The Most Passionate Fan Base(!)

Hello dear fellows,

I do believe it goes without saying that World of Warcraft players are among the most passionate gamers in the world. So let's make it known! The folks at Guild Launch are taking your votes now for the Dragon Slayer awards, to be presented at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, GA (August 31 - September 2).

Among the categories for distinguished communities in online gaming, the following should be of interest to you:

Top Community Management Team: Blizzard (that's us!)

Community Manager of Year: Jonathan "Zarhym" Brown (that's me!)

Most Passionate Fan Base: World of Warcraft (that's you!)

You can also vote for Diablo III or World of Warcraft for Most Dramatic Change.

This is a community-oriented awards poll, so let's show them this community is still alive, still kickin', and ready as ever for Mists of Pandaria!

Love,
Zarhym & the rest of the Blizzard CM team

Community Manager of Year: Jonathan "Zarhym" Brown (that's me!)

I vote for you, Jonathan!

<3

Yes, feel free to take a break from rummaging our caves, killing yetis, and go vote. We’ll be here when you get back. ;)

Top Community Management Team: Blizzard (that's us!)

Aw, thanks.

Most Passionate Fan Base: World of Warcraft (that's you!)

Goes without saying, except that I'm gonna say it. You guys are literally the best. Thanks for helping to make World of Warcraft amazing.

Poppycock!

I did BEGRUDGINGLY vote for Zarhym, though.

Me too. I mean... I guess he's alright. ;) I wasn't on there, so I had to vote for someone. ;P

Thanks for all the votes everyone who has cast them our way. The support is appreciated.

In this upcoming election for the Dragon Slayer awards:

Vote Blizzard for Top Community Management Team.
Vote Jonathan "Zarhym" Brown for Community Manager of Year.
Most importantly, vote World of Warcraft for most Passionate Fan Base because you are awesome.

I'm Rygarius "Coffee" Bird and I approve of this message.

I'm totally voting for Eyonix.

Miss that little whelpling. I saw him a couple of weeks ago, though, and he seems to be doing fantastic. :)

Sheriff John Brown always hated me.

I played congas for a reggae band for a little while. I never heard the end of it. True story.

This thread could use some Caydiem.

Yup.

You know you've been around a long time when you remember that name.

May her brain ever rest in a vat of MTN DEW.

Zarhym killed me too many times in D3 to even be considered Community Manager of the Year.

I do it 'cause I care. <3

I COULD vote again. But not until you promise to push for new mount achievements in MoP :(

I already did! I brought it up to Cory Stockton the other day and he said he was adding the task to the next possible patch cycle (to come after Mists launch).

The vote is in for you Zarhym, and for Blizzard as a whole! You guys rock, and deserve the recognition as such.

That said, where was Lylirra on that list!?!

Thanks! <3

I have no idea why I was nominated specifically, by the way. ^.^ I couldn't handle what I do without the amazing people who sit around me and offer me guidance everyday. We're a true team with a strong support structure to keep each other grounded.

Oh look, flowers, /wanders off

All of the reworking of the avatars is making me scared to post here.

Or maybe it's *why* I'm posting here...

Bornakk where have you been?

He escaped from his box again. It's OK. We've got the CM handlers taking care of it. Sorry about that folks. The danger has passed... ;)

(BTW... my wax looked too drippy in those images. I may be getting older, but I am not saggy YET.)

Now...wheres that dog Crithto?

He must come here.

What's this? I'm here, though I'll admit I probably shouldn't be. <.<
