BlizzCon Ticket Holders Getting In-Game Perks

If you were one of the lucky people who managed to snag a ticket to BlizzCon in the seconds that they were made available for purchase, or if you’re willing to spend $39.95 on a virtual ticket, then you’re going to get an exclusive World of Warcraft in-game pet, some StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty perks, and access to BlizzCon merchandise that the general public apparently won’t be able to purchase. I don’t see any Diablo-related incentives, but I’m sure we’ll see something yet:

“Death will rise from the tide!” Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain once warned — and at BlizzCon 2010, the band’s dire musical prophecy will finally come to pass. Everyone who attends this year’s BlizzCon or purchases the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket will receive an exclusive set of murlocalyptic in-game items for World of Warcraft and StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. World of Warcraft players will be joined by Deathy, a murloc companion decked out as Deathwing and doing his best to strike fear into the hearts of Azeroth’s crustacean population. You’ll also be able to display your tidal pride in StarCraft II with a Murloc Marine character portrait and a pair of deep-sea decals to emblazon on your units, each with a different terran, protoss, and zerg design.

BlizzCon 2010 takes place on October 22 and 23 at the Anaheim Convention Center. For further details or to order the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket, visit www.BlizzCon.com.
