BlizzCon in 3 Days - Are You Prepared?

BlizzCon is just 3 days away and there's tons of new information pouring in. Curse will be there, so we'll be sure to bring updated information for you as it happens.

The schedule for both days has been announced, and there's something very interesting. Take a look at the Hands-On Gaming schedule. What's going to happen with the World of Warcraft Hands-On? Is this is yet another clue that the next expansion will be announced at BlizzCon, or will Zul'Aman be playable? Or perhaps both? We'll have to wait another 3 days to see for sure but in the meantime, if you'd like to join in on the speculation of the next expansion, members of Curse have created a thread discussing the next expansion and some of the things they'd like to see in it.

    Was seriously pondering going... but a price drop on the Intel processors got to me first :P. I would've loved to take part in the WoW discussions though as there are some interesting points to bring up on how Blizzard is currently itemizing and long-lasting contradictory issues.
