Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra has reacted to World of Warcraft’s recent string of issues, saying the long-running MMO needs a “reset.” He also commented that the “reset” he advocated for when running Blizzard included a whole new game called World of Warcraft 2.
Posting on social media, Ybarra said the recent WoW bugs are “unfortunate,” going on to say, “WoW has to reset and the commitment has to be clear and firm or it will continue to decline.”
Asked to list specific things Ybarra advocated for while he was running Blizzard to help improve WoW, he said there were multiple priorities he was going after. He said WoW should be a game about war, and it should make players feel and experience things like conflict, struggle, risk, reward, and achievement. “This is what WoW is all about,” he said.
Ybarra went on to say he wanted WoW to have an expansion that would hammer home to players that “there is always a Lich King” and take the story “much further.” He said there was “so much more” story to be told.
Additionally, Ybarra said he advocated for Blizzard’s developers spending more time working on raids and new game
