We’re pleased to announce that Blizzard Entertainment will be attending Dreamhack Winter 2009, the world’s largest computer festival, which is taking place from 26th to 29th November in Jönköping, Sweden.
Dreamhack attendees will be able to visit the Blizzard booth to take part in various competitions and contests, and also to play both StarCraft II and World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.
You can find out more about Dreamhack Winter 2009 at http://www.dreamhack.se/dhw09 .
We look forward to seeing you there!
Indeed, I've moved it to avoid further complications.
Q u o t e:
edit: the page works, he probably had his . too close to the url :)
So, who from the boards will we be seeing at Dreamhack Winter this year?
Q u o t e:
I won't be there sadly. I do live in sweden, but it still cost alot :( Also a general question that might benefit the others.
Are you able to be in these competions if you only have a "visitor ticket"? And are also able to play cat and starcraft with this? Or do you need your own computer? :D
EDIT: Ok, I read the comments on dreamhack. So I guess you can have it all, if you have a "visitor ticket(oneday ticket) and a "event ticket"? :)))))
Yep, as you edited in, there's no need to bring your own PC to try out Cataclysm and StarCraft II. Everyone's welcome to come by our area and get some hands-on experience with them both.
Q u o t e:
I'm so going!
One question, when will you be able to play Catcalysm? Any specific day or? And can you do it even if you are only there for the day?
We are there throughout the event, and to my knowledge you will be able to try both Starcraft II and Cataclysm the whole time while we are there :-)
[edit] Just to clarify: We are there from Thursday to Saturday, but our booth is not open 24/7 (Don't worry though, we will be there most of the time).
Also, on a slightly off-topic matter, I would be up for exchanging the occasional high-five of awesomeness if anyone is interested :-D
Q u o t e:
Vaneras: http://i48.tinypic.com/2eydoar.jpg
Awesome :-D
I'll be there. Vaneras also, and the ever-blue-ball-of-light-casting Thundgot also!
Q u o t e:
The Starcraft 2 Blizz employees were extremely friendly, when i won the SC2 tournament at dreamhack last winter they asked me alot about how they could improve the game etc, i really didnt think they would ask so many questions about the game.
Are the WoW Blizz Employees equally friendly ? :)
We are all friendly ;-)
Smiles and sunshine for everyone... and high fives!
Xordiah will be there too. :)

The gates of awesome already opened! Come and say hello! ;)
Q u o t e:
When are you opening the gates of awesome?
What did you think of it? :-)
Q u o t e:
Im already here at dreamhack and i have alrdy play´d cataclysm :):)
And where were the high fives?!
Q u o t e:

/disappointed
Q u o t e:
And where were the high fives?!
/disappointed
Indeed :-(
The lack of high fives is most disturbing!
Q u o t e:
How many of you forum GM's are here at dreamhack? :3, Been sleeping some now, And i'm just waiting on my friend and we will go to the dreamexpo and find the blizzard part :p.
Will be fun :D.
Thundgot, Ancilorn and myself are here at Dreamhack :-)
Xordiah is here too, but she usually lurks on the Battle.net forums.
The one with their back to you is Vaneras, and Thundgot is in the background. Ancilorn is the tall skin-and-bones chap. ;-)
Q u o t e:
So..Who is that? :D, I like his funky hat, And who is the other guy at the left of him? On the other side of the table!
So Conradiminja, did you get a chance to play Cataclysm and if so, what were your thoughts? :-)
Q u o t e:
Oi Vaneras? I was just at the blizzard corner, and did take a ninja photo of 1 of the blizzard guys:

So..Who is that? :D, I like his funky hat, And who is the other guy at the left of him? On the other side of the table!
will try to be a ninja photographer and get all of you later :). Are you the guy with short hair? :P, or are you the guy like sat close to the cataclysm computers with a computer in the corner?
The guy with the funky hat is me, and the one on the other side of the table is Thundgot :-)
The guy with the short hair who was sitting at the table near the cataclysm computers is Ancilorn. We take turns sitting at that table though, so you might find me there next time you show up :-)
Shhh! That's a secret! =S
Q u o t e:
Is it voluntarily or is it the good ol' table tennis tournament in the lunch room that decides?
Q u o t e:
Sorry for not high-fiving you when I was there, want me to run up again and do it?
We close the booth for the night soon, but you should most certainly come back tomorrow morning after 10 AM to exchange a high five of awesomeness :-)
I am shocked that high fives are not more popular in Sweden ;-)
The guy was me, the girl would have been Xordiah all the way from the Battle.net forums.
Q u o t e:
BTW which one of you was it that I was talking with about couldnt find where to find the marine shield upgrade? :P
the girl and guy at the table 20 min before closing?
Hej! I'm glad I could get your Marines stocked up to the eye balls with shields of AWESOME. ;)
\o/ Hi5 received!
Q u o t e:
anyway expect me to come and high five everyone of you tomorrow^^
Q u o t e:
\o/ Hi5 received!
o/
We're here 'till 10pm!
Q u o t e:
At what time are you leaving? I was up there just now but didnt have the heart to interrupt your race.. Ill be back!
So, someone claimed hi5s from Vaneras and myself about an hour ago, and has yet to announce this fact here. I call shenanigans! Well, it's either shenanigans or coincidence and I'm going with the former.
MOAR HAND SLAPPINGZ PLZ.
edit:
And yes, postings are occurring from the PC that is not with the Cataclysm or SCII machines.

edit:
I'm not Vaneras (go figure) but the booth is still pretty full, but not overflowing like it was earlier. It's a little calmer. :)
Q u o t e:
Vaneras, how much people is there at the computers atm ? :o, And how do you post? do you do it from that computer in the corner?

/cry
Q u o t e:
I hi5ed all of you, vaneras, the shorter guy but not the tall one ;<
And the Murloc plush? :D
Q u o t e:
//Rizzler, The guy with the orange Dreamhack Shirt
Just wanted to thank all of you guys who came to our booth to hang out and try our games, and of course a special thanks to everyone who slapped some awesome high fives :-)
I hope you all had a great time, I know we did :-D
I hope you all had a great time, I know we did :-D
If you can post on the battle.net forums, you should do just that with such an idea. :)
Q u o t e:
I found a solution to the marine shield problem and I'm really amazed that it is not in the game already.
http://forums.battle.net/index.html?sid=3000
If not then feel free to drop the idea into our SCII board here in the WoW forums.
:) The pleasure was all ours, and we too look forward to shootin' some Zerg in the coming months!
Q u o t e:
Also it was GREAT meeting and talking with you guys and I can't wait to play this game when it comes out ^____^
