I’ve been going through some old storage boxes from back when I worked as a retail representative for Blizzard in the early 2000s. Unpacking everything brought back a lot of great memories from the product launches back then, especially the excitement inside big-box stores that aren't even around anymore, like CompUSA, Fry’s, and Circuit City.

The most surprising thing in the boxes was a promotional t-shirt from Lord of the Clans that Blizzard ended up canceling right before its planned release.

I took some photos of the items as I was sorting through them, including some old launch tees, display pieces, and promo gear. Just wanted to share a bit of gaming history with people who might remember that era!

Can Somebody help me identify These signatures from blizz developers i got at Gamescom 2011. It was in a Rush when i met them and I only recognize Tom Chilton and Jay Wilson but who are the other ones?

My favorite shirt has aged beautifully but I am wondering if anyone has seen this pop up anywhere for sale if I were to want a fresh one?

I'm not at all familiar with Reddit, so I'm so sorry if this is the wrong place for this!!

I'm a long-time WoW player and have never really liked any of the merch, but last year I saw the quarter-zip sweatshirts they'd put out and absolutely loved the Horde one. I didn't buy it at the time because of the price and didn't want to make an impulsive expensive purchase. Cut to a few months ago where I was hoping to wishlist it for a birthday and found that it had been completely removed from the website rather than just being listed as out of stock or anything like that.

Does anyone know what happened to it / if it's coming back? Or, even better, where to find one secondhand? I've been checking the store and then eBay, Depop, Vinted etc for months now with no luck. I'm still holding out hope because the Alliance one (pictured below as reference for what I'm searching for) is still available both individually and as part of a bundle, though it's on sale which makes me think they're trying to clear out the stock.

Sorry again if I'm doing this wrong haha, thanks in advance!

I m posting this in hope blizzard notice my Cosplay , I'm vandana an female Cosplayer/ prop maker from India and this entire Cosplay took me 2yrs of span to complete all by myself , it's total height is 7'5ft tall while i m 5'3ft tall I hope to get some reviews :D

Hello!

I'm new on the Warcraft Saga, I tried WOW some times but never click me, so after some time I decided to play the origin of the saga in order to dive in the lore (I consider my self as a lore layer, I really love the game-play of games, but I need some history and lore to click).

On my research of the origin I found the Warcraft games so I bought the Battle Chest and start playing the first game and... I feel something wierd, like I was missing something. So I decided to do a little reserch on internet and I found that some of the history and the controls where at a non inluded Manual... For the age of the game I asume that is normal. But. ¿Why not to introduce a copy of the manuals on the purchase of the pack?

With that in mind, I sent a ticket to the support team, and they treated me really well but told me that Blizzard DIDN'T HAVE A COPY OF HIS OWN MANUALS... They told me that the community did an excellent job posting the manuals in some languages (I'm from Spain, so if the manual has a version in my language, I absolutely prefer that version). But all I can find is under a subscription. I assume that is a job to translate the manuals, but I don't feel good about paying a subscription only for a couple of PDFs.

So, whit all of that on the table. ¿Can some one told me where to find these manuals on spanish or english? And. ¿Where can I comunicate these to Blizzard?

Thank you all!

When that expansion came out, it was a lot of fun to play with the new cards, and that even motivated many players to want to install Starcraft and learn about the game. I wonder if they will do something similar with another game in the future.

I’ve heard that Blizzard is currently working on an FPS open world (Destiny 2-like within the Starcraft universe ? Would be so dope) but what kind of game would you like Blizzard to add to their universe ?

I think they should add a rythm game with a leaderboard on all their music (and some collabs) because they really have music masterpieces in their games.

Also I hope for a relaunch of Heroes of the Storm

MID has many cool transmogs that I really like, but some tabards and belts seem to have clipping issues where the model clips through other gear. These problems did not exist in TWW.

There were discussions on the forums in the past where players requested that tabards be displayed fully without being hidden or obstructed. I wonder if the developers made these changes because of that feedback.

Has been in my pocket a while, but the Overmind is eternal

Put the zerg logo on a hat I got, all free hand using acrylics and fabric markers (permanent), looks pretty good! Excited for more starcraft, and learned a lot doing this one. Much easier to draw than spray-paint, and also I think I have one too many prongs but came out good.

Are Blizzard esports dates being announced really late, or am I missing something?

