Changes: Blue post

Revision as of 18:12, 18 January 2020

Blue post is the common term used for a post made by a Blizzard employee on Blizzard's official World of Warcraft forums (US, EU).

Unlike other forum users, all their text appears in blue; hence "blue post".

External resources

Many websites track and archive blue posts:

Official US Forums
Official EU Forums
MMO Champion (see MMO-Champion)
Wowhead (see Wowhead)
BlueTacker (see BlueTracker) - Contains older information from 2009 and earlier

Appearance on Wowpedia

Within Wowpedia, links to blue posts may be identified with the image and quotations will appear like the sample below:
