I'd like to respond to some of your feedback here.Īs president of Blizzard, I take full responsibility for everything that occurs at BlizzCon. I have read your feedback and comments about this year's BlizzCon, and I have also read the feedback to the apology from Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftain. Mike MorhaimeDear members of the Blizzard community, Though not out of character for a band which has been subject to obscenity controversy since it's inception, he was honored with an NPC reference in 2008's Wrath of the Lich King, likely due to several senior developers of the time being noted fans of heavy metal genre music.įisher's BlizzCon 2011 appearance was the subject of controversy, after introducing the musician with a censored clip of the same hateful tirade.ĭuring BlizzCon 2011, he was invited on stage alongside the real-life Elite Tauren Chieftain band made up of Blizzard employees Samwise Didier, Chris Sigaty, Dave Berggren, Alan Dabiri, and Mike Morhaime, and while the guest appearance drew criticism over introducing the musician with a censored clip from the same interview, prompting an apology from the band as well as a follow-on apology from then CEO Mike Morhaime, the NPC reference remained.

Named for the lead vocalist of the death metal band Cannibal Corpse, George 'Corpsegrinder' Fisher became infamous for his profanity laced tirade against Alliance players in a 2007 interview, epitomizing the faction divide between the Alliance and Horde in a bombastic and insensitive way. Gorge the Corpsegrinder is now Annihilator Grek'lor.

Another small round of changes in this week's Patch 9.1.5 PTR build rename a Wrath of the Lich King reference to George 'Corpsegrinder' Fisher and adjust the quest dialogue of Town Dwellers Were Made to be Saved and The Day that Deathwing Came: What Really Happened, continuing Blizzard's intent to update areas of the game considered to be outdated and inconsistent with their values.

The very best wow quest
