world of warcraft - Battlegrounds - Support

World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). In World of Warcraft, thousands of players will have the opportunity to adventure together in an enormous, persistent game world, forming friendships, slaying monsters, and engaging in epic quests that can span days or weeks.

Do you plan to continue creating additional content now that the game is released?
Yes. We are completely dedicated to evolving the world with additional content. We have already released eight major content patches that have each added many new quests, items, class updates, and other features to the game. Our plan is to keep an active in-house development team dedicated to providing new content on a regular basis. Our plans include opening new lands, introducing new monsters and items along with incorporating new quests and ultimately evolving the overall story of the World of Warcraft.

Are new features being added to World of Warcraft each month?
The World of Warcraft is envisioned to be a constantly evolving place, so the introduction of new monsters, items, places to visit, and even different types of game play experiences are all in the long-term plans for the game. It would be impossible for us to determine the timing on rolling out these ideas now, but we do intend to keep the game in a state of active change. Thus far, we have been able to release a major content patch every 6-8 weeks.

Are patches being released around the world months apart as has been the case in some other games?
Since World of Warcraft launched, we have strived to release patches simultaneously all around the world. From time to time there may be some delays, but these delays have been minimal.

What is a Game Master (GM) and how does one enhance my gameplay experience?
In World of Warcraft, Game Masters or GMs are members of our customer support department who are responsible for assisting players with questions regarding gameplay and/or technical issues. We understand the importance of customer support and community building, and we continue to make it one of our primary focuses now that World of Warcraft is live.

Is there a guide/volunteer program in World of Warcraft?
No.

Are there special events held in the game for holidays?
Yes! There are special events held for both "real" holidays and special days created in World of Warcraft.

What are you doing to prevent cheating?
The development team is currently doing everything it can to eliminate the possibility of cheating. Because the game requires gamers to have a personal account to play, we are able to identify and track cheaters much more closely. When we have identified cheaters, we have taken aggressive action to suspend or ban their accounts. World of Warcraft has many features specifically designed to detect, identify, and prevent cheating and hacking in the game. We also have a dedicated team that actively monitors and scans the game for the use of cheats and exploits regularly. Creating an environment of fair play that is free of cheating is very important to us and we are constantly investigating ways to make the experience of our customers better and more secure. As we continue to find new methods of combating cheating, we will certainly pursue and implement them.

Since the game has a language filter, can we curse/swear as much as we want?
Even though there is a language filter, excessive, unsolicited, and inappropriate language is not tolerated.

How is Blizzard dealing with the selling of items on Ebay?
The selling of characters or items is not a feature supported in World of Warcraft. Any users that choose to participate in this activity do so at their own risk. Blizzard does not facilitate nor mediate in the sale or trading of characters/items.
