World of Warcraft: The Magazine Issue 2 cover artwork
World of Warcraft: The Magazine is a collaboration between Blizzard and Future[1] (a magazine publisher). Blizzard showcased the publication at BlizzCon 2009.[2] The magazine only lasted 5 issues,[3] was often late, and was considered over-priced by many people. However, the content and presentation was considered high quality and the magazine did not have advertising.