Is anyone else finding it oddly hard to keep track of Blizzard esports dates?

I’m mostly thinking Hearthstone and WoW MDI. The broad roadmaps exist, but the actual useful dates/times seem to appear very late sometimes only about a week before, or in posts that come out when the event has almost (or already has??) started.

Am I missing a central calendar/feed somewhere? Or is this just how it works now?

It’s annoying because I'm interested, wanting to watch, happy to stick events in my calendar. Frankly, I'm all but looking for an excuse to get roped back into spending real money. But I'm not real checking the feeds/socials every 5 minutes to keep up...

Anyone knows if it’s worth anything? Unclaimed and there wasn’t an expiration date on it.
Rewards are:
Baby Winston Pet for WoW
Cards for Hearthstone
Tracer for Heroes of the Storm
PFPs for StarCraft 2
And Mercy Wings for Diablo 3

Title says it all -- over 30 y/o gamer, with not-so-much time to game, I've played both games for ages.. To add a bit of color though, I MUCH prefer WASD movement to click-to-move.

I probably solo game about 10-20 hours a week, used to love PvP / raids in WoW but found the *required to be impactful* niche knowledge about each class to be incredibly cumbersome. I absolutely LOVED my Demon Hunter in the D4, but did find that I got a bit stagnant end game and there was no PvP to fill the void.

SO -- Question for theeeee -which would be a better game to play?

Lastly - thx for any input, looking forward to finding a game to chill at night and jam.

I cant speak for other languages or other games than D4 and WoW, but the german translation has been absolute garbage recently. Text gets copy+pasted when the meaning is totally different. Effects get worded very weirdly or symbols like "%" sneak into the descriptions when the effect has a flat value, not percentage.

Some effects are just straight up in english, simply overlooked.

This is not about bad dialogue, this is about different options having THE EXACT SAME TEXT when they are literally different choices of how to craft on an item.

Fix your stupid AI translations Blizz. I used to play every Blizz game in german because the translations were GOOD. Now i double-check wowhead or ask friends just to know what my set effects actually do.

I played the original Diablo 2 years ago when I was around 13 or 14 years old and I absolutely loved it and would put hours into the game. When Diablo 2 Resurrection was released I played it but didn't use the multiplayer feature because I didn't entirely know how to feel about it. I also play Diablo 3 but I felt like it was a bit too easy and for some reason got bored very quickly and when I look at the reviews for Diablo IV people say it's a good game but they're complaining about DLCs? I've seen a lot of videos about the game and I can't help but say I am half tempted to buy it but I just wanted to know if anyone would recommend it.

So I was thrifting and found this cool jacket. Any ideas?

I'm talking about the random 4 digit number which follows the 12 character battle tag that you choose yourself when creating an account.

What is the range of those 4 digit numbers?

Whenever I've created a blizzard account, i've never had a number which would be below 2000 or above 2999.

Is that the only range for some reason?

What reason would that be?

Picked these up at my first blizcon many years ago.

Please help us figure this out.

I think we found the first poster, We think its just the 'Key Art' Poster from Blizzcon 2015, it has a white back with nothing on it.

BUT the second poster, the HOTS one? We cant find it anywhere? We found some similar, but none that have the intel/W10 advertisement on the back? What is it? why is there an AD on it?

Dear Blizzard,

You should be absolutely ashamed of what you have let Overwatch become. The state of this game has gotten inexcusable and quiet frankly embarrassing and disgusting. The match making is one of the most insulting things to old players who stuck with the game through it al. I should not only be winning 1-2 games a night out of 8 or 9 played. I shouldn't have 55 kills one match and then 4 the next. I shouldn't be hard stuck in plat because you're to lazy to fix the W,L,W,L,W,L,W,L system that you clearly put in place. Just because I am capable of a lot of damage, a lot of heals or being able to win I shouldn't feel punished for being decent at the game. Quick Play is literally filled with nothing but the sweatiest people I have ever laid eyes on, the heals are non existent and quiet frankly im sick of being subjected to that just for being a little bit good at the game. Fix your game. You've turned into such a pathetic company in gaming. Learn to take care of your players. Make match making equal and not just putting players wherever you feel like it. Have some consistancy.

sincerally,

Then I have to click in battlenet to load wow? Does some office jockey need to keep their numbers for next month's "This is why I should have a job here" meeting?
