Matt,
Have you played Sh5 yet while traveling on a plane accross the Atlantic? Or how about when you're on vacation at a house in the woods without Internet access? Or maybe when you're staying at a trade show in Vegas with charges up to $30 per day? or does Comcast charge you per MB like our colleagues in many places in Europe? Or have you played on a satellite connection while resting at night at a military base in Iraq?
Do you get my point yet? You and your buddies obviously don't play on the road and enjoy the unique benefit of a good stable high speed conenction all the time. However, there's a whole big world out there where Internet access is not so available.
BTW, I live in Pinellas County just accross the state from you. My home internet goes out at least 5-10 hours per week (Road Runner). When I'm home, I rarely play (Don't have the time). When I play is when I travel (usually about 1-2 weeks per month). Later this Spring I'll be in Baghdad for six weeks with nothing to do at night. Thankfully I have SH3 to help pass time. SH5 would be useless.
