Ask Blizzard Employees About Things That Matter

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.

World of Warcraft?

[Tiber]

Why are there no black people in World of Warcraft? Are you guys some kind of racists? Or maybe all that Norse mythology went to your head along with the Esoteric Hitlerism?

Anyone who feels like answering

It could be argued that since the game-making powerhouses behind the Diablo1 era games have moved on, Blizzard has been inadequately clawing to stay at the top of the mountain of excellence. How do you feel about Blizz corporate throwing away most of gamers remaining goodwill by its inapparopriate and heavy-handed litigious bludgeoning of the creators of BnetD and MMO Glider?
