Platform Nation: For most people, this is pretty insignificant news, though its implications dig pretty deep. I mean, how could it not? This is Blizzard we’re talking about here. Bashiok, aka Micah Whipple, has been a longstanding community manager for Blizzard, formerly as Drysc for World of Warcraft before moving over to Diablo III and changing his handle. It made sense for Blizzard. Diablo III was their big release for 2012 (and possibly for the foreseeable future), so why not move over one of the big names from World Of Warcraft‘s award-winning community management team to oversee the new release?
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
