I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Blizzard Entertainment (Austin, TX) in Feb 2010
Interview
I was interviewed by two senior GMs, both of whom I still know and like, even after leaving the company. They were very easy-going and did not attempt to pull any trick questions on me--we had a real conversation through most of it, and it was not that huge an issue that I didn't know WoW very well at the time. If you have CS experience and seem like a culture fit, they don't really quibble over your interest in the game as long as you make it clear you don't mind learning about it.

Question 1
They may ask you to describe how you tie your shoes, or make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. This sounds silly, but the purpose is to learn how well you can outline a point and describe a solution to a question: since the job of game master is largely to tell people how to access this or that, or explain why something is happening in game, it's important that they know how well you can politely and succinctly answer questions that may seem common sense or even stupid to you, but that for one reason or another escapes the person asking the question.

Fantastic, quick and to the point. And the interviewer had some focused questions leaning toward the service type. Couldn't have been happier with the response time as well, was informed of hire within 2 days.

Interview
Had to come in through a temporary agency, Volt. It was a small office with a standard interview process. They asked me several questions and I was able to demonstrate competency and interest for the job. When I was offered to go full time with Blizzard after a preliminary few months with Volt, there was no further interview process and it was quite easy.

They threw in a classic quirky Blizz style question, something about which thing you'd rather be attacked by?
