I think the blitz has appeal. However, it only works as a "hey let's play" in the IRC channel; there's ppl sitting around ready to do that sort of thing then.

You simply can't get enough ppl to agree to sit down for that kind of block of time on a sunday afternoon to blitz start what is actually a larger game. a typical blitz requires, max, four ppl; easily had in the IRC channel. the semi blitz requires around eight, and they have to be willing to do the blitz start and then follow through with the game. Just too much commitment.

ppl have tried and ppl have failed. its just the logistics of the matter. without a WoW addiction type crowd, we will never have a semi blitz. part of the appeal of this game is that it allows MP play with a flexible schedule. I think you will find a large portion of the fan base are ppl looking for just such a game.
