BlizzCon 2010: Blues among you

BlizzCon 2010 is almost here! If you're headed to BlizzCon 2010, you may notice something a little different this year. Unlike years past, when Community Team interaction was restricted largely to moderating panels, this year the blues will come to you -- on the convention floor, that is. Blue poster Nethaera announced this interesting change of procedure on the official forums earlier today.
NethaeraFor the past few years, you may have noticed Community Team members moderating the various BlizzCon panels. This year, things are a little bit different. Instead of moderating panels, we'll be providing BlizzCon updates on the forums, Facebook, and Twitter as well as mingling with attendees around the convention center. That's right, this year we will be among you and look forward to getting meet and talk with you during the convention. If you see one of us, feel free to stop us and say, "Hi".
This begs the question -- who's going to moderate all those panels? Regardless, this is apt to be a fun change for the Community Manager Team. So if you ever wanted to say hello to your favorite flickering candle or floating skull, keep your eyes peeled on the convention floor -- they could be right behind you!

I'd walk to California to see a Ghostcrawler vs. Tseric Icy Sarcasm Throwdown.

That my friend would be worth the cost of admission right there.

This is cool and everything but....idk I'd be a little afraid if i was a blizzard employee "mingling" with the wow community.

Better a CM than a developer, maybe :)
alteffour Oct 20th 2010 8:30PM
@bennet except the CMs are more well known and likely to be singled out then the devs.

People don't understand the difference.
To them all GM's are the people who post on the forum, fix the bugs, deal with balance, and work on the game.

Just so the forum trolls don't get any funny ideas, the blues joined the guild < and Two Stealthed Rogues >

I wonder if Ghostcrawler will be among these "minglers"? He might want to get a bodyguard or two if he does.

Creepy. ;)

Loot-Filled Pumpkin (Contains no loot)

Well the loot was cake... and well... you know the rest.

It contains hope change and half truths. :)

I've been getting flimsy masks in the HH pumpkin loot bag recently. I'm thinking that maybe this was a hotfix to avoid the "there is no loot" thing.

Just got an e-mail from Blizz. Lokks like they gave in and made a privacy option for real friends IDs

And Battle.net is down as everyone rushes to turn off friends of friends.
Starsmore Oct 20th 2010 8:52PM
I thought they announced that weeks ago...

I wish I could go. I wanna hug Bornakk.

Christ. GC better have a bodyguard.
BigBadGooz Oct 20th 2010 9:09PM
Or loot cards that give you a free pony

He just needs his metaphorical nerf hammer. And by metaphorical, I mean literal. And by nerf, I mean metal.
