It’s been amazing working on Warcraft again. Like coming home. The stories we’re developing right now – how the world unfolds over the next few years… Well, I can’t wait for y’all to see where we’re headed.
SOON… :)
My favorite thing is the random pick up groups to get quests done. The drive by buffs and heals. Asking advice/directions... I love that sense of community we had... have. :) That’s the gift of Classic.
You guys are the gift of Classic.
Well, I guess retirement didn’t last as long as I thought it would...
I’ve started a new career adventure! New worlds await!
Come see what the hubbub’s all about!

To those of you who lost your jobs today - I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine your heartache today. But as a member of this wonderful community, I want to thank you. For your contribution, dedication to and passion for the worlds we love and share...
Hey WoW Team... WELL DONE! I’m having so much fun! On to Maldraxxus! Getting lost in new worlds... that’s what it’s all about. Imagination overdrive. :)

I feel like I’ve really achieved something! The ‘achievement’ being holding it together while waiting on looting ground objects in Coldridge. :) It’s so amazing seeing so many players together again!!!!
My ‘creative big brother’ forever. Thank you for everything you taught me - and all the adventures (both real and imagined) we’ve shared over the years. You are the mighty heart of the Storm. Always were. Always will be.
Those of you going to Blizzcon today, have a blast! It should be a really great show! Take care of each other in Anaheim! :) Blizzard folks - break a leg! Can’t wait to see what you’ve been crafting for us all! :) I’ll be cheering you on from my mostly peaceful-quiet living room!
15 years ago, we first set foot in World of
#Warcraft
. Thank you for years of epic adventures and fellowship! What are your favorite memories from your journey in Azeroth?
Professionally, you may find your way to other game studios - new adventures and vocations - but you will always be proud ambassadors of this gaming community we’ve all shared and built together. Peace and love, y’all.
Flailing about the apocalypse doesn’t help. Positivity and faith in the long run actually DO help. A community that doesn’t support each other won’t last. Be positive for each other. Be constructive. Anger just breeds anger. I think Yoda said that once...
Hey
@ChristieGolden
, I love what you do. Your creativity breathes life into the world(s). Stories and their turns are important for sure, but having the courage to tell them in the first place is what really matters.
While I don’t represent Blizzard anymore, I want to say that despite how hard this week was - the folks still there are some of the most dedicated and passionate developers in the world. They give their ALL daily...... for YOU guys. Cont’d...
So,
@aaronehasz
cleared me to announce that I did the voice for Thunder - the Dragon-King - in Dragon Prince season 3! The show drops on my birthday (thanks, Aaron) Nov 22nd! Cant wait to see it!
@thedragonprince
This is a thoughtful write-up and I couldn’t agree more with the sentiment. Jeff was the very best of us at Blizzard. He truly gave his all into his work and for his team(s).
I wish my friend all the best on wherever his path leads.

My counsel is that everyone take a deep breath and enjoy the ride. I will! You haven’t seen the whole form of the wave yet. As Douglas Adams would tell you - Don’t panic! :)
...and if not... if all of this- if all the promises at
#Blizzcon
and interviews and on and on turn out to be like the floating ash that now washed up on the shores of Darkshore...
Well then- I suppose I'll be saddened I survived long enough to see it burn.
#Warbringers
Yes, the business end of things can be tough sometimes - but that’s every company. Blizzard’s not done. Or over. Or on fire. Rough patch, maybe? But the people there are brilliant and working hard every day. Support them. Encourage them where you can. Cont’d...
@TerranGregory
You would not have all that negativity if you developers actually drew upon the Ideas and thoughts of the majority of the player base. It's sad really how much money we pour on you developers and the lack of quality content is a real concern.
/2 we haven’t worked closely together sorry nice WotLK. I never heard a peep about him other than that he could be tough on his team or an asshole from time to time. So learning all this the past week has been just utterly shocking. Just reprehensible shit.
Part one of the new
@ChrisMetzen
interview series is up. "Open Book". In all the places you get it: The beginning of a cool new series. I think you will dig it!
My ebook Of Blood and Honor (while written at an 8tth grade level :P) was meant to be a cool primer - one orc, one human - to illustrate the core tensions of the setting... Ease folks into things. Based on the old sci-Fi film Enemy Mine. It’d make a cool film/show. Just sayin. :)
The Dragon Prince, an epic fantasy series by the head writer and director of Avatar: the Last Airbender, is coming soon to Netflix! Learn more at our San Diego Comic-Con panel on 7/21/18 @ 11AM in room 25ABC.

Back in 2010 I heard these words spoken by someone I've never met–but would absolutely love to–and whom I've looked up to for years. I've spent countless hours immersed in the worlds he's helped create, and can only hope to do that for others someday!

We just received a sneak peek of a black and white proof of
#Auroboros
... just around 400 pages of lore, art, and rules! We can't wait to get the final version in your hands!
As for Alex. I loved working with him and jamming in story meetings. He was someone I thought very highly of on the job, but we never interacted outside of story jams and such. I was never his boss. We never really interacted outside of doing the work or taking smoke breaks…
