Blue Watch - Tuesday, May 29th, 2007
With our latest Blue Watch, there is a change to the layout and overall function of the update. With our recent Dev Tracker additions, we've added some great functionality that will now be incorporated into each Blue Watch from here out. The core layout remains the same, with a few additions and changes.
Firstly, the title of the thread now contains a link to our Dev Tracker. Here you can see the initial post in the thread, as well as each Blue post contained therein. Clicking on the
icon will take you directly to the post on the official World of Warcraft forums, so that you may join in on the conversation if you so desire.
As always, you can find Blue Watch on our wiki, as well as the Blue Watch Archives, containing each Blue Watch created thus far.
