ween the various classes. I will be cross-posting this to the ROGUE, HUNTER, and MAGE forums, for reasons that you'll see below.
BACKGROUND: My main toon is a 49 Orc Shaman and I'm delighted with my choice to initially roll Shaman. I understand my role in groups, I like the enhancement spec, and I'm currently in the guild Heroes of Onyxia (server Onyxia). If I need to re-spec into resto to be more useful for my guild, then I have no problem doing that in t...

Beta Test, System Requ's, Interface, & PvP2009-11-09 00:00:00and changed
Warcraft 3 will blend very
well with World of Warcraft. You will see familiar monsters, spell effects, places and even interface icons. Yet at the same time, World of Warcraft will be a completely new and a unique experience that will captivate its players for a very long time to come. At the time of this preview the game features 5 different races: Humans, Orcs, Tauren, Night Elves and Dwarves. Blizzard plans to add more races i...
Kings of the World 2009-10-24 00:00:00Blizzard an idea of how the servers performed under strain, up to 3,000 players
were playing concurrently - and the ongoing US beta regularly enjoys 2,000 concurrent players.
Speaking to the assembled hacks on a recent press tour stop in the UK, Blizzard producer Chris Sigaty confirmed that the long-awaited European beta could kick off as soon as this
week, and said that in terms of future support, the company would "patch all regions simultaneously," so Europe wouldn't be left lagging behind. There is still the issue of players from the US and Europe being unable to play together, but as this was a design decision Blizzard is considering ways to let the hardcore world-spanning guilds get round this.
Seated comfortably in a rather grand old house somewhere in the leafy English countryside this
week -
well, outside London in any event -
we had a chance to talk to Sigaty, accompanied by Blizzard PR coordinator George Wang, at length about the forthcoming European launch, some of the problems inherent to running a game of this type and how Blizzard plans to deal with them, the benefits of the stress test, and Blizzard's stylistic approach to games in general. Oh, and since Sigaty also acted as producer on Warcraft III,
we decided to sneak in a question about what that team's been up to since then. We'll get slapped for that, but it was worth it.Eurogamer:
Do you have a planned European release target at the moment?

Lead Blizzard Dev Outlines 9 WoW Quest Problems, Admits to Designing Stranglethorn Quest2009-10-14 00:00:00Effect"
What this means, and this is kind of a
weird one, but you show up to a quest hub, and your minimap is lit up like a Christmas tree with quest exclamation marks.
The
weird thing is, if you ask our fans, they love this. This is to them a good quest hub... They go in and vacuum up the quests. But
we've lost all control to guide them to a really fun experience.
Kaplan noted that this leads to users not reading the quests, not bothering to remember which quest giver gave what, and forgetting the order in which to do the quests.
"It's much better to have a slow, guided experience," he said. "I think if you go to [Lich King zones] Borean Tundra or Howling Fjord, you'll always have a ton of quests to do, but you'll never have more than 6 or 7 quests in your quest log."
Kaplan amusingly revealed that some WoW quest designers try to get around the problem by stacki...
