BBC News They give the example of a spike in activity on a World of Warcraft chat forum on the Chinese website Baidu. A thread titled "Junpeng Jia, your mother asked you to go back home for dinner!" received over 300000 replies over a two day period. … |
Community Manager Zarhym posted last night, from home, a rather lengthy letter to the WoW world. It summed up nicely the different jobs of the community team at Blizzard and what their goals are. Zarhym also went a step further and said that they (the blues) haven’t been posting on the forums as much as they would like to and that they’re going to continue to improve their communication with the community.
It’s an interesting read and should be taken as welcome insight from someone at Blizzard who honestly cares about the community he services.
The entire post, after the break.

World of Warcraft moves to slay forum trolls

Blizzard is moving all of their forums to the Real ID system. This means there are major changes coming to the official forums, ones that we all need to be aware of.
The largest change is that the real life names will now be displayed on the official forums via the associated Real ID account. We do not know if this is retroactive. But after the launch of Cataclysm, if you post on the official forum, your real life name will be displayed.
The exact section that concerns this is as follows:
VanerasThe official forums have always been a great place to discuss the latest info on our games, offer ideas and suggestions, and share experiences with other players — however, the forums have also earned a reputation as a place where flame wars, trolling, and other unpleasantness run wild. Removing the veil of anonymity typical to online dialogue will contribute to a more positive forum environment, promote constructive conversations, and connect the Blizzard community in ways they haven’t been connected before. With this change, you’ll see blue posters (i.e. Blizzard employees) posting by their real first and last names on our forums as well.
