For us gamers, playing our favorite games is bliss. What could be more cooler than a day on a comfy chair with a bag of chips sitting on our lap while raiding or PVP'ing in Azeroth in World of Warcraft? Answers to that would be few but we bet working behind the scenes of the world's most popular MMORPG is among them.
Blizzard Entertainment has put up a post in their official site announcing their plans of holding a mini job fair at this year's Games Developers Conference in Austin, Texas.

Mystikravyn concludes her post wondering if there is a web page or a site devoted to these "fun" World of Warcraft items. I don't know of one, other than searching the database sites by hand. I know if anybody knows of the existence of such a place, it would have to be our WoW Insider readers, and I'm sure you will share this information in your comments. Also, what fun goodies do you have clogging up bank space?

Nethaera from Blizzard shares some thoughts about Blizzard's stance in terms of PvP vs PvE in Arena. We are going to continue to develop both PvP and PvE content. PvE isn't being phased out for Arenas. These sorts of debates between PvP and PvE are inevitable given the nature of trying to balance two aspects of the game that some people feel conflict with each other. Some people don't care for PvP and some don't care for PvE but the availability of both is still there for everyone.

Thousands of funny conversations happen in the World of Warcraft every day. Just by looking at the multitude of available videos that can make anyone laugh, we know that plenty of humor can be found from millions of WoW citizens. To record the hilarity in the pages of history, someone going by the name Furism decided to make a website compiling all lulz-worthy conversations from any MMORPGs

It looks like WoW might be implementing a change in the near future to allow you to change your appearance. That'd be great!

The search for new revenue streams is one of the most talked-about goals in video gaming, and a hot MMO can propel a studio and a publisher for years. And for all the buzz at E3 about next-gen this and super-console that, there will be many o ther conversations about how to replicate a World of Warcraft -level success. Lots and lots of companies are attempting to make the next great MMO, said Ellinger at DigiPen.
