Since there's no Blizzcon Forum yet...

...and I'm still ridiculously excited about the event...

What's everyone looking forward to the most?

I just enjoy being at an event where it's 90% likely I have something in common with pretty much everyone around me. I'm a con junkie as it is, and with WoW being my current favorite past time, Blizzcon's pretty high on that list of favorite cons.

But anyway, the question remains: What are you looking forward to the most? Could be an event or just a quality of the con itself.

Are certain CMs scared or excited to meet certain forum trolls? =P

Always. :p

Q u o t e:


I have no idea if any of them even take notice of me - or the alts I post on frequently. :3

I would imagine other forum trolls would just want to find out if I'm really a girl or not. :P

Any methods of verification would probably be inappropriate, so I just take you at your word. ;p

I always look forward to getting to see some of the pro-gamers go head-to-head in the tournament matches. I also enjoy all the costumes and getting to meet people, though many people don't know who we are if they don't read the forums much or listen to the BlizzCasts. ;)

It's just fun being in that atmosphere and seeing everyone have a great time. You can feel comfortable amongst all the other gamers, you get each other's jokes, and understand what they're talking about. It's a good time.

Can I give you a hug again this year, Neth?

Sure. You're even smaller than I am so I get to feel tall. ;p

I wish I knew what you all looked like. With a sea of so many faces, I'm never sure who's going to sneak up on me and know who I am.

I think my pictures been posted enough on these forums >.>

Though, thankfully, not for a while.

Someone needs to create a database of forum regulars and their pictures. They get lost in the shuffle. :p

It is quite fun. Last year I got pretty much nothing but "who are you?" and then I would answer and get blank looks. Only a few people knew who I was so I enjoyed it a lot.

I am prepared for this year again with: Nethaera is over there, have a good time at BlizzCon!

I'm thinking about organizing a CM hunt.

There's a few different ways I could go about it, but I thought the most fun would be having people run around in $2 white t-shirts with blue permanent markers and having CMs sign their shirt. Neat way to get a cool unique souvenir and meet the people you talk to on the forums all the time. =D


Not a bad idea, though you might want to expand that to a dev hunt too. We're just there to give support and make sure you all have a great time too!

Haha... That was fun to stand in front of the stage with you and watch people notice Nethaera while passing us as if we only served to block walkway space.

It was interesting to screen questions during the panel discussions only to have people respond with, "Who are you and why are you asking me?" :p

Q u o t e:
Only if you do the same for the CMs. =P

WoWwiki already does this.

Edit: FIRST

Q u o t e:


Definitely! Maybe just a Blue Hunt in general. =D

I'd like to get a list together, and heck, maybe if I contact one of the Blizzcon sponsors (like Jinx), I can arrange with them some advertising and/or a prize for whoever finds the most.

Any way I could work with the CMs to make something like this happen?


You never know. .. come up with an idea and maybe we can help a little, but just keep in mind we're all going to be pretty busy on our end.

Q u o t e:
Yeahhh, no offense but as of Blizzcon you were still quite personality-less when it came to your few posts the way I remember it. A robot being behind the keyboard wouldn't have seemed out of place to most forum goers. Your posting's changed a lot since then though obviously.


No, I am boring and unoriginal. Move along, move along.

Then how come I don't see you up there, young man?!

Hey, my picture was posted on the forums. Come to think of it... the fact that it never really showed up elsewhere worked in my favor. =x

Bornakk. I remember you last year and I will track you again this year. T-Shirt signing sounds like a wonderful idea. I want a witty comment on it btw, so start thinking now.

INFACT! I work at FedEx Office. Email me your picture and I'll make a shirt with your face and name on it. Then you can sign it :D

See, now you're being mean :[

I'm sure any other CM or GM etc would love to have their face on my shirt!

Just so you know how to find me, how about you send me your face and I'll wear it on my shirt?

Edit: Not like... your actual face. That might sting.

The idea that multiple people would be walking around a convention at which I'm working with my face on their shirts is actually bordering a nightmare I've probably had at some point.

Edit: just to make sense.

If you wanted to mail CMs gifts, how would you go about that? Your hands are already too full at Blizzcon with microphones to give presents. :(

We're looking to update players with such information as soon as our on-order bomb sniffing dogs are delivered.

I may be attending this year. All the way from AUSTRALIA. Having family in the airline business helps make the trips cost more bearable.

The Spiritwolf expects only the reddest of carpets.

You're only allowed entrance if you squeeze me into a comic. :p

Gain some pounds lately, Zarhym?

I did drink a lot of Ensure when I had my wisdom teeth removed...

No, I think I'm still in the 140-150 lbs. range.

You blocked me from your BlizzCon bucket. How dare thee.
