World Of Warcraft: 41 pics from E3 & why WoW's PvP is consensual!

| 16 May 2003 02:29

[small]EDIT: The images have been moved to the WoW Warcry server. They were on my personal web server, and I don't have near the bandwidth that Warcry has. --Ascendath[/small]

I would first like to give credit to my lovely assistant camerawoman ( and wifey poo! ), Doom Poopsie, for snapping some of these pics while I spoke to the devs and played ( errr.....tested ) World of Warcraft!

I will say one thing first.....GET A MOUNT!

Running in WoW is....

S.........L.........O.........W.

Druids and other classes have abilities like 'Panther Form' that take the edge off the DAoC-like runspeed. I would also like to point you to King of Dragon's E3 Q&A with the dev team that sheds more light on mounts and a great variety of other topics. You can view our Warcry E3 Coverage Section HERE!

One of the topics I spent time discussing with the devs was the PvP issue (yes, I was mostly pleading with them to make non-consensual!). Mark, the dev I spent the most time with, mentioned he was formerly a tech support rep for Blizzard. He stated that while working the phones, he received a massive amount of calls from people who had been killed by other players and seemed to have some sympathy for them. I also got the vibe that Blizzard was somewhat frustrated and did not wish to waste a great deal of man power and customer service resources covering old ground, especially in regards to PvP/PK.
