At Blizzard Entertainment, we can’t stop thinking about games. We dream them up, build them, and support them so that they’re enjoyable and available all over the world. As gamers, we feel lucky to spend our days creating the kinds of games that we love to play.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve launched a new callback-based system for players who need phone support. This is a big change from our traditional phone support, so we wanted to provide some details about this service.
