We've posted about 30 pics from Blizzard's official launch event last night at a Best Buy near New York City's Times Square. With thousands of gamers awaiting the release of WoW's second expansion, it was tough to capture the scale of the event, but we'll show you the crowds, the coveted copies and Collector's Editions, the Blizzard devs on-hand to sign autographs, four very cute blood elves that alone make the click worth it, and of course the festivities and craziness surrounding an epic midnight launch event.
