World Of Warcraft: Blizzard's Opening Night Coverage

Blizzard has some images and a little piece up about The Burning Crusade's opening night. There are some pretty funny pictures in there - crazy what some people will do. Check it out it's pretty interesting.

This past Tuesday, January 16, 2007, months of anticipation came to fruition for devoted World of Warcraft players around the world -- especially for the ones waiting in line at The Burning Crusade midnight-opening events. At the stroke of midnight, thousands of dedicated soldiers of the Horde and Alliance -- as prepared as ever -- were finally able to acquire their copy of World of Warcraft's first expansion.

Fry's Electronics in Fountain Valley, California was the setting for one of several midnight events where members of the World of Warcraft development team were present. The line stretched around the outside of the warehouse-sized Fry's building and into the bone-numbingly chilly (by Southern California standards) January night. Similar scenes took place at two other Fry's developer-signing locations -- one in Anaheim, CA and one in Sunnyvale, CA.
