That's what I'm talking about. It must look pretty cartoony like WoW.

Strikes me as a really weird bug to make it to a released game.

Wow. ummm... whoops! Only thing I can think is they didn't spend much time in QA at the login screen, figuring the bugs would be in the game code itself...

Not so much a bug as a lack of a setting. It isn't really blizzard's fault though, this is likely only happening to people who never clean their computers.

But it must be the most well-drawn login screen in the world.

I would expect that at least some of the beta-testers had badly maintained PCs. (Dust is the #1 killer of course.)

That, and you would think that it would be a "known" thing to do with login and options screens after all these years of making games. Just funny a simple bug lasted that long.

Yeah, but we also think after 5 years, they'd have learned how to apply a patch in WoW. To this day, patch day is still riddled with problems, extra long maintenance, world server crashing, instance server crashing, UI problems, random disconnects, broken mods.. you name it.

Seems pretty stupid to me. Even with a poorly maintained machine you would have to sit at that login screen a long time for it to really do any damage.

I don't know about other people and starcraft but I frequently leave my WoW screen at character selection which gets booted to login screen after a while. I come back a few hours later realizing I left it on.
