Exactly what is Blizzard North? For a long time I just thought there was one big Blizzard which made all of StarCraft, WarCraft, and the like. Then I learned (from seeing the intro to Diablo II, I think...) that there was a division of Blizzard called Blizzard North. But, when I go to http://www.blizzard.com it just says Blizzard Entertainment everywhere and there is no distinction.
So my real question I suppose would be: Is there a Blizzard South or is Blizzard North just another name for Blizzard? I have heard about a Blizzard South, but never about anything they have created.
This question stems from my worry about what will happen to World of WarCraft. Per my research I have read that Blizzard North isn't really involved too much with WoW (who is then?). Also, I have read that, seeing as the Schaefers, Roper, and the other guy where part of the original Blizzard North, they weren't even around for the beginings of WarCraft and thus their leaving, while sad and unencouraging, won't likely leave the company (and their games) in disarray.
Just looking for a little clearing up I suppose!
