Oof, some people really, really do not like jokes about BlizzCon, as I found out Sunday when my throwaway headline about paying Blizzard 50 bucks to let us alpha test our childhoods provoked some readers to flip out in the comments and social media. I hear you, folks. You’re OK with paying to alpha test nostalgia – we’re just haggling over the price, as the old saying goes.
I thought the topic would make for an interesting poll. Are you buying a BlizzCon virtual ticket this year, and if so, is it because of the swag, the panels, or WoW Classic specifically? How many core MMO fans are buying a ticket just to demo vanilla? Let’s find out.
