    Zeroing In on Fun, Accessible PvP in World of Warcraft

Join WoW designers Jeff Kaplan and Tom Chilton as they tour the past, present, future of WoW PvP, including planned battleground fixes and arena balancing as well as PvP plans for the upcoming expansion, Wrath of the Lich King.

    But Morhaime and co-founder Allen Adham convinced the skeptics. The game turned out to be "WoW," the company's most successful game ever.

    "With 'World of Warcraft,' we bet the company," Sams said.

    For the love of instances...

    The second event that we attended at this years BlizzCon was the Raids and Dungeons panel. This was the discussion panel that I really wanted to attend. As any who reads the site knows, Instances are my thing. No matter if it's 5 man, 10 man, or raid, it's my true love.
