ROC battlenet shutdown

The one thing I’ll say (aside from RoC being inaccessible is a bummer) is that their word choice seems kind of… deliberate?

Disabled just stands out to me as a funny selection. It could mean absolutely nothing but the optimist in me reads it as ‘switch flipped off right now’.

The other thing to keep in mind just for context and discussion’s sake is that they haven’t gutted Diablo 2 (you can still make non-expansion characters), you can pop into BattleNet under the original Starcraft and not Brood War, and they recently re-released Warcraft 2 and Diablo. Which you can still hop onto BNet with. Blizzard hasn’t ever really gut or shut down a game’s multiplayer before, so all I can really say is them knocking ROC out for good would be a big surprise if the current standing holds.
