What is a Bluepost?
Understanding developer forum communications vs. formal patch notes on the Camelot Chronicle.
f you follow World of Warcraft news and game balance discussions, you will frequently hear scribes and players reference a Bluepost. On the official Blizzard Battle.net forums, communications made by Blizzard staff—including game designers, producers, programmers, and community managers—are styled with a distinct, iconic cyan-blue avatar frame and text highlight.
The Staff Cyan Ink Stamp
This distinct visual styling was introduced in the earliest days of World of Warcraft to prevent impersonation and help players immediately recognize legitimate announcements from developers among thousands of community forum threads.
Blueposts vs. Patch Notes: What's the Difference?
While both provide official information regarding World of Warcraft Classic Plus, they serve two distinct reporting functions:
Structured, concrete documentation detailing code changes deployed in an active patch or server build.
- Exact numerical adjustments (e.g. "Damage increased by 10%")
- Fixed bugs and resolved exploits
- New content unlocks and dungeon boss tuning
Ongoing, transparent developer posts explaining the philosophy, intentions, and discussions behind upcoming decisions.
- Design philosophy & class balance rationales
- Community Q&A responses & feedback threads
- Early previews of features under PTR evaluation
