WORLD OF WARCRAFT NEWS AND COMMUNITY EVENTS

Earlier this week, Blizzard announced the sales dates and pricing for
BlizzCon 2011. As noted in the official blog post, tickets have sold out within
minutes in previous years, so you may also want to keep the option of purchasing
a virtual ticket in mind. For full details on this year's 'con, be sure to visit
the official BlizzCon website. Resident news and editorials writer, Saia, also
had some thoughts to share on the subject this week, so be sure to check out her
article, Money, Failocs and Queues - The REAL Cost of BlizzCon Tickets.

Awesome Stuff Created by the WoW Community

For this week's Creative Corner we've got a great new video from TradeChat,
titled "BAM! I'M A CAT... RAWR!" While the title alone is awesome and worthy of
mention, be sure to check the full video below. You can find more of TradeChat's
videos on the official YouTube channel, such as the hilarious clip posted
yesterday titled "Puppy Identity Crisis!" It has absolutely nothing to do with
anything, but that's not always a bad thing.
