Fast Technology news on July 17, the national server of 7 Blizzard games including World of Warcraft has been suspended for 175 days, and it will be half a year soon. When to return has become a heart problem for many players. Blizzard has not expressed anything recently. The president finally responded in the live broadcast a few days ago.
Mike Ybarra, president of Blizzard, answered questions from netizens in a live broadcast last weekend. Someone asked if it was possible to reopen the domestic server this year. He responded that he wanted to return to China as soon as possible, and let everyone believe him that Blizzard is doing everything possible to reopen the national server.
However, this statement is still a matter of business, without mentioning a specific time point. Netizens are looking forward to returning within the year. Mike Ybarra's answer avoids the time point. Generally speaking, it is a comforting answer. Whether games such as
Warcraft can return depends on a lot of problems such as domestic agency negotiations and re-approval, which cannot be resolved in a short time.
However, after Microsoft won the lawsuit and the acquisition of Activision Blizzard was almost certain, there were indeed some news in the past few days that made the players of the national server very excited. The domestic agent matter said that there was a result, and it is very likely that NetEase will be the agent again. After all, their relationship with Microsoft is very good. "Minecraft" is the agent of NetEase. Before
, Netease and Blizzard broke up. Maybe the core dispute was not on Blizzard's side. Many people pointed to the board director Blizzard CEO Cordick, thinking that his attitude caused the relationship between the two parties to change.
As for Mike Ybarra, he is also an executive from Microsoft, and he is also a senior game player, with a good reputation.
