Eh, last year's wasn't too much effort. They had a page up for the wisp class the year before that. It doesn't seem like too much work for a game with ~10M subscribers now.

However, this year's Molten Core game had me falling off my chair.

This is a very effective marketing tool. Don't kid yourself. This is part of the yearly budget.

The people who work on things like this aren't the same people designing the game and the expansion.

The character designers and artists that are proficient at creating this material already aren't the ones doing this? Do they outsource it?

ah yes because employers succeed by abusing their employees

WORKERS UNITE GENERAL STRIKE STICK IT TO THE MAN

Actually lots of places encourage paid side projects. It's considered a part of building a fun workplace, and prospective employees consider it a benefit.

Ultra-progressive Google is another big advocate of this business model. They're also known for their april fools jokes, and many services like gmail actually started as employee side projectgs.

Sorry, your comment sounded like the "blizzard abuses their poor employees by making them do extra work" crap that I've had to deal with in other places.
