Will World of Warcraft appeal to “powergamers” or casual players?
In an interview on RPG Vault, Mark Kern explains that Blizzard is attempting to appeal to both the powergamer and the casual player. One area of focus of this effort is providing an easy to use interface with plenty of information about skills, abilities, and classes so that players will not have to seek outside info on fan sites. “Quest-driven content” and “cool locations” in the world will give players enough of a sense of what to do when they log on.
