Former World of Warcraft Community Manager Micah “Bashiok” Whipple announced he was leaving 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, which happens to have a studio 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.
Alright, let's go buddy. #FirstDay pic.twitter.com/UdQqPhnO0l
