A small part of me on wow-europe.com

Journal entry
November 30, 2006

Considering I am a World of Warcraft player and previously pondered applying for a webmaster position at Blizzard Europe but decided against it due to not feeling like moving to Paris, it’s pretty cool to notice that a small part of me have still made it onto the World of Warcraft website.

Their new World of Warcraft game stats page uses one of my activity indicators to, well, indicate activity.

Blizzards spinning ball is clearly the same as mine, and has most likely been lifted from Napyfabs collection.

Putting stuff into the public domain and seeing it pop up in unexpected places like this is extremely cool and has so far been my favorite thing about putting together the collection of animated GIF progress indicators.

That is so cool! Congratulations - designing something that Blizzard finds good enough to put on their webpage is no small achievement.

I do not wish to work for blizzard, since they have the worst server uptime, shut down their website during maintenance, etc.

I cannot understand why you would like to work for them.

Darc, mainly because they consistently create killer products and have been for years on end.

The two issues you mention aren’t something I’ve noticed, and I doubt it says anything about their work environment.
