Whats foad pave? And Crak, what's the problem with asking legitimate questions? It's better then asking stupid questions like "lol whens my next shiny pony?" or "how lung dus de servers take to come up gg".

I only have one question - Can you take me with you? :(

Nah, seriously, i'm curious if they have more expansions for WoW planned. They probably are going to brush that question off with no real reply, mainly I want to know if they still have plans to do the Emerald Nightmare cos I just got done reading the Stormrage novel about Malfurion Stormrage's fight in the Emerald Nightmare and it was epic!

Also, give them kudos for upping the difficulty of Cataclysm and bringing some strategy and finesse back into pve, after the faceroll that Wrath became I'm avidly looking forward to it. Make sure they don't cave to pressure from people crying about it being too hard, keep it challenging!

Also, get them to give me a job. I'll work cheap.

Q: What is Blizzards opinion on the regionalised pricing that Australians have to endure .. time and time again Steam say it's the publishers that set the pricing, so why would a publisher try to tax us for living somewhere that's awesome.

Interesting question TicMan.

Any chance you could tell us the names of some of the people you will be interviewing and/or their positions within the company? It would mean we could ask questions specifically for each interviewee.

Ask them how much money they got for their soul from Activision.

Actually scrap that; the price would have been minimal because they already lost most of their soul a while ago. Since WoW they've been going downhill and assuming that all gamers are knobs that still live with their parents at age 30 and are more than willing to pay huge amounts for restricted nothingness (Starcraft 2 cut into 3 pieces, SC2 and D2 have no LAN, etc). Yet another company that I will boycott. I think I'm left with Valve and indie games now...oh well.

What f***ing tripe.

Funny, I couldn't find anywhere in Steve's OP where he's looking for lame/inflammatory questions for Blizzard, about pricing/WoW/hosting/the-tinfoil-conspiracy-that-is-Activision (partnership). :P

Now that THQ are making Warhammer games, are they going to look for another fantasty universe to brazenly rip off ?

Jesus so many of you people are so negative and angry and depressive. If you don't like their games, just f*** off from them, if you hate life so much that everything makes you angry, then there's really only one solution.

Thank god some of you are boycotting Blizzard, means less whinging d*******s I have to deal with while playing their games.

Edit: a few too many people with ODD methinks!

Because you know, Warhammer is so amazingly original and not derivative in the slightest.

Ask them if they can please buy out THQ and finish making the warhammer 40k mmo so it doesn't get ruined.

Creepy and Cos, at least my question, and a couple other psoters about servers being hosted here, isn't inflammatory or retarded. It is a legitimate question, and why should we stop asking them just cause they said they're thinking about it last time we did? Updates are always needed.

In all seriousness though, if you can find a way to slide in a question about what it actually takes to get hired by blizzard, I'm geuinely interested :) I'd imagine they have pretty high standards, and they can afford to, I'm just wondering what sort of things they look for, are they more interested in people with a lot of experience and impressive resumes, or people who've shown a bit of initiative and maybe built a small game under their own steam. What sort of things do they value and look for, and where do Blizzard people in general come from, like what background?

And would they hire an aussie or is that just too much effort to get sorted out :P

Q. Are they planning on adding class specific mounts for hunters, priests, rogues etc, like there are for pallys, warlocks and death knights?

Khel - submit your resume! They aren't going to know about you, if you don't throw your hat into the ring. Create a profile at their careers section and send it in.

Their employee benefits are excellent. The quality of working life varies though, depending on which dept you're part of. Also, Irvine's campus is supposedly better than the Texas facility. But that'd probably be due more to the Development vs Logistics/Support breakup.

I'm actually serious about my Rock & Roll Racing question :) Possibly an XBLA/PSN HD version would suffice :D

Another question about there older I.P.s, could we possibly see a 4 player Lost Vikings Game on XBLA/PSN?
