We’re just a few days away from this year’s BlizzCon, which will be taking place this weekend in Anaheim, California, and in preparation for the event, Blizzard Community Manager Ythisens has popped by the official World of Warcraft forums to give players a heads-up about what to expect from the convention in terms of both content and security.
Content-wise, Ythisens notes that although the devs have been and continue to be hard at work on WoW’s next major content update, Tides of Vengeance, it won’t be the primary focus at BlizzCon. “We do plan on discussing some of it,” Ythisens writes, “but as many of you know, BlizzCon is where we typically talk about longer term goals and plans.” As such, fans can expect the majority of the information to be about the content that’s in the works following the release of Tides of Vengeance.
Ythisens also wants attendees to be aware that the con will be implementing extra security measures this year, adding metal detectors and bag checks “at every point of entrance this year.” In light of these changes, it may take a little bit longer for attendees to get into the convention than it has in previous years, so it might be prudent to arrive a bit earlier, “especially if you’re wanting to catch the opening ceremony live on Friday.”
