The WoW.com team will be at BlizzCon in force this year. Between liveblogging the big announcements and resisting the siren call of the Diablo 3 demo stations, we want to talk to you, the loyal readers, and we don't mean just at our 3rd Annual WoW.com BlizzCon Meet Up. We are planning a special BlizzCon edition of our weekly interview series 15 Minutes of Fame and are looking for some candidates for the column. We are especially interested in interviewing those WoW players who have a unique approach to the game.
Are you the oldest player in the game who doesn't play with family? Are you the youngest and shouldn't be reading this site without adult supervision? The guild leader who does things differently? The guy who plays without the UI/Keyboard/Talents, etc.? Are you famous for something in or out of Azeroth? Should we interview your entire guild at once?
If you think you bring something special to how you play the game and will be at BlizzCon next week, send us an e-mail at 15minutesoffame at wow dot com explaining what makes you a candidate for this special BlizzCon Edition of 15 Minutes of Fame. We'll pick the most interesting stories and contact you to make arrangements to meet during the convention for the interview. If we get enough interesting emails, we may even pick more than one.
Please send your emails by Monday, August 17th to give us time to read through them all and coordinate the interviews. Don't leave your story and contact info in the comments of this post, send them to 15minutesoffame at wow dot com.
"I never thought of playing WoW like that!" - neither did we, until we talked with these players. From an Oscar-winning 3-D effects director to a custom action figure artist and even a bunch of guys who get together for dinner and group raiding in person every week, catch it on 15 Minutes of Fame.Filed under: Features, BlizzCon, 15 Minutes of Fame

That is one hell of an awesome undead costume, so much attention to detail! Loves it!

Man, looking at that Undead costume never gets old! Same with the Draenei! They both did awesome jobs.
/Wishes she was going to Blizzcon

That's not a Draenei, she's got Orb of Deception in her left hand. =P

It's not a Draenei, it's a blood elf with an orb of deception. ;)

" I am a loyal Horde fan I didn't want to cosplay as my Blood Elf. I like how the Draenei look so I decided to do one and just make a little Orb of Deception so I could keep my loyalties to the Horde. ;)"

Thanks. . . that seemed a little too easy. :D
