Its not a let down to me at all. It is not WOW and never was going to be - sure you can say they want it to be competative with WOW... why bother entering the market at all if you dont have that in mind. To say its a a failure is silly. Its a different approach to how an MMO is played. I for one love it and have a great time being more of a solo player with it. So people can talk all they want - 1.3 million subs is a fantastic start. WOW couldnt say that when they launched. AND - WOW has been around for how many years and you expect this to kill them instantly? heh.
