World of Warcraft Parents Guide

The World of Warcraft is vast and complicated. And it’s constantly changing. Strategies and tactics that worked well for this patch may not work at all for the next patch. It’s almost impossible for a kid to keep up with all the WoW news, trivia, and rumors let alone a parent. That’s where WoWBlues comes in.

Blizzard employees are constantly talking to players through posts on the World of Warcraft forums. There literally dozens of hints and tips posted every day in response to player questions. WoWBlues aggregates the Blizzard employee posts into a single well organized web site. You can search for specific information or browse by category.

WowBlues takes it name from the term “blue posts”. Blizzard employees posts are printed in bright blue on the forums to make it clear the information comes from an official Blizzard representative. In WoW blue doesn’t mean sad, it means true.

Several of the blue posters have become WoW celebrities and every word they type is analyzed for cryptic messages in the same way that financial analysts pondered Alan Greenspan’s comments before the mortgage crisis.

My favorite blue poster is Ghost Crawler, a lead game designer at Blizzard. We may never know his true name but with WoWBlues we can track his every word!
