Blizzard Europe recently updated their jobs site with a host of new positions which strongly suggest more EU expansion, this time in Italy and Poland. The last major EU release was a localised Russian version of the game which came out last year.According to the site, Blizzard Europe is looking for Customer Support Representatives in Italian and Polish, along with Customer and Billing Support and Customer and Technical Support. Under their Web Team, they are looking to fill Web Editor positions in both languages, while under Community they are looking for Online Community Representatives. All these positions are based in either Paris, France or Cork, Ireland.
Update: We asked Blizzard about these positions and have been told simply: "no comment".

Another +80 if you add horse radish.

WoW Item Creator is fail, I couldn't fit "well fed" effect, nor set conjured status. But you get the idea.

Russia is not part of the EU, I don't think.

Jump off a cliff.

Got a problem with accuracy?

WI is American, be grateful they didn't put Russia in Africa or something.

Does WoWInsider just regurgitate everything that MMOChampion posts?
Eternauta May 18th 2009 2:30PM
What's wrong with that?
zappo May 18th 2009 2:47PM
Mostly yes. You must be new here.
Gutrick May 18th 2009 2:32PM
I'm gonna get killed for this....
In Polish WoW, do you start at 80 and work your way back to lvl1 Hogger raids in the endgame?
Matthew May 18th 2009 2:34PM
Why would you get killed for that? It doesn't even make any sense.
tim May 18th 2009 2:39PM
In Polish WoW there is only one profession.
PLUMBER.
Fordragon May 18th 2009 2:57PM

I'm so ashamed I actually got that and laughed... lol

Congratulations, Matthew -- you've just heard your first Polish joke!
Gutrick: all chest items will be bowling shirts.

They ran a poll on EU realms recently, to find out if people consider polish players to be a problem. 5% said: "Yes, they are a major problem." Remaining 95% said: "Absolutnie kurwa żaden!" :P
Sorry, guys, couldn't resist.
I am really not happy about opening more nationalized realms, I'm seriously gonna miss all those cool people. We're already lacking good talents because of german, french and russian realms, now we're gonna lose italian and polish guys too, it's a pity.
Endless May 18th 2009 4:23PM
Then again, thinking about it - if all the polish guys migrate to another realm, maybe I can finally use names like Vesemir, Renfri, Visenna and Triss for my characters. :P
