestorm of complaints and questions, the d&d page remains unchanged. I literally just looked at it again and there is [B][I]still [/I] [/B] no mention that it will be months before everything will be online, nor is there an apology of any sort to all of the people who bought the books expecting an online aspect that has been touted as a revolutionary innovation to the game. I noted a mention from Scott Rouse at Gleemax regarding the release of the PDF versions of the core books; he "hopes" they will be ready in a week or so. He hopes? HE HOPES? Although I haven't got a ton of interest in 4E, I really want it to succeed and I thought the DDI might make it more attractive to me. Being lied to--yes, LIED TO--about the availability of the the DDI service is appalling and, although it could never be proven illegal, it is certainly unethical. To paraphrase the Monarch: Wizards of the Coast, how does it feel to have your pants constantly on fire? (I'd have posted this at WotC's forums but they appear to be having server problems [go figure.] My apologies for ranting.) [/QUOTE]
