BlizzCast Episode 5 Now Available In this special Worldwide Invitational wrap-up edition of BlizzCast, we briefly recap some of the events at
the recent WWI in Paris, and then move straight into a discussion with Diablo III Lead Designer Jay Wilson.
We quiz him on how the development team is evolving the classic series -- and then dive into a discussion
of some recent hot issues surrounding the upcoming sequel. Listen to the show now.
Latin America Launch Events Wrap-Up To celebrate the Latin American launch of World of Warcraft on Friday, July 25, we held a midnight signing

everyone who took the time to join us -- and if you couldn’t make it, we hope you enjoy this
quick recap.
