Blizzplanet's got the deets on
a Future Shop midnight launch going on in Canada (eh?), so plans of
Wrath midnight launch events are starting to sneak out into the world.
Blizzard will be doing their usual schtick in Los Angeles, and this time also in New York, San Franscisco, and Austin, where developers go out to stores to sign and say hi while people buy their game. Our good friends BRK and Mania are
hosting an event in Orlando, Florida, and I'll be picking up my game at
the Gamestop just south of Clark and Diversey in Chicago (and I'll probably invite you all out for a drink or two beforehand at a bar around here, if you're interested). We're also planning some more events around the country here at WoW Insider -- stay tuned for more information about when and where things are going down.
And if you've got information about a special midnight launch event going on around the country (or if, hint hint, you happen to work for a retailer and want to
give us an inside scoop on what they've got planned, anonymity assured), please do
drop a note on our tip line. The
Burning Crusade launch was
the biggest expansion launch of all time ever, and
Wrath, with its return to
Warcraft III lore and
the increase in Blizzard's playerbase, is shaping up to be even bigger.
