• Vengeance of the Void Leak Update

    Love it or hate it, the Vengeance of the Void "Leak" has drawn a lot of attention from sites around the "WoWosphere". It is a dry period for WoW news, so the leak has shaped up to be pretty predictably popular (and controversial).

    Let it be known that any and all leaks, past and present, are never absolutely true until confirmed by Blizzard. MMO Champion in specific has claimed that the document is false. I'm not inclined to believe that it's true or false, but people have brought up some good points about the validity of the first page.

    Some have been incredibly vocal, and at times fiery:

    We'll be dropping the rest of the 15 page document on July 5th. It's an interesting read, but we'll have to wait for Blizzcon or any confirmed information by Blizzard to know whether or not there's any truth behind it.

      This is the fakest piece of trolling I've ever seen. Only someone who knows nothing about what things are really like within Blizzard would put "Activision Blizzard" letterhead on this. That alone is an obvious sign of fakery. I despise Boubille, but he's right on the money on this one as to the clear signs of its forgery. Not to mention other made-up details about the company, i.e., "the Creative department". When, not if, but when it comes out that this is fake, what are you going to say then Aphel? Try to play it off like it was part of your plan? "Lolz, we sure got you!" Respectfully, what little credibility you have left continues to trickle away. Aphel, this is the second time I've seen a story of yours scratch and claw to make it seem like you have "inside info" when you not only have none, you continue to show how disconnected you are from Blizzard and the industry as a whole (see: predicition on 'World of Starcraft' being announced at Blizzcon 2010). The only people who think "Activision Blizzard" is a development company or has anything to do with Blizzard Entertainment's development work are fanboys on the internets. There isn't an ounce of truth in this.

      Game developers have "Creative" departments.......someone has to come up with all the supporting Lore and Legend.....do you that it's sheer coincidence that hundreds, if not thousands of quests and lines all actually connect and make sense?! Activision is the owning company of Blizz, the letterhead doesn't set off any "OMG IT's ****ING FAKE" alarms. That's just like our military memos, it will have the USAF, then the underlying squadron or organization right next to, or under it. As I said before, I think it may be real. If not, someone is very, very good at making the hoax.

      I'm waiting for the 14 pages as well. Wonder if that'll even be up in the next few hours. Another thing I was looking at is the old Q & A panel, why is it that there are fifteen pages of notes but Alex Afrasiabi and Chris Metzen were holding no notes. Why would a refresher come out months before Blizzcon if they'll be the only two on stage. It could be for the blues but it's WAY TOO SOON for Blizzcon prep with them, I assume

      This is exactly my point: only someone who doesn't know what they're talking about would assume Blizzard has a "Creative" department. Sure, it sounds "logical", but you are guessing.

      Yes, they have people who work on creative materials. Many people. They just don't have a "Creative Department".

      Also, for the one millionth time, Activision is NOT "THE OWNING COMPANY OF BLIZZARD". Activision DID NOT "BUY" BLIZZARD. Activision publishing and the Blizzard PUBLISHING label merged -- MERGED. The development house of Blizzard Entertainment is still "Blizzard Entertainment". Again, only people who know Blizzard through internet rumors and nothing more would ever believe that a "memo" about anything game development or Blizzcon related would read "Activision Blizzard" on it. Why do you think the games since the merge carry BOTH the "Blizzard Entertainment" and "Activision Blizzard" logos?
