    Warcraft in education

    November 8, 2011 by Raylan13

    The idea isn't necessarily new, but a recent article on O'Reilly Radar by Marie Bjerede is one of the better ones that seeks to first understand how games like Warcraft and Minecraft are engaging and attractive, and second how to bring those elements into the classroom.

    As it pertains to Warcraft, Ms. Bjerede leaves almost no area uncovered. Goals = grades, the game = school, and leveling up is the vehicle to success. Early on in her critique she mentions using a type of "unlocking" of new conte…

    It's no doubt that Blizzard loves to take your money. After all, that's why we keep playing World of Warcraft. Blizzard recently announced that users who sign up for the Annual Pass (NA) (EU) will be given a free copy of Diablo III when it releases early next year. The copies of Diablo III will be the complete version of the game and not some rip-off trial version.

    If this wasn't enough swag to get you Wow-boys and Wow-girls excited, Blizzard has also announced more things that they are includin…

Hallow's End is a Halloween-style event that takes place at the mid-end of October.

The day was once used for a festival near the end of harvest for humans of Lordaeron; the Forsaken later bastardized this practice, and now use the evening for their mysterious "Wickerman" rituals.
Hallow's End marks the day the group of undead, who would later be known as the Forsaken, broke free of the Lich King's dominance and once again regained their free will. They celebrate this occasion by setting fire to a wickerman after a short speech from Sylvanas herself and smearing the ashes across their faces.

In the Warcraft book Arthas: Rise of the Lich King it its revealed that Hallow's End was celebrated by the Alliance before the Scourge even came to Lordaeron.

    I will try to keep this blog post up to date and modify it based on commentary.

    Commentary on casuals...

    As much press as hardcore players get around World of Warcraft, the difference in making money or not for Blizzard Entertainment is not the hardcore players. Hardcore players don't represent the m…
