我有一个重要的消息要告诉你们,我相信你们会很高兴听到。这个周六,9月22日,Mark Kern将和我,Esfand一起参加经典讨论会。 对于那些不确定Mark Kern是谁的人来说,他是香草版本魔兽世界开发过程中的团队领导。从这个角度来说,Mark Kern是《魔兽世界》游戏的第2个人(设计师),仅次于暴雪公司的首席执行官Mike Morhaime.
在备受喜爱的粉丝N服于2016年关闭后,由怀旧员工起草并发布一份出名的的请愿书,呼吁创建官方怀旧服务器。除了自己的热情之外,没有任何义务,Mike Kern亲自签署了这份请愿书,并在上面对暴雪的首席执行官Mike Morhaime发表了强有力的评论。他还承诺,如果请愿书得到20万人的签名,他将亲自打印并将请愿书交给暴雪自己。不用说,请愿书达到人们的预期期望,Mike Kern履行了他的承诺,将25万多个签名的请愿书亲手交给了暴雪。此外,Mike Kern还会见了Mike Morhaime和暴雪的其他高级员工,为官方怀旧进行推进,剩下的正如他们所说,就是过去。
要想实时收看这一重大事件,请收听twitch.tv/esfandtv。太平洋时间周六下午4:30(东部时间7:30,英国时间12:30,欧洲时间1:30)。相信我,你不想错过这个。这将是史上最大的怀旧讨论节目。
Mark Kern, Vanilla Team Lead, on CC this Sat!
I have a huge announcement for you guys that I'm sure you’ll be excited to hear. This Saturday, September 22nd, Mark Kern will be joining myself, Esfand, and Staysafe on the Classicast. For those who aren’t sure who Mark Kern is, he was the Team Lead for Vanilla WoW during its development. To put that position into context, Kern was the 2nd person credited on the original World of Warcraft game behind only the CEO of Blizzard, Mike Morhaime.
After the beloved fan server Nostalrius was shut down in 2016, a famous petition was drawn and distributed by the Nostalrius staff that called for the creation of official Legacy servers. Under no obligation but his own passion, Kern signed the petition himself and left on it a powerful comment addressing Mike Morhaime, the CEO of Blizzard. He also promised that if the petition reached 200,000 signatures, he would personally print-out and deliver the petition to Blizzard himself. Needless to say, the petition shattered expectations, and Mark Kern fulfilled his promise to hand-deliver each of the 250+ thousand signatures to Blizzard. Additionally, Kern met with Mike Morhaime and other top Blizzard staff to advocate for official legacy realm. The rest, as they say, is history.
We are very pleased to announce that this Saturday, at 4:30 P.M. Pacific Time, Mark Kern will be joining us on the Classicast to discuss Vanilla’s development, Classic WoW, and to answer YOUR questions.
And to take it one step further, John Staats, the first 3D level designer for Vanilla World of Warcraft will also be joining us once again to continue our discussion from last week.
To catch this huge event live, tune in to twitch.tv/esfandtv on Saturday, 4:30 P.M. Pacific Time, (that’s 7:30 P.M. Eastern time, 12:30 A.M. British time, and 1:30 A.M. European time). Believe me, you do not want to miss this one. It is going to be the biggest Classicast ever.
