Official description

Dev Watercooler is a blog series that provides an inside look into the thoughts and discussions happening within the World of Warcraft development team. In our first entry, Lead Systems Designer Greg "Ghostcrawler" Street laid down a few ground rules:

1. No promises.
2. Don't read too much between the lines.
3. No whining about the choice of topics we cover.
