...But they're willing to pay, if you're lucky. Today they've announced a new contest that we think is worth checking out.
Grow up on Starcraft? Counting down the minutes to the release of Diablo III, having worn your Diablo II disc down to a mere sheet of plastic? Do you treasure your World of Warcraft subscription above all else (including food and rent)? Well, this little bit of news might just interest you.
As part of Blizzard’s ongoing 20th anniversary extravaganza – catch the mas...
A genuinely funny play session, on how not to rush into someone's base and block him off ;)
Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. and NetEase.com, Inc. announced today that open beta testing for StarCraft® II in mainland China will begin on March 29, 2011. During the open beta test, players will be able to access the multiplayer modes of StarCraft II for free.

Following the end of the op...
Think back. Way back. Way, way back. To 2009. An eternity in video game time. 2009's BlizzCon was pretty eventful, featuring the reveal of "World of WarCraft: Cataclysm" and the Monk class for "Diablo 3." Blizzard also took the opportunity to show of the next version of Battle.net, the one that would ship with "StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty." While many of the features that were discussed ended up making it into the final release, some have not. For example, Blizzard mentioned that they were ...
“The leak took place on November 29, and shortly thereafter, Blizzard China’s general manager, Ye Weilun, was said to have been fired, or at least to have resigned. However, the Marbridge Daily reported that some Blizzard sources have suggested that Weilun’s departure was long in the works and was unrelated to any data leak.”

There’s this guy who says that Blizzard’s next massively multiplayer game is “a total ball to play”. He says the game, code-named Titan, is “the type of game that will have a very long life, much like World of Warcraft has”.
This guy is biased. He’s Paul Sams and he works at Blizzard. He’s the chief operating officer of the makers of World of Warcraft. Should we trust this man?
His quotes come from a recent interview with trade site Gamasutra, in which he describes Titan as “the most am...
20 years after founding one of the biggest names in gaming, Blizzard’s co-founders have put together a video in order to thank their fans for making them who they are.
It’s incredible to look back and see how far the gaming industry has come in just the past few years. Looking back, it’s amazing to see just how far some companies have come.
It’s a wonder to think that the gaming Goliath that has come to be known as Blizzard was, 20 years ago, just another small company created by two men ...
Your Battle.net account is slowly becoming the commodity that represents you as a Blizzard gamer. Slowly but surely, your Battle.net identity is going to morph more and more into a social profile. World of Warcraft's armory website was the prototype. The new WoW community site takes things one step further. Over time, Battle.net could look like a Blizzard Facebook, as you friend people on the site, communicate in and out of game via a unified mailbox, and share screenshots and information wit...
Heart of the Swarm delivers the zerg campaign – the second of three campaigns that make up the entire SCII experience. The first, Wings of Liberty, released in July to critical and commercial acclaim.
"We're working on it as hard as we can. We're really trying to push on this and get it out as soon as we can.
"I don't think you'll be playing it this year. That seems very unlikely to me. But we're pounding away on it as fast as we possibly can."

Twenty years is an eternity in the games industry. Few studios last anywhere near that long before either being consumed within a publishing company, or closing down entirely. Formed this week in February 1991, Blizzard Entertainment (then known as Silicon & Synapse), has not only survived, it has become one of the most powerful names in the industry, its name forged with Activision's to form the industry's largest publisher.
The compay's big brands – Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo and World ...
Twenty-five-year-old StarCraft II player Kim Won Gi took the South Korean gaming world by storm last year. Some might know him by his pro-gaming handle “Cool”, but to many, he’s “FruitDealer”, the best StarCraft II player there is.
Kim earned the “FruitDealer” moniker because he helps his mother run a food stall in his native South Korea. “I prefer to keep the details private, but my mother started her fruit stall recently,” Kim tells Kotaku, “and it’s been about two years since I started ...

According to Blizzard, two new games will be released in 2012 if nothing gets released in 2011. So basically we have a "It'll be released when it's done" here.
During an investors conference call today, Blizzard president Mike Morhaime revealed the news that we won't be seeing any of the company's games this year. It's also hesitant to announce any release date for Diablo III because it doesn't want to rush the game and risk its quality.
Besides Diablo III, Blizzard c...
Blizzard Entertainment’s sixth BlizzCon gaming celebration to be held at Anaheim Convention Center October 21-22, 2011
PARIS, France -- February 7, 2011 -- Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced plans for its sixth BlizzCon® gaming convention, to be held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California on Friday, October 21 and Saturday, October 22, 2011. BlizzCon is a celebration of the global player communities surrounding Blizzard Entertainment’s Warcraft®, StarCraft®, and ...
Blizzard have made three new custom games available to beta test on Battle.net. The modes are still under development, but Blizzard are keen to get some feedback from the community. More details follow.
The first of the three new games is Aiur Chef, a free-for-all for up to 8 players. The game mode has quite the sense of humour about it, revolving around cooking. Players will have to scout out the map searching for ingredients, before returning to the kitchen in the centre of the map to pu...
Blizzard Entertainment has clarified that it never intended to hinder the development of a 'World of StarCraft' MMO mod for StarCraft II developed by Ryan Winzen.
"It was never our intention to stop development on the mod or discourage the community from expressing their creativity through the StarCraft II editor," Blizzard said in a statement. " As always, we actively encourage development of custom maps and mods for StarCraft II, as we’ve done with our strategy games in the past."
Bli...

We had an unexpected outage last night (and for some reason I missed the notification). Our apologies for the extended downtime.
After a long weekend of digging through the maps, and consideration of the community's feedback we've chosen the winners for the melee map making contest. There were over 100 entries, and we had to narrow it down to only 5.
Grand Prize Winner
First off, our grand prize winner, for an NVIDIA GTX 460 graphics card:
Dunes of Despair
This was an amazing map to play, and the quality is almost as much as I could expect out of any competitive map. It's very pleasant to look at, and w...
The contest is now closed for submissions and we have opened up the entries for reviews. Remember, 50% of the final score is based on what you think of the map. So head on over and check out the 100+ entries and let the authors know what you think!
Unsure how to review a map? Most of the maps that have been submitted you aren't going to be able to find online. Sadly, this means you can't test them out in a real environment. You'll only be able to test them out solo (sandbox) or against a c...
Part 1: Basics
Doodads:
1. Doodads that cover the ground like a texture, such as tarmac and decals, can be made more transparent by lowering their height. To do so, double click the doodad and set the height to for example -3.0. The lower it is, the more it fades out. This is useful whenever you want your doodad to draw less attention and blend in with the ground textures.
2. I struggled a lot with cliff doodads before I realized that the method of lowering their height is probably wha...
