Blizzards "core values"

1. gameplay FIRST

Everything we do at Blizzard Entertainment is based on the success of the gaming experiences we provide our players. The goal of each discipline within the company -- be it art, programming or customer support -- is to make our games as fun as possible for as many people as we can reach.

2. Commit To Quality

“Blizzard polish” doesn’t just refer to our gameplay experiences, but to every aspect of our jobs. We approach each task carefully and seriously. We seek honest feedback and use it to improve the quality of our work. At the end of the day, most players won’t remember whether the game was late -- only whether it was great.

3. Play Nice; Play Fair

In our business first impressions are important -- but lasting impressions are everything. We strive to maintain a high level of respect and integrity in all interactions with our players, colleagues, and business partners. The conduct of each Blizzard Entertainment employee, whether online or offline, can reflect on the entire company.

4. Embrace Your Inner Geek

Everyone here is a geek at heart. Cutting-edge technology, comic books, science fiction, top-end video cards, action figures with the kung-fu grip…. Whatever it is they’re passionate about, it matters that each employee embraces it! Their unique enthusiasm helps to shape the fun, creative culture that is Blizzard Entertainment.

5. Every Voice Matters

Great ideas can come from anywhere. Blizzard Entertainment is what it is today because of the voices of our players and of each member of the company. Every employee is encouraged to speak up, listen, be respectful of other opinions, and embrace criticism as just another avenue for great ideas.

6. Think Globally

Everywhere on the planet there are people who play Blizzard Entertainment games. While respecting the cultural diversity that makes people unique, we strive to grow and support our global gaming community. We also seek the most passionate, talented people in the world to enrich our company and help us forge the future vision of Blizzard Entertainment.


7. Lead Responsibly

Our products and practices can affect not only our employees and players -- but the industry at large. As one of the world’s leading game companies, we’re committed to making ethical decisions, always keeping our players in mind, and setting a strong example of professionalism and excellence at all times.

8. Learn & Grow

The games industry is ever-changing. Technology improves, techniques change, and design philosophies become outdated. Since the founding of Blizzard Entertainment, we’ve worked to improve through experience, teaching one another and cultivating the desire to be the best at what we do. We see this as an individual responsibility as well as a company one. Employees can count on their peers, managers, and the company itself to be supportive and help them gain the knowledge and training they need.

Hype for unsubbing from blizzard when they don't announce anything.

[wowmad]

I WANT NOSTALRIUS BACK!!!

[Quazzle]

Got my T-Shirt today!

So happy about it and even more about the announcement! Even as poor student, anytime I would pay the 15 bucks for vanilla wow.

[Vraul Jawrip]

Very bold! This is excellent news! I cannot wait for BlizzCon this year, I might even have to get a virtual ticket!

I would have bought a T-shirt to support you had i known about this, like most i was under the impression you guy's had given up and would look to pursue this no longer - along with your statement you would honor blizzards request to shut down the server and not release the code. This made a lot of us lose faith in you as we all know (as should you, should you not be a complete fool) that blizzard will never release legacy servers because they want you on the current version, constantly buying new expansions, and paying $20-$50 for a fucking mount. all they care about is money and there is no money in bringing back vanilla wow as it would cost them time and resources to set it up again. they don't want to do it. The day they merged with activision was the day they no longer cared about their customers - they ONLY care about money. And here is not enough money in their eyes that can be harvested from a vanilla server.

I hope you grow a pair and restore the server, including the database that has our characters and progress before the server shut down in a country with no internet law's in a way that you are protected from legal action.

Fuck greedy corporations.

Fuck blizzard.

Long Live Nostalrius!
