The BlizzCon Coverage Continues

The folks over at The Safehouse are next in line with a detailed report of Blizzard’s recent BlizzCon event. It amazes me that people are willing to pay so much money for a World of Warcraft pet…

I gotta give Blizzard credit on the goodie bag. 2 t-shirts, keychains, one of those gel bracelets (these varied but I got a blue Starcraft one I saw a brown WoW one in someone else’s bag). There was also a PvP book, a pack of playing cards and a souvenir booklet. Earlier I had also received a card good for my murloc pet and an invite to a blizzard beta. This they had given me when I picked up my pass. Later on I ran into a guy who said his Australian guild mate has offered him $1200 for his murloc pet. He was seriously considering taking him up on the offer. I said for that money he could’ve flown in and attended himself! The guy said that the Australian was in a line of work which wouldn’t let him have much time off. I wondered what kind of work he did where he couldn’t take time off but had $1200 to spend on a murloc pet. I hear in Australia they tend not to let you out of the country if you get caught for robbing banks.
