WoW’s Running of the Gnomes, BlizzCon’s virtual tickets, and patch 7.3.2 story spoilers

    
10

Did you drop $40 on a virtual ticket for BlizzCon 2017? You won’t have to wait until the convention starts in November to enjoy some of the benefits that come with such a golden pass.

Blizzard has started to post pre-show videos leading up to the show, and while the public can view some of them for free, others are exclusive for virtual ticket holders. Three videos can be access with the ticket, looking at casual and advanced cosplay as well as a trip into the Blizzard museum for memorable stories about the community.

Speaking of the community, World of Warcraft players are organizing another Running of the Gnomes on October 14th to raise awareness and money for the fight against breast cancer. While there is now an official micro-holiday spawned from this player event, this particular run is purely community-operated. Participants are urged to roll a pink-haired Gnome on the Scarlet Crusade server and have their guilds donate to charity.

Finally, in response to Wowhead’s datamining of sound files from the 7.3.2 test server, BlizzardWatch offers a glimpse into the future of the game. And you thought lore was boring!

BW’s Matthew Rossi opines that the datamined dialogue bits constitute farewell messages from Illidan to Malfurion and Tyrande and a summary from Khadgar that suggests Sargeras’ end doomed the whole of Azeroth and points to… Silithus? “Silithus is fairly close to the ocean off it’s west coast as well, for folks who won’t give up on that South Seas idea,” Rossi notes. “This could definitely be the start of an Old Gods themed expansion.”
