Blizzard released a video today, showing a sneak peak of what will be seen during this year’s BlizzCon. They want to show the 10 years since 2004 to now, even though I didn’t pop on ’till late 2005.
So, they’re going to show a behind the scenes first time ever look of the making of WoW, and what it takes to make sure people get on their servers with little issues. They even showed a glimpse of the server room. It even showed a screen of colored dots, indicating when someone logs on and what time. That is so cool.
Another part of the video, what actually happens when Tuesday Maintenance hits.
But the one thing they seem to be trying to get out to the public, that the World of Warcraft is more than ‘just a game’. Some people see it as a second home, where others have met new friends(RL friends) and even gotten married because of WoW. Hence why they titled this teaser; “Looking for Group”.
You already know my answer to this, and it’s not at all positive. I don’t see WoW as a social event, I see it as a game. Nothing more. A device, to help keep me unbored.
Like Rexxar(and as a fellow Hunter), I work alone. And look what happened to him. He became champion of the Horde in Warcraft 3. His only friends were his pets.
If only I could do more solo scenarios in WoD. Maybe in the future. Anyway, since Blizzard is throwing this mini-10th anniversary party during BlizzCon, on December 30th, will be a new post explaining how I came into WoW. As it will mark 9 years since I showed up. 9 years of enjoying the game my way.. as a soloer.
