It's a new year and that means another opportunity to play oracle and figure out what Blizzard's plans are for 2010. BlizzPlanet has gone ahead and tossed out some of their ideas (http://www.blizzplanet.com/blog/blizzcon_2010_-_august_20-21/) on what will happen for BlizzCon (http://www.wow.com/category/blizzcon/) this year, laying out their predictions and even speculating on the event date. As you might know, there was a bit of confusion stemming from supposed leaked information that pointed to BlizzCon 2010 happening in Las Vegas in July (http://www.wow.com/2009/11/12/blizzcon-2010-july-in-las-vegas/). That didn't go down so well with Blizzard, and the Las Vegas convention center later retracted its statements (http://www.wow.com/2009/11/13/blizzcon-2010-las-vegas-convention-center-retracts-statements/).
BlizzPlanet points out, quite logically, that Blizzard probably wasn't too thrilled with that. Even if they had planned to do it in Las Vegas, that kind of public relations misstep is a deal breaker. Besides, Eldorian from BlizzPlanet applies simple, sound logic to his sleuthing work and explains that examining the Anaheim Convention Center's Calendar of Events (http://www.anaheimconventioncenter.com/events.cfm) reveals an odd, blank date on the weekend of August 20-21, yet almost all the weekends of the venue are already booked. With Blizzard being the secretive bunch that they are, he figures those blank dates actually correspond with this year's BlizzCon event. It's a pretty cool theory. Read the rest of their predictions as well as a few of our own guesses after the jump.Continue reading Speculating on BlizzCon 2010 (http://www.wow.com/2010/01/07/speculating-on-blizzcon-2010/)
