Мир Warcraft Идет В Россию! (WoW Goes To Russia!)
Today, Blizzard announced that they are assembling a team to bring a native language version of World of Warcraft to Mother Russia! WoW has already spread to major parts of Asia and Europe, it was only a matter o f time before Russia got its turn. Yes, this isn't major news for us, but for our Russian readers (are there any?), this could be a good thing. ...or a bad thing depending on how you look at or are easily addicted to games. That's about it for this story. If you feel like translating WoW into Russian, you might want to hit Blizzard up for a job. Details after the jump.
Blizzard Entertainment® Announces Russian-Language Version of World of Warcraft®
PARIS, France – Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced that World of Warcraft®, its award-winning, subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game, is to be fully localised in Russian for release in 2008. The Russian version will be the fifth officially supported European language, complementing the existing English, French, German and Spanish versions.
A dedicated Russian-speaking team is currently being assembled at the Blizzard Europe offices in France and Ireland to ensure Russian World of Warcraft players will benefit from the same quality of 24/7 native-language support as other European players. Roles will include in-game support, offline technical and customer support, localisation and quality assurance, community relations, and creation and maintenance of a new official Russian World of Warcraft website.
“Considering the scale and enthusiasm of the Russian community, we recognized that offering a dedicated Russian-language version of World of Warcraft was the next important step for the game in Europe,” said Mike Morhaime, president and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We’re looking forward to providing an even more accessible gameplay experience to current and future players.”
