Guys we are very sorry. Due to some technical problems we were unable to live stream the show coverage. We are now publishing the whole stuff so you can be sure that you did’n miss anything important.

The first article will be about the new Battle.net chat system. Blizzards are integrating the all chats across all realms and all new games. Here what they say:

Blizzard: We want to make it easy for you to find and chat with your friends, we feel that’s something we can improve on and we want you to stay connected with your friends. Online, offline and again across games.



Blizzard: This is an example of what it looks like within you’re in the blue screens within the UI, and the chats work differently than the past. We decided to switch the chat system to more instant messenger style chat so it’s easier for you to organize and have conversations with one person or multiple people.

If you think it’s like World of Warcraft, it can be kind of challenging to hold different conversations, like I’ll use a wild example, more relevant to the crowd but if you’re hanging out in Stormwind and you have all of the different public chat channels up and also trying to keep three different whisperers together and talk to your party and it’s hard to do that, going up and down to figure out what’s going on so we felt if we go to more of an IM style chat and allow you to organize your conversations however you want to do them.

We also want to say thanks to all who reported bugs and glitches. Guys we really value your support!

P.S. We have reports from people about reaching 39th level. So post your achievements and comments to help us with the balance.
