Dear members of the Blizzard community,

I have read your feedback and comments about this year’s BlizzCon, and I have also read the feedback to the apology from Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftain. I’d like to respond to some of your feedback here.

<good part edited out due to copyright limitations>

The bottom line is we deeply apologize for our mistakes and for hurting or offending anyone. We want you to have fun at our events, and we want everyone to feel welcome. We’re proud to be part of a huge and diverse community, and I am proud that so many aspects of the community are represented within Blizzard itself.

As a leader of Blizzard, and a member of the band, I truly hope you will accept my humblest apology.

– Mike Morhaime
President, Blizzard Entertainment

1. All well and good...

But you still screwed up my tree form!

2. Others should learn to apologize like this:

"The bottom line is we deeply apologize for our mistakes and for hurting or offending anyone"

and

"I truly hope you will accept my humblest apology"
