Ask Blizzard Employees About Things That Matter

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the opportune-moment dept.

In just a few days, some of us will be making the trek to this year's Blizzcon event in Anaheim, CA. In addition to the interesting announcements, sneak peeks, and other distractions, we will be sitting down with several Blizzard employees to answer any questions you might have. So far we have scheduled some time with Chris Sigaty, lead producer on StarCraft II; Jeffrey Kaplan (aka Tigole), game director for World of Warcraft; Leonard Boyarsky, lead world designer on Diablo III; and Paul Sams, Blizzard COO. Please address your questions to one (or several) of these candidates and try to keep them civil and on topic. Questions about Diablo III's art style will most likely be omitted since we have limited time and that dead horse has already been beaten into submission. The usual Slashdot interview rules apply, but beyond that, the sky is the limit.

  1. Unban my account by MobileMrX · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This is directed at Paul Sams:

    A few years ago my account was banned for botting through parts of the game that are terribly tedious. I am not admitting or denying guilt regarding this, but I do have two questions for someone in your position:

    1) Can you unban accounts

    and

    2) Can you unban mine?

    On a side note, (this might be more for Jeffrey Kaplan) make things less tedious! ;)

    Thanks in advance!

    Arguably? It is or it isn't. And I don't want to go look it up.

  4. Can I get my Blizzard friend status back? by CrazyJim1 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I was once a Blizzard friend from Warcraft 3. I didn't know you could lose Blizzard friend status by not betaing a game(The Frozen Throne). I was busy writing my own MMORPG or I would have betaed TFT better. I was the first to 1500 wins in Warcraft3. I'm worried I won't get into Starcraft 2 beta. I have high hopes for SC2. I want to help beta the game, and I want to later go pro with it too. I'm strong with game balance, and you guys considered me for a game design position for WOW at one point. Can Blizzard give me back my friend status?

    And if you have time for a 2nd question: Do you have any original Activision/Blizzard titles under consideration?
