Inside Blizzard’s realm

July 2nd, 2009

Ow man, I just throw eye on my stuff at deviantart gallery and there are just girls, girls and even more girls… Fully clothed, half dressed, nude, in bikini… for someone it may looks totally silly and boring.

Anyway did you ever thought about getting into the Blizzard Entertainment? Joystic team has sneaked through Blizzard’s campus in Irvine, CA and shoot tons of photos! I’ve seen few reports after Blizzard moved to the new campus but Joystic did quite a coverage.

The first thing you’ll see outside is a massive Orc Wolfrider 12-foot-tall statue done by the fabulous guys at WETA Workshop, New Zealand. Around the statue is an eight point compass, which highlights the company’s development mantras:

  • Learn and Grow
  • Gameplay First
  • Lead Responsibly
  • Play Nice, Play Fair
  • Think Globally
  • Every Voice Matters
  • Commit To Quality
  • Embrace Your Inner Geek

There is also a nice volleyball court to play around and lots of greenery. But the real magic is goin’ inside the buildings. The things that impress me the most are the library (lots of stuff!) and WoW server monitors. The last one looks just like network operational center with realtime world map displaying night and day cycle and worldwide servers status.

But I won’t spoil all the details here, just go and read and reveal the Blizzard’s realm for yourself!

Oh and here is a gang of Blizzard artists (Bernie Kang, Brian Huang, Chris Thunig, Steve Hui and Mathias Verhasselt) has launched their blogspot called draftmonkeys.
