Awhile back I wrote about the fact that many World of Warcraft players use PerfectDisk to automatically defragment their drives and get their big MPQ files in top shape. They get their regular updates, have their drive automatically defragmented and free space consolidated with Space Restoration Technology, and get on with playing. I had one WoW player contact me to tell me that there is also a large community of players who do use PerfectDIsk to regularly and automatically defragment their entire drive, but also use PerfectDisk's single file defrag to quickly defragment the large MPQ file only, and then get on with playing. Either way, if you play WoW, you know they MPQ files are big and have the potential for slowing you down, unless you take care of them.
By the way, for all you WoW fans, in case you haven't seen them, I came across this TechRepublic gallery of pictures from last month's semi-annual BlizzCon 2007 event in Anaheim, California. Besides getting to see and play some upcoming Blizzard games and compete in tournaments, they got to participate in a costume party - crazy stuff! For all you non-WoW players -- beware.
PerfectDisk and defragging -- mostly boring. PerfectDisk in the hands of World of Warcraft gamers -- wacky.
