From the gamer's into leading designer of Blizzard

A small story about one player who became a famous game designer, because he was meticulous mathematician.

Once again we would like to dispel a myth of the unserious nature of the gaming industry and about players as persons which are trapped in childhood and are unable to live normal adult life. Games can induce players to conduct serious researches and meticulous analysis of multifactorial processes. Do you still think gaming experience cannot be useful anywhere else?

Ion Hazzikostas is an avid player of World of Warcraft and a lawyer in the real world. First he was just an ordinary player, later with experience he achieved fame (his nick is 'Gurgthock'). He created the guild Elitist Jerks, it is one of the top 25 best guilds in the world. Later he became theorycraft – a person seriously explores the WoW world and game mechanics and checks game parameters and balance etc.

Ion achieve become famous in 2006, when he was able to prove mathematically that the C'Thun character (from raid dungeons Temple of Ahn'Qiraj) can not be killed. His own calculations showed that the requirements for DPS (damage per second), which would at the same time protect the team from fail and cause substantial damage to the boss in conjunction with restrictions on mana made it impossible to pass this dungeon. Blizzard recognized a bug and created NPC goblin with nickname of the gamer Gurgthock as a gift to Ion.

Knowledge and desire to grow in every area and a little luck and your hobby can become your dream job. The main idea – you should try to do any job best you can. And, of course, do not forget that MMO games are built around the communication between the players, and what could be more accustomed than a voice communication? MyTeamVoice will give you all benefits of voice communication for your clan and achieve its goals.

Computer games can improve logic

As you know those who knows how to think logically is far more freely can operate with received new information, in addition a logical thinking accelerates the learning process. A logic is not just a gift of nature, it should be developed and trained as a memory or an imagination.

It is well known to develop a logic it is useful to solve various tasks requiring mental strain, a chess games is a good example, but few people have heard that computer games can develop logic as well.

The games provide enjoyable and fun environment unlike the traditional boring and sleepy techniques such as a set of logical tasks that usually used to improve logic. They also lack the clarity of the practical results of solved or constructed logical chain, which successfully performed by multiplayer computer games (MMO games). They have tasks to be solved, there are opponents which stimulates you not to waste time and solve the problem quickly and efficient, there is a team which you should cooperate to solve tasks.

This is very few people talk about it, but MMO games are focused on a logic development, a person needs to overcome a variety of tricky obstacles and difficulties in order to get to the goal, choosing from a wide variety of solutions the most appropriate, which finally help to succeed.

How else can we can get benefits from using MMO? Development of logic, communication skills and cooperative interaction with groups of people to achieve a common goal, thinking few steps ahead. Maybe something else?

In the world are hundreds of millions people today prefer multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPGs), so why not to combine useful training with having fun?

- How should you start organization of your team during the game?

You should start from setting roles and responsibilities during the game.

- What problems can arise in process of creating or gathering teams and also in the moment of the game?

I think for new team is an absence of a teamplay and various misunderstandings between team members can be the main problems. Your captain, of course if you have one, can spend more time on giving orders, in comparison with teams which have longer teamplay experience. Sometimes this leads to fails, the speed of making decision often plays very important role in achieving team victory.

- Are there difference between organizing newcomers and passionate gamers or even professionals?

Experienced players and professionals have better understanding of what is required from them in the game than novices. So you spend less time on organizing.

- Are there any specifics in small teams? We mean 2-5 persons. What should you know about organizing process? What are the pros and cons?

Small teams are easier to organize, but at the same time, they are less flexible than a big team. The hierarchy is not very well developed in a small team. Quite often, there is only one captain and the other players listen to him.

- What problems can arise in a large team? As well as its pros and cons in the organization compared to small one?

Large teams may face with problems if they were poorly organized. That's why big team must have a developed hierarchy. Sometimes it is necessary to divide a large team into several rooms in a voice chat. With the help of good organization a large team can easily change the way they act and it give more problems to the opponent.

- Can voice chats solve the problems of the organization during the game? If yes, how exactly?

Of сourse. It is always easier and faster to explain by the voice what is required of a man than to write this in the chat.

- How the Voice chat helped to your team?

We played in one of MMORPG 10 years ago. Many times the voice chat helped to change and rebuild the tactic of our team, which consist of 20-30 people. It simply impossible to do this in any other method.

- Do you advise to use voice chats? Why?

Of course, if there is a possibility, voice chats are indispensable tool for any team.
