Yakov Blizznoff: In WoW Russia, House Auctions You. What A Country!
If you thought that there was nowhere on Earth the monolithic, life-stealing MMO World of Warcraft hadn’t reached, then you were wrong. “Were” being the key word, as now it seems WoW’s world domination is complete with its newest translation: Russian.
The new version of the game, fully translated and localized for Russia, will go on sale on the 6th of August. With dedicated Russian realms and full Russian tech-support, this isn’t just a quick pass of the game through the Babel Fish translator.
Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment, said that “providing a fully localized version of the game will further enhance the gameplay experience for our enthusiastic Russian community”
A full language pack will be available for all current players to allow them access to these new realms with free character transfer provided to the new realms. To get the new pack, head over to www.warcraft.ru once the new version has launched (AUG 6).
