That time of the week for The MMO Report: Thursday, November 19th, and Casey has news on WoW, Guild Wars 2, and The Secret World beta.
To celebrate WoW's fifth wow gold anniversary, Production Director J. Allen Brack and Blizzard art mastermind "Samwise" Didier sat down with our sister site The Escapist to talk about microtransactions, Cataclysm, and what the hell is up with the Pandaren.
This is a full transcript of the interview - to read a summary of the juicy bits, head over to The Escapist!
Casey is back yet again to bring a fresh, wow gold kaufensteaming helping of MMO news. This week we'll tell you about a possible hint towards the release schedule for Guild Wars 2, a bunch of news about the game we all know too well, World of Warcraft, and how you can get a beta code for The Secret World by playing Age of Conan.
I don't know that we had a vision of the future in that regard. The best vision of the future anyone ever painted before we launched was Allen Adham, one of the founding members of Blizzard. After E3, he got the WoW team together and was talking about how great it had looked on the floor, how great the game was, and about how we had something special on our hands. And one day, he said, we were going to have a million subscribers.
The team thought it was very nice of him to say, it was very cool that he said that... but we did not believe him in any possible way. We knew that no game could ever have a million subscribers, EQ was the big one and it didn't even have half a million. And he was probably the most optimistic person at Blizzard in terms of how things would go.
