It occurred to me today that I said:

“Butt groove”
“Trust me, bro”
“Team Finger Guns” (with a finger guns pew pew hand motion)

…all on stage at blizzcon.

Not sure how to feel about any of that. I guess this is what happens when I don’t have a teleprompter to help me keep my shit together!

Been seeing a lot of comments on the balance on the pvp rulesets today. Important thread to check out regarding that: us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/pvp-f…

This bit posted later on in the replies regarding trial accounts is also extra important as there is a ton of misinformation flying around about this:

"After significant investigation there is no evidence that trial characters had any impact at all. When we say 55/45, we are looking at the active logged-in population across all levels over a specific period of time."

Additionally, we made some adjustments via hotfix today to adjust the population targets of certain zones to make many of them feel less congested, as well as some tweaks and fixes to the population balance per zone/per layer.

Things are looking really solid at the ruleset level, and we are dialing in outliers quickly. Appreciate all the comments about it!

I sat here trying to write something poignant about this but I think for now I'll just say:

Thank you for being a part of this with us.

...and now let's go play some World of Warcraft: Forever!

Long day but great day today!

A few things to catch folks up on:

1. Transports - we had some issues with the service that manages transports like boats and zeppelins. As a temp fix we spawned some portals to get us through the night. We’ll have a proper fix in the morning and the portals will be removed.

2. Layer populations - we are aware some zones feel more empty than they should. Tomorrow we’ll be tweaking some numbers to make things feel more lively. Sit tight!

Thanks for everyone making this a great, super smooth launch! I’m going to head home and “go to sleep” now. Yep, sleeping. Totally not playing WoW Forever until 3am. Nope.

Very, very soon.
