The biggest WoTLK Classic Gold hurdle for the WoW development team, other being physically moving equipment out of the office, has been in figuring out how to preserve the spirit of collaboration in workplaces, Hazzikostas said.

"The most important thing we lost was the majority of spontaneous discussions which are the time for creative brainstorming. The literal hallways conversations--bouncing an idea off someone. You could be a walker and sketching something out on a whiteboard , hoping to get some quick feedback from the person who was sitting working at their desk," Hazzikostas said. "Those aren't tasks you could not necessarily record or schedule on a Slack conference call or other similar way. So it's taken extra effort. However, we believe we have processes that are in the process of being implemented One of them is the creation of general jam areas where people can go and chat and hang out with whoever else is there."

Hazzikostas stated buy WOW WoTLK Classic Gold that Blizzard's teams are working hard to build an environment of connection among developers that creates the same feeling as dropping in front of someone's office to talk the idea.
