WoW Cataclysm Classic --8.5 million players and Hayes the most well-known of Hayes' works.

It's been a long time since you've had a partnership in the production of the music of Blizzard. What was the reason for that?

I was involved in working with [-censured-=https://www.mmoexp.com/Wow-cata-classic/Gold.html]WoW cataclysm Gold[/-censured-] Sierra Online. I attended an event for game developers and was able to visit the Blizzard booth. I asked someone to take off their headphones so that they could play the small portable CD player that had some of my songs on it. I'm sure they were trying to be nice, and keep me. I finally reached out to the director of audio and we arranged the meeting. Then I was eventually employed.

One of the biggest drawbacks of WOW has been its constant universe. The players often accumulate hundreds of hours played. The game's content changes, but the game's audio is largely static. After this period of time, will players get bored and shut off the music?

I believe the biggest challenge when playing a game like WoW Cataclysm Classic or any vast, persistent universe that players are enrolled for some time is figuring out how to deal with this kind of experience using music. It's not just about getting boring, which obviously is an issue as well, but also what kind of music would be appropriate. In a scene from the film, you could observe that the character enters an area, and two minutes later, he'll be confronted by an important incident All of this is a very linear type of the moment-to-moment event. It's a very limited experience. If someone is sitting around in one part of the world for a long time and hours, it's difficult to imagine what you'd do artistically from a musical point of view.

There was no mention of you for your work in your role on the Burning Crusade soundtrack or s. Did you ever have any involvement in the project?

I've also been involved with NCsoft. They're a completely different company, and we're developing a brand-new game for them. It's it's a huge game that's not announced yet but is expected to be announced very near, making it an exciting time.

Are you currently involved in the Starcraft 2 soundtrack?

There's no way to tell. NCsoft prohibits some cross-industry involvement, but, Blizzard and their game worlds are present in my bloodstream and I feel an adoration for them which I'm not telling myself I will not be involved in things in the [-censured-=https://www.mmoexp.com/Wow-cata-classic/Gold.html]buy Cataclysm Classic Gold[/-censured-] near future. I'd like to be involved in other Blizzard ventures because I have so many friends from there and they make fantastic games.
