Back to Lich King - what do you think is the biggest advancement in the update?
Chilton: From a design stand-point, one of the biggest things we're doing is introducing a new class to the game. We've never done that before. So, that's certainly a design advancement, so far we've gotten great feedback on that. We're working to improve the character class, talents, etc. Fleshing things out.
Brack: In the future I'm pretty excited about the achievements systems, its going to help players track their progress; find funs things to do. It'll sort of act as a guide, too.

Can MMOs work on consoles? And will we ever see WoW on consoles?
Chilton: Well, I definitely think MMOs can work on consoles. No question that it's a possibility... as far as WoW goes...
Brack: Currently, we're not really motivated to try to move WoW to a console. The biggest thing is that WoW wasn't designed for a console, so retrofitting it would be a pretty serious challenge. That said I have seen people hooking controllers up to their consoles, it's a little difficult though. An MMO on the console would be an MMO designed specifically for the console. We wouldn't take a PC game and just make it work.
We're not working on that presently, however!
