Regrettably, I must report that at Blizzard, printers have boring but functional names. And even though the campus is laid out with three buildings positioned similarly to the current WoW map, they're merely Buildings 1, 2, and 3. At least the meeting rooms all have lore names, however.
- electromagnetic 16y agoThat's actually depressingly boring for one of the worlds most recognizable games companies. It makes me feel like throwing out my lucky charms and eat cheerios for breakfast. (FYI I'm in my 20's, but shitty North America doesn't have good breakfast cereals like the UK)
- alanfalcon 16y agoEh, if it makes you feel any better, [many of] the servers themselves have wonderful names. Plus, you have to love going to a three o'clock meeting in the Spawning Pool.
