Redirect to:

World of Warcraft

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

With old history: This is a redirect from a page that was from a historic version of this Wikipedia project.

With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
- When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
- If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
- Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
- {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
- When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.

To a related topic: This is a redirect to an article about a similar topic.
- Redirects from related topics are different than redirects from related words, because a related topic is more likely to warrant a full and detailed description in the target article. If this redirect's subject is notable, then also tag it with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}.

From a printworthy page title: This is a redirect from a title that would be helpful in a printed or CD/DVD version of Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Printability and Version 1.0 Editorial Team for more information.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-==Personal==
-Tom Chilton is a respected [[Game Designer]], who has been a key part of the development of [[World of Warcraft]]. Along with Co-Lead [[Jeffrey Kaplan]], he has worked at [[Blizzard Entertainment]] for five years. He is married and lives with his family in [[California]].
-==Criticism==
-The months following the release of [[Ultima Online: Age of Shadows|Age of Shadows]] saw a significant exodus of veteran players from [[Ultima Online]]. Many players insisted that the new item system broke [[Ultima Online]]'s long-standing tradition of being skill-based in favor of an item-based system. This criticism was stated again for [[World Of Warcraft]] with the introduction of the honor system rewards and some raid tier armor sets that many players felt made the [[Player versus player|PvP]] mainly item-based instead of skill-based.
-Some players who had played both [[Ultima Online|UO]] and [[World of Warcraft|WoW]] suggested on the World of Warcraft Forums that Tom Chilton, being lead designer for both games,  could be the man responsible for the two shifts from skill-based to item-based system. In addition, many players claim that Tom Chilton is also to blame for the great misbalance considering the different types of classes in World of Warcraft.
