BlizzCon is one of the biggest events in the gaming world. It brings together enthusiasts from all over the country and puts them in a magical other realm full of demos and merchandise.

No one’s sure what Blizzard’s new MMO game will be like, but chief operating officer Paul Sams has told us that it’s going to be ’significantly differentiated’ from the company’s flagship title World of Warcraft.
