			Bashiok, Bashiok ... wasn't that the guy with the brilliant defense of the real-ID system they wanted to implement in the forums?	
----
			I'm jumping for joy, i thought I lost him. you will always be my Fel tree	
----
			I have NO idea who this guy is, but guess we'll find out pretty soon if he's involved in the community. :)	
----
			He has been around in WoW for a very long time. Much of what he did was by no means bad. Can't really see any problems with him being brought onboard even if he did make one or two bad decisions. Everyone makes mistakes. Important part is that the good outweighs the bad if you ask me.

			Very Very excited about this news!! :D

This is epic levels of awesome news.  Bash had some of the greatest player interaction of any of the CMs over there.  I love the CMs for Wildstar, the interaction is fantastic and Bash will be an amazing addition to the team!
 
Welcome to Nexus Cupcake!  (Bashiok)

			Well, maybe he'll attract some more WoW devs to Carbine, lol.	
----
			Oh yeah, that's awesome! I hope he calls himself Boshiak or something.

			This is surprising news, but cool news. He has had some doozies, but in general has been a great CM for over a decade. I'd like to hear some honest reasons why he joined, especially if it's game related and not just professional stuff. I'd like to know if he has been playing this game and what he thinks about the IP in some real talk.

If it's all true.....first plus we have had since frost left
 
Former World of Warcraft Community Manager Micah “Bashiok” Whipple announced he wasleaving Blizzard last week to take up a new job this week, leading to speculation that his next job must be close to the Blizzard studio in Irvine, California. And unless he’s trolling Twitter, it seems he’s making the move to NCsoft — Carbine Studios and WildStar, to be exact, which happens to be in Irvine too.
His tweet teases a photograph of a WildStar rowsdower plush on his dashboard during his morning commute and implies he and his new buddy are on the way to his new job.

Nice a peep from the world of D3, I thought the name was familiar, "When Diablo 3 was announced in 2008 he moved to the Diablo 3 team, working as the sole community manager for that game for several years, and remaining on the Diablo 3 team after others joined, through 2012. In early 2013 he moved back to working on World of Warcraft"
 
As someone whom was on the forums every dayz for D3 and watched how the community was managed, A+... LET the loving begin.

			Bashiok will be great, if his past performance is any indication. Definitely looking forward to seeing what he brings to the table.

			I would like to welcome Bashiok and hope he would be as good dev as he was in blizzard. Any ideas what games is he gonna work on?

Sapient please... you know in Evergrove there were plenty of sentient tr... erm a sentient tree that a certain soul can find his home... IF ONLY SOME PEOPLE DIDN'T DESTROY VALUABLE EXPERIMENTS...  However I'm sure the Aurin can find a solution.
