Blizzard's off to DreamHack!

DreamHack Winter is back, and Blizzard Entertainment will be there! We've partnered with TeliaSonera to give this year's attendees a chance to play Blizzard's upcoming StarCraft II and the recently released World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.

You'll find us next to the DreamArena, where Blizzard representatives will be on hand to answer questions, chat with players, and demonstrate the games. We'll also be running several contests featuring great prizes, including the Lich King's legendary sword Frostmourne -- though don't be surprised if Arthas himself shows up to try to stop you from winning.

This year's DreamHack Winter takes place from 27 to 30 November at Elmia in Jönköping, Sweden. For more information on the event, visit the DreamHack website. We look forward to seeing you there!

I would have loved to return to Sweden -- I was made so very welcome at the WotLK midnight opening. But unfortunately not this time, but you might catch Vaneras and Thundgot ;-)

Quick update from Sweden!

Newcomer's Challenge
Participants were given a task usually combining questing and racing (on foot) to complete it ahead of the others. The final involved doing certain early quests in Elwynn Forest, then finding the hidden Blizzard person in Stormwind and hand over the quest rewards.

1st place: Alexander F
2nd place: Martin S
3rd place: Xinri F

Levelling contest
Qualifying rounds with 20 minutes levelling with a new character. Best scores (level and XP) from all qualifying rounds combined went to the final. In the final the characters were new Death Knights, and the given time 30 minutes.

1st place: Sebastian T, level 56, 88117 XP, proud owner of a Frostmourne replica!
2nd place: Adam G, level 56, 66248 XP
3rd place: Christoffer A, level 56, 64177 XP
4th place: Pierre W, level 56, 63644 XP

We've had some great (and busy) days at DreamHack and met a lot of ethusiastic players. Hundreds have participated in the contests, and the Wrath of the Lich King and StarCraft II PCs have been fully occupied pretty much all the time. Judging by the Lich King's popularity as he walked through the venue, the ranks of Death Knights should double or triple soon.

We hope those who have visited us here have enjoyed it as much as we did. We're about the close down the gaming areas now, and start on the trip home, but maybe we'll see each other again. :)

Q u o t e:
Are you coming to The Gathering, the upcoming Easter?

If/when we decide to go to an event we'll let you know. :)
