CITIZENS OF AZEROTH,
It is with great joy that I announce CHRIS METZEN has joined the Warcraft
Leadership Team as Creative Advisor. Chris's focus initially will be on World of
Warcraft, then his work will expand to other projects across this growing
franchise.
Chris was one of the original team members working on the Warcraft universe back
when it began in 1994, and we are so happy to be reuniting him with the world he
helped create.
