We've been dropping hints here and there over the past few weeks in minor forum and news comments replies, but AusGamers is officially heading over to BlizzCon, courtesy of Blizzard Australia, and in the spirit of utilising our hardcore (and handsome) community, we're asking you to let us know what it is you're most burning inside to have revealed from one of the world's most successful developer/publishers.
We don't fully know what's being shown (or revealed) at the event, but can tell you we have a stack of interviews lined up, and you can probably guess the three big ones: Diablo III, StarCraft II and of course, World of WarCraft will be on-hand, so tell us what you want to know.
AusGamers jets off on the 21st of October, with the event to follow almost as soon as we land, so you have a week to populate the Comments section of this news post with whatever it is you're wanting to hear from Blizzard - whether it's related to hardcore lore, tech, design or even business - if it's constructive, we'll ask it.

I risk sounding old here but if you could work a question in there about a Warcraft 4 EVER being made, I'd appreciate it. I still play Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos every week.

Anyway Crakaveli, it says your from the USA. You know nothing of our struggle!

Australian based WOW servers - many ISPs and game hosting companies have offered, why dont blizzard accept their offers? What are the figures needed in an offer (what do they need in terms of hardware and bandwidth)?
Mood lightening question:
Will Linken's Boomerang make a come back in Cataclysm? "Us Aussies love our boomerangs!)
(That should get a laugh out of them! :) )

id say the international gaming commitee, sitting in their crystal cavern with a big golden table, has something against australians with us never gettin any oceanic servers, games with half the stuff censored and over priced products.

Nah, seriously, i'm curious if they have more expansions for WoW planned. They probably are going to brush that question off with no real reply, mainly I want to know if they still have plans to do the Emerald Nightmare cos I just got done reading the Stormrage novel about Malfurion Stormrage's fight in the Emerald Nightmare and it was epic!
Also, give them kudos for upping the difficulty of Cataclysm and bringing some strategy and finesse back into pve, after the faceroll that Wrath became I'm avidly looking forward to it. Make sure they don't cave to pressure from people crying about it being too hard, keep it challenging!
Also, get them to give me a job. I'll work cheap.

- Will we ever see blizz games on steam?
- When will we be able to login to bnet without loading up sc2 so we can see who is online + receive messages?
- Why you c**** such f*****s?

Any chance you could tell us the names of some of the people you will be interviewing and/or their positions within the company? It would mean we could ask questions specifically for each interviewee.

Actually scrap that; the price would have been minimal because they already lost most of their soul a while ago. Since WoW they've been going downhill and assuming that all gamers are knobs that still live with their parents at age 30 and are more than willing to pay huge amounts for restricted nothingness (Starcraft 2 cut into 3 pieces, SC2 and D2 have no LAN, etc). Yet another company that I will boycott. I think I'm left with Valve and indie games now...oh well.

Thank god some of you are boycotting Blizzard, means less whinging d*******s I have to deal with while playing their games.
Edit: a few too many people with ODD methinks!

Because you know, Warhammer is so amazingly original and not derivative in the slightest.

Their employee benefits are excellent. The quality of working life varies though, depending on which dept you're part of. Also, Irvine's campus is supposedly better than the Texas facility. But that'd probably be due more to the Development vs Logistics/Support breakup.

I'm actually serious about my Rock & Roll Racing question :) Possibly an XBLA/PSN HD version would suffice :D
Another question about there older I.P.s, could we possibly see a 4 player Lost Vikings Game on XBLA/PSN?
