We're not expecting very much WoW news out of E3 this week (especially since Blizzard has taken a pass on the event), but nevertheless, my co-lead Dan O'Halloran and I are here in Los Angeles for the week (and we brought all of our coolest stuff), to see what we can see. And of course if we see anything related to Azeroth at all, you'll see it, too.Activision Blizzard is planning a press conference on Tuesday evening, and we'll be there for sure, so keep an eye out for that. And we'll be paying attention to WoW competitors as well (Warhammer Online is set to make a big splash at E3, though the recent news that Mythic is cutting the game back a bit may overshadow any other announcements) -- our sister site Massively will have coverage of any and all MMOs at the show this year. And on Thursday, I'm getting a hands-on demo with the Novint Falcon, so we'll see if it controls WoW as well as they say it does. And if you're one of those who wants to see the big picture, Joystiq's E3 page has all the E3 news you need and then some.
It won't be all work there -- we'll also be at the big Joystiq meetup on Thursday, so if you're in LA and want to come by and say hi, please do (I'll try to wear my BlizzCon t-shirt so you can find me). For us WoW fans, the big events of the year are the Worldwide Invitational and BlizzCon, of course, but WoW Insider's got you covered at E3, too.

Cool. This is offtopic, but could you guys try to find someone who wants to write a rogue kara-gearing up guide while you're out there? I'm thinking that meetup sounds like a great place to find someone interested.

The current "E3" BS should just die already. No one cares. It does not help the industry.
Bring back the over the top E3.

Deviationer, this smalller E3 is very good for the industry. Go to the public 'E3' later.

Is Blizzard really going to announce anything big at E3? It seems to me they save all their real information for their own events, like Blizzcon. I'd suspect maybe some Starcraft 2 information, since that's been a little scarce lately, but I doubt any mindblowing WoW info. Probably more of the same of what we saw at WWI.
