The World of Warcraft Diary - Book Review

The World of Warcraft Diary offers a rare, unfiltered look inside the gaming industry. It was written by the game's first level designer, John Staats, from notes he took during WoW's creation. The WoW Diary explains why developers do things and debunks popular myths about the games industry. In great detail he covers the what it took to finish the project; the surprises, the arguments, the mistakes, and Blizzard's formula for success. The author includes anecdotes about the industry, the company, the dev team; how they worked together, and the philosophy behind their decisions.

Great read and a great concise review. It's a shame we don't have more of these personal diaries from culturally significant media, it does give a deeper appreciation of the experience had.

Thanks. One aspect I forgot to interweave throughout the review was my background in game art, which may have added a certain depth! But yes, I think The WoW Diary has something for everyone, just like the game itself.
