BlizzCon 2014 will be coming up in just a couple of weeks and Blizzard wants to make sure you buy in. You can go to the event in-person or simply buy an e-ticket which grants access to live coverage, but Blizzard does not discriminate! They are offering the same rewards to both ticket types. Though we think experiencing BlizzCon live and in the flesh would be pretty amazing, that is besides the point.
In World of Warcraft, you will be gifted with a 'Grommloc' pet. Designed to look like a baby murloc version of Grommash Hellscream, this appears to be a fun little addition to your inventory, provided you are even into the whole pet thing.
Here it is, in all its murloc glory:
In Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft, you will get access to the BlizzCon 2014 card back. So far, new card backs have only been available to players who have made it to Rank 20 or Legendary in each ranked season, so this is a welcome bit of variance.
In Diablo III, you will get access to a number of new outfits inspired by World of Warcraft. This seems smart, given that they will function as both outfits and valuable marketing material.
There will also be new portraits and a decal available within Starcraft II as a reward for buying into a BlizzCon 2014 ticket. While this might not seem like a big coup, it is great to see Blizzard still supporting its 2010 real-time strategy release.
