Ahead of World of Warcraft’s upcoming Dragonflight expansion, Blizzard and Twitter are teaming up to give players a nostalgic look-back at the journey their characters have embarked on over the past 18 years.
All it takes is a tweet. Starting today, players interested in taking part simply need to include the name of their character, the realm they are on, and their server region alongside tagging @Warcraft and using #WarcraftStory in a tweet. From there, the Twitter API and Warcraft API will find and automatically compose a “complete” history for that particular character and send it back to players in the form of a reply to the player’s original tweet.
The Warcraft stories shared with players will include a look-back at their top achievements and other character details beyond simple stats, and players will be able to unlock additional stories by continuing to reply to their initial tweet. Those who create a tweet will be notified on Twitter once the game’s new Dragonflight expansion arrives later this year.
