As if a new studio of about 200 people are just going to kick the door down to the WoW development offices and demand a seat at the computer or they're gonna tell mom.
A few of them may interview for positions within WoW but looks like they for the most part won't have any hands on it.

I wish they’d give us patch 1.09 in D2 if they’re remaking it. That was the height of the games popularity by far. Once 1.10 came the servers dropped so hard. I still had fun with it myself and stayed until after 1.11 but it never compared to 1.09.
What they SHOULD do is support the community and give them something new; People loved Diablo 2; the sequel, although though successful, missed the make for a lot of people. We don't need a new game or a remake, blizzard needs to take a page out of the book of Titan Quest and give Diablo 2 another expansion.
Titan quest has had 2 expansions released 10 YEARS later; the game is getting support, where is the support for Diablo 2??? One of the greatest videogames in history has just been left to languish and rot. Blizzard has not missed the opportunity to recapture the excitement of the Diablo 2 veterans....
I think this is actually a good thing. My guess is, that Activision was probably tired of seeing goldmine IP's like Warcraft and Diablo being ruined by Blizzard.
Apparently Blizzard is no longer able to deliver good work on it's own - so a set of fresh eyes is needed dearly.
Sounds like they’re basically replacing Blizzard classic games team since they flopped on WC3, which seems a bit odd since that game reeks of awful management and pressure from above to release early written all over it. (IE mostly not the teams fault)
And the extras will be put on random teams throughout Blizzard or let go.
Maybe more people means more than 1 new game every 5 years. We’ll see.
''Due to how poor Warcraft 3: Reforged was received, Blizzard wanted to avoid repeating their mistakes for Diablo 2: Resurrected.''
What did they expect XD They shat all over a game so bad, I didn't even think it would be possible. It was so ridiculous easy to make a proper reforged classic, instead they choose poorly and went for the cheap, unblizzard like quality way. They shouldn't even mention their scumbag move in the news. It was a fraud. It should have said: ''Because of cheap budget decisions, Warcraft 3: refunded has been an expected failure.''
