WoW: Blogeinträge als Guides für neue Spieler
Da die rund um den Kinofilm „Warcraft: The Beginning“ organisierten Werbeevents vermutlich viele neue Spieler nach Azeroth locken werden, haben die Mitarbeiter von Blizzard in den vergangenen Tagen nun eine Reihe von neuen englischen Blogeinträgen auf ihrer offiziellen Seite veröffentlicht, die diesen Personen den Einstieg in die komplexen Abläufe von World of Warcraft etwas vereinfachen sollen. Während einer der bisherigen Artikel sich dann mit den grundlegenden Elementen der Bewegung und des Kämpfens beschäftigt, so versorgen die anderen beiden Blogeinträge die Leser mit einer Vielzahl von Informationen zu dem Wald von Elwynn als Startgebiet der Menschen und der dort stattfindenden Levelphase zwischen Stufe 1 und Stufe 10.
Zusätzlich dazu möchten die Mitarbeiter von Blizzard in den kommenden Tagen dann auch noch ähnliche Beiträge für die Fraktion der Horde veröffentlichen, die neuen Spielern dann die Stadt Orgrimmar und das Leveln mit frisch erstellten Charakteren in Durotar näher bringen sollen. Wann genau diese aktuell noch fehlenden Artikel der Entwickler allerdings erscheinen sollen, steht im Moment leider noch nicht fest.
