[QUOTE="The_Gneech, post: 3725398, member: 6779"] Hey, I worked for a dot-com company and we had problems with internet access. That's nothing unusual. :) I would certainly [i]expect[/i] the DI servers to be beefier, but I would have expected that of their [i]current[/i] servers when the 4E announcement went out, and when the [i]Dragon / Dungeon[/i] deathknell rang out. For that matter, I would have expected them to do "MasterTools" right. This is why I say it's iffy -- their track record. Support, same deal. Gaming companies generally, and WotC worst of all, seem to have very short attention spans these days. Maybe they're just following the market, or maybe it's the rate of churn in the industry, I can't say. But I will be surprised if in, say, three years, people aren't laughing as they recall the Digital Initiative the same way they laugh as they recall Menudo -- assuming they recall it at all. And I can do an offline search through a magazine. In fact, I do it frequently! It involves my eyes and fingers instead of a keyboard, but it works just fine. -The Gneech :cool: [/QUOTE]
