- BLIZZARD
- Your voting for Publisher of The Year should be finalized within the week. I've already
- discussed the matter with the players.
- ACTIVISION
- I take it they were agreeable?
- BLIZZARD
- They didn't really have a choice.
- ACTIVISION
- Are they using RealID?
- BLIZZARD
- Oh yes, most certainly. When I mentioned that they could add their friends and contant them, they were so willing it was almost pathetic.
- ACTIVISION
- This RealID -- the rioting is intensifying to the point where we may not be able
- to contain it.
- BLIZZARD
- Why contain it? Let it spill over into the forums and blogs, let the trolls
- pile up in the corner. In the end, they'll beg us to let them play.
- ACTIVISION
- I've received reports of troll attacks on forums. There's not enough moderators
- to go around, and the players are starting to get desperate.
- BLIZZARD
- Of course they're desperate. They can smell their ban, and the sound they'll
- make rattling their cage will serve as a warning to the rest.
- ACTIVISION
- Mmm. I hope you're not underestimating the problem. The others may not go as
- quietly as you think -- intelligence indicates they're behind the problems in
- Battlenet Offtopic.
- BLIZZARD
- A bunch of old men playing at running the game. But the game left
- them behind long ago. RealID is the future.
- ACTIVISION
- We have other problems.
- BLIZZARD
- Respawn Entertainment?
- ACTIVISION
- Formed by our employees after the strike on Infinity Ward. I have
- someone in place, though. I'm more concerned about Arena.Net -- they relocated to
- Bellevue.
- BLIZZARD
- Our MMORPG is far in advance of theirs, as is our playerbase.
- And their... ethical inflexibility has allowed us to make progress in areas they
- refuse to consider.
- ACTIVISION
- Subscription fees?
- BLIZZARD
- Among other things -- but I must admit that I have been somewhat disappointed in
- the performance of the primary MMO.
- ACTIVISION
- The secondary MMO should be online soon. It's currently undergoing preparation
- and will be operational within six months. My people will continue to report on
- its progress. If necessary, the primary will be terminated.
- BLIZZARD
- We've had to endure much, you and I, but soon there will be money again, a new
- age. Aquinas spoke of the mythical MMO on the Hill. Soon that MMO will be a
- reality, and we will be crowned its gamemasters. Or better than gamemasters. Gods.
