Comments on: World of Warcraft Beta 1 http://www.aelon.net/2004/09/world-of-warcraft-beta-1/ Random babblings from a few digitally inclined people Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:52:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Cyrris http://www.aelon.net/2004/09/world-of-warcraft-beta-1/#comment-149 Thu, 09 Sep 2004 11:13:19 +0000 http://www.aelon.net/2004/09/world-of-warcraft-beta-1/#comment-149 And a fanatical user base they do indeed have. I can't really think of any other game developer which had such a solid foundation on which to build a ground-breaking MMORPG. Blizzard already had the vast game world, the skilled and experienced employees, and the huge number of fans who were ecstatic at being able to help out. So far their execution seems to have been pretty much perfect. And a fanatical user base they do indeed have.

If you check the beta forums there is a thread (made by blizzard employees) covering almost everything and how the players would like it to be improved or something. They are definitly using the fanatical user base to get some ideas for things which is nice.

Not sure if they'll release the results of the survey for a while...

That sounds so incredibly awesome. If I had a credit card, I would seriously consider buying this game when it is released. Although pings here in Oz will probably be abominable. Wow.
