Originally posted by QuicklyScott It is kinda true. In the late 90s were the team that worked on WC3 also putting in a little time on their own version of EQ set in the same world. The whole idea was lead designer Jeff Strains and he got permision from Mike Morhaime who also was a EQ fanatic. But when they actually showed what they had done Blizzard got really interested and made a huge featurelist that they demanded to be included, and it had Strains most hated word on it, monthly fees. So Strain got upset and he and his 2 main programers, Wyatt and O'brien left to make their own MMO. Sadly didn´t they got enough funding so they made a CORPG instead. Meanwhile did Morhaime got a huge portion of luck, he was chatting with a random guildie who seemed smart and asked if he would be interested in some kind of work, he was named Kaplan and Morhaime was so impressed by him that he let him take over the Warcraft MMO project. So in a way is the whole thing True, Jeff Strain did get the idea for both Wow and GW2 but he didn´t complete either game since he left ANET 3 years ago for Undead labs. Only Mike O'brien is still working at ANET from the original WC3/Wow team. |

Vanilla WoW devs made a game with no emphasis on world pvp whatsoever? No wonder they are ex blizzard. |

Strain could have stuck w GW2 but that did not satisfy him, so he left ANET to do a console mmo sandbox game
i never get tired of reading Strains Dev speech from 5 years ago http://www.guildwars.com/events/tradeshows/gc2007/gcspeech.php The truth is, I hope that I am completely ignorant about what kind of games we'll be making in ten years, because I hope some hotshot kid comes out of nowhere and changes everything out from under us before then. If that doesn't happen, we've all failed to embrace and protect the culture of innovation that made it possible for us to be here in the first place.
