Blizzard at PAX 2009 wrapup![(!empty($user->lang['IMAGE'])) ? $user->lang['IMAGE'] : ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', 'IMAGE')))](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wow.com/media/2009/09/blizzatpax.jpg)
PAX wrapped up over the weekend in Seattle, and from what we've heard of
our friends' experiences over at Joystiq, it was a wild, wild time.
Blizzard was there as expected, and it sounds like the setup was pretty awesome. They had all three playable demos up from
BlizzCon, including the
Starcraft II singleplayer game, the
Diablo III monk class, and of course the
Cataclysm Worgen and Goblin race starting areas. We hear that Blizzard had their GMs in attendance as well, and reader Aveiceae (whose pictures you can see in the gallery below) reports that she saw both Drysc and Bornakk there. She also says that Blizzard gave away some of
their famous hand sanitizer throughout the show -- very important, especially at a gaming convention during swine flu season.
Tisoi also has
a report over on WoW LJ, including a few pictures of the setup on the convention floor, as well as a few (sneaky) screenshots of the Worgen and Goblin areas. He also got to meet Jeff "Vork" Lewis and Sandeep "Zaboo" Parikh of The Guild. Felicia Day wasn't there (she spent the weekend at
Dragon*Con, where there was other
WoW-related shenanigans going on), but as Sandeep reported on his Twitter,
she wasn't needed, thanks to cosplayers. Sounds like a great time was had by all. Next year, PAX is
headed out east -- we'll have to keep an eye out and see if Blizzard is going there as well.
