BlizzCon 2010 Dated?

Blizzard's annual convention BlizzCon looks set to return this year as IncGamers has been tipped-off that the event has a tentative date and location set for later this year. As expected, the venue looks set to remain the same. However, Blizzard has since responded regarding the dates leaked today and asked fans to refrain from making travel plans.

Sadly, it was debunked. The same happened with the Vegas rumor. These are dates that are scheduled, but not secured.

It's nice that Blizzard responds quickly to this type of things. Fans usually go schedule flight and hotel blindly without waiting for an official response or a public announcement.

[Cogo]

So is this definitely not a real thing?

[Leord]

Well, we don't know that for sure. It could just be one of those things where the plans are set, but they are still holding them open just in case they can't get the right final act or the like...

I mean, the date could be this, yes. So no, this is not confirmed as a wrong date.

Regardless, it's interesting they are at that level of planning!

[Cogo]

I'm confused now...

[Leord]

Don't worry about it, they will announce ticket sales dates at least a week or a few weeks in advance!

[Redrudy]

No, it's not been debunked. Blizzard confirmed they've not made any announcement and not to make any travel plans. They have not denied it is on those dates.

[Nihilism]

Who cares when it's dated, blizzcon is a runnning joke, they announce games 3 years in advance, people pay hundreds to go...and then it's silence as usual as far as the game development goes. They should have blizzcon a week before a game is released.

[Leord]

Could still be the dates they are preparing for. At the very least it's confirmed we have a BlizzCon. If they have plans for it this early, perhaps they even throw in another WWI!

[kuangtu]

Don't know if I can make it this year.......time sure goes fast =(

[Cogo]

Did you make it last year?

[Cogo]

I went to 2007 and 2008, but missed 2009. I'm VERY determined to get to the 2010 one :P

[Medievaldragon]

Hey bright way at looking at it. They didn't deny there would be a Blizzcon 2010. Me so happy. Daboo.

[SCFreelancer]

Interesting. Blizzcon is always fun!

[Shayagor]

lol, since they don't have any good D3 or SC2 info they "leak" BlizzCon...nice way to keep up the hype

Yeah..kinda of bitter from the no news and non releases...bah humbug!

;)

[Leord]

If SC2 is out by then, or at least in beta, perhaps some juicy Diablo III rumours just "happen" to leak to start the hype :)

[Cogo]

There is probably some truth to what you are saying there. I mean, there are "leaks" every now and again, and this is the company that managed to keep both SC2 and Diablo II under wraps for YEARS...

Could very well be Blizz PR behind these little "leaks".

[theCHUNK]

It's a race - which comes first, BlizzCon or the beta!

[Cogo]

I might have to eat these words, but I do think Beta will come first.

I assume you mean SC2 beta?

[Leord]

I'd be very surprised if the SC2 beta starts after BlizzCon...

[Leord]

Meh, out of bubbles!

I am actually really excited though! :D

[Xulfxulf]

I like how Blizzard has found a way to delay even their convention.

[Letros]

Let it be MMOFPS, comon Blizz you can do it!

[Maticus]

I can't see they'll be announcing the new MMO, it's gonna be Cataclysm stuff, and SCII launch date probably. Maybe some D3 info.
