Tweet Blizzard is hiring! Server engineer for Classic

[Docholy]

No mention of Wow, which I doubt it was an oversight. They are going to milk wow via micro transactions for years to come before they get to legacy.

The big question I have is, If blizzard is reviving those old great games, why not add vanilla WoW to the list of games?

Because they don't *want* to. For crazy reasons, but that's where they're at.

Anyway, when they say "classic", I think they mean "pristine".

"Compelling stories. Intense multiplayer. Endless replayability. Qualities that made StarCraft, Warcraft III, and Diablo II the titans of their day,"

That wording is very cleaver. At first glance it sounds like their saying the position is for StarCraft, Warcraft III, and Diablo II. However, if you look more closely you'll see the subject of the position is "Compelling stories. Intense multiplayer. Endless replayability." They call these "Qualities". And then they cite "StarCraft, Warcraft III, and Diablo II" as the examples. In other words the language is implying it's for other classic games besides StarCraft, Warcraft III, and Diablo II.

That's how I read it.

Do u think NOST team are qualified for these jobs?

They did great jobs in past years for NOST realms;
They are good for these jobs;
They have the passions, skills, even long term plans (if Blizz accepts it);
They are normal human. Better the job is, Better feedback would be.

Wish a chance for NOST team asap!

It's pretty old info. Have seen this a couple of months before. The rumor had been around D2 and W3 HD, but there is no connection to the recent Nost and legacy outrage.

Its for "classic games". They wouldn't say they are hiring for WoW vanilla without an official announcement before. This might be a way to hire without rumor.

However this is a new offer.
