As an example, I like my job, it's not perfect, but I find it very stress-free. My coworker M. complains all the time, and if you heard her you'd think it's a horrible place. We do the exact same things, but I go with the flow, while she stresses out for all the little details.<br /><br />(Oh, and my friends work in Europe. Maybe Blizzard is different in the US, I don't know. They also mentioned that another location in Europe was worse than their current one, so... the only answer is "it depends" :P)Jenhttp://www.storiesofwow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-40958847748461125872010-12-14T01:20:24.387+01:002010-12-14T01:20:24.387+01:00@Grainger: oh, it's a comedy, not for real.

I know it wasn't a big deal for most people, but I loved the idea and I'm still sad it's gone.<br /><br />Also, from what I heard, working at Blizzard isn't bad. I have two friends who work there and they seem pretty happy about how the company is treating them. It definitely sounds better than my (non-gaming) corporation :) That being said, I wouldn't want a job at Blizzard; it sounds stressful and I couldn't handle dealing with WoW players, who can be so abusive towards customer service people. (Since I don't have any skills that could be applied to the game, that's the only position that would work for me.)Jenhttp://www.storiesofwow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-80583277817571313712010-12-13T01:26:45.167+01:002010-12-13T01:26:45.167+01:00Speaking of the Great Server Divide, how about dro...Speaking of the Great Server Divide, how about dropping the server transfer fee and just letting us move about as we so desire like Wizard 101 or Guild Wars? Have a friend on a different server? Go visit them with little more than selecting an option in a dropdown menu.<br /><br />Yeah, I'll take that.<br /><br />*Tangentially, I work in the game industry, and while it could be fun to work at Blizzard, I've had my fill of big game companies when I worked for EA. I love where I'm at, a small studio with modest, fun games. If you want to know how to make bushes, though, I can walk you through it. ;)Teshhttp://tishtoshtesh.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-83290496385885796972010-12-12T19:12:32.936+01:002010-12-12T19:12:32.936+01:00btw - was this clip a comedy sit - or was it an ac...btw - was this clip a comedy sit - or was it an actual TV interview?Graingernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-39103227456622989572010-12-12T19:09:19.683+01:002010-12-12T19:09:19.683+01:00Just one wish?

I have two accounts (created a second for refer-a-friend initially), but kept the account because I grew attached to those toons and because the cost per hour of entertainment is still a great bargain. Anyways, I wish I could have all my toons together, or at the very least, up it to 15 per server.<br /><br />It may seem excessive, but considering I have horde/alliance/bank mules and like space to try new specs and characters, it isn't.Graingernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-69695587285374678342010-12-12T15:07:34.084+01:002010-12-12T15:07:34.084+01:00@Redbeard: thank you!

Last thing I remember reading was when you were thinking of trying to blog a little less. You were feeling uneasy about the amount of time you spend on WoW and were talking about maybe doing more real life things. It looks like you didn't do very good as regards your resolutions back then. Now the game provided you with an excuse that will keep the part of your brain that is still sane silent for a while. (Oh, yeah, it's a new extension. Oh, lookie, there are new ways to drain my life down the toilet. It's all so newwww, I am so delighhhted... Can't you see that it is you who are doing this to yourself?)<br /><br />If you are unwilling to take control of your life, nobody will do this for you.
