Blizzard Devs to Meet Fans at Midnight Releases
Wrath of the Lich King will be available at midnight on Nov. 13 all around the globe, and Blizzard developers and executives will be on hand at four locations throughout the United States to sign copies and meet players. So if you're near New York City, Anaheim, San Francisco or Austin, prepare for some long lines.
In addition to these four US locations, similar events will be held internationally in Paris, London, Berlin, Madrid, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Mexico City, Taipei, and Seoul. Full details on the specific locations and plans for each of these events can be found at www.worldofwarcraft.com/es, www.wow-europe.com and www.worldofwarcraft.co.kr.
Copies of the game will be available on a first-come, first-served basis at midnight, so get to your stores early. Of course, the real question will be if the servers can even handle the rush.
