So BlizzCon 2009 is beginning to ramp up. The good stuff doesn’t start until tomorrow, but people are already lining up to get their badges — and blogging about it, the lucky buggers.
I’m not, of course. I’m not lining up to get my badge and I’m not blogging about it. Instead, I’m blogging about not being there to line up and get my badge, because once again I couldn’t afford to attend (and I doubt I could have gotten a ticket even if I had the money to go).
MMO Champion has posted a massive load of unofficial, unconfirmed information about the supposed upcoming WoW expansion, Cataclysm.
I haven’t read through it all in detail yet (I’ve been doing 12+ hours of Java coding each day this week) but one thing immediately caught my eye:
According to WoW Insider, we will soon be learning from Blizzard that the next expansion is called “Cataclysm” and that there are two new races: the Goblins for Horde and the Worgen for Alliance.
If this is true — and it seems quite possible to me that WoW Insider has some sort of insider connections (Heh! Insider connections! Get it?) — I am very excited.
With BlizzCon only two weeks away, rumors about what we’ll learn there are beginning to swirl frantically around the WoW-o-sphere. (Some of these are apparently fueled by carefully-tended teasers and ‘leaks’. Others are probably just made-up.)
Careful when you log in today. Hunter talents were apparently reset last night or this morning, along with the talents of the pet you happened to have with you.
This came as a bit of a surprise to me in my first fight of the day, when I realized that I was getting my butt kicked and I went to hit Bestial Wrath and Intimidation … and they weren’t there.
Oddly, I could only find confirmation of this on the EU Hunter forum, but since my talents on a US realm have been reset I assume it applies to everyone.
