European fans of the
World of Warcraft Trading Card Game are in luck as the
Darkmoon Faire will be visiting Amsterdam this September.
Upper Deck, who host the events, are expecting 350 players to attend and are offering a host of prizes, including a goody bag for every attendee as well as raffle with some really epic loot as prizes. The goody bag contains a T-Shirt, regular and exclusive Mini figures, a Death Knight Starter pack, some battleground cards, a demo CD, a common loot card and an entry form for the raffle.
The raffle is where things get interesting.
Upper Deck have fifteen prizes up for grabs which have a combined worth of €5000. They are giving away:
- One Frostmourne sword
- Two Collectors Editions of Wrath of the Lich King
- Five exclusive Wrath of the Lich King mousepads
- Two complete sets of Minis
- Five Spectral Tiger mounts
The event will be taking place at Westergasfabriek between September 12th and 13th. Tickets are free so if you're in Amsterdam that weekend, you might want to pop along.

Apparently there's one in Austin in October. First time I've heard of this thing, and now I wanna go. Keep us updated, please?

Hi, I work on the Darkmoon Faires for Upper Deck and will be in Amsterdam.
There is always a LAN network of the MMO for people to play on, and they host things like arena contests, treasure hunts, levelling contests etc with more rare loot prizes as the award (there's usually 2 or 3 Spectral Tigers available for winning Arena or Levelling competitions). I'm not sure if those prizes got diverted into the raffle this time or whether those are available as well. Basically if you can make it about a third of the way into level 8 within 60 minutes you stand a very good chance of winning a Spectral Tiger or Nether Rocket. There's an American who travels the world winning all the levelling comps, paying for his travel and accomodation with the Spectral Tigers he wins, and his Blood Elf Rogue consistently gets 30-40% of the way into level 8. That's the target you have to beat!
Austin plays host to the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS of the TCG around the 9th-11th of October. I'm not sure if I'm going to be at that one yet. I'm guessing there will be mega-goodies to give away as it's World Champs, not just a Darkmoon Faire.
Oh, and the TCG and Minis are great games too, give them a try.

Thanks for that reply. Yeah, I should probably try the card game out before going to that, if I go :)

Is the goody bag only for people who attend the card game comp or just for everyone attending the Darkmoon Faire?
