But the catch in the plotline is that the orcs are not inherently evil in “Warcraft” not unlike in the other movies. They are actually another race of intelligent creatures trying to survive the death of the their world, even if it means taking over someone else’s, which is actually shades of the plotlines of “Superman” with Kryptonians trying to establish Krypton on earth, or “Transformers” with the robots working to revive Cybertron on earth.
Incidentally, Blizzard Entertainment held a company event in Irvine, California recently. Tom Chilton, game director, and Chris Robinson, senior art director, also spoke about Nostalrius and the idea of legacy servers during the event.
Chilton confirmed that while it looks very challenging, they love the idea. He disclosed that they have met with the Nostalrius server guys recently and they were even given the chance to play the game on the server. He said that it was kind of moving experience to re-experience playing the classic “WoW.”.
When asked if Blizzard is still using the same development tools that they have used in the development of the classic “World of Warcraft,” Robinson said that it is basically the same but the tools have evolved dramatically because of technology.
