Remove the "War" from World of Warcraft!

The Issue

The world of Azeroth is changing, and so must its name and the essence of the stories we tell within it. With the insightful statements made by Holly Longdale, Executive Vice President and Executive Producer of World of Warcraft, there is a call for change—a call to remove 'War' from Warcraft. This change is not just about a title; it's about reflecting a shift in narrative toward inclusivity, diversity, and acceptance.

In recent developments, World of Warcraft is embracing more inclusivity, with the introduction of the Pride event. This is a powerful step in supporting LGBTQ rights, and we have the opportunity to amplify this transition by endorsing a name change that truly reflects the game’s evolving nature. Imagine a realm that embraces 'Craft', highlighting creativity, collaboration, and community—values that resonate deeply across diverse player bases.

Supporting this name change is important because it signifies more than simply modifying a word; it represents a commitment to a more accepting and inclusive player experience. Warcraft has long been a symbol of epic battles, but it is time for Azeroth to be a beacon of peace, creativity, and understanding. Just like the worlds we inhabit and shape within the game, the legacy and influence of Azeroth should evolve to reflect positive change.

Join us in supporting this transformative journey by calling on Blizzard Entertainment to consider renaming 'Warcraft' to better embody these ideals. Let us leverage this opportunity to show that Azeroth, and its community, stand for more than war—they stand for unity.

Sign this petition and help shape the future of Azeroth, ensuring it remains a sanctuary for all to enjoy.
