Burning Crusade bash fires up in San Francisco

World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade is finally out and one of eight of Blizzard‘s party bashes commemorating the launch of its official expansion to WoW reeled in a 1,000-guest line over at Sunnyvale, San Francisco in Northern California. Even in the freezing cold, anxious WoW adventurers filed in as early as Sunday night, hoping to be first of many fans waiting for the launch of the Burning Crusade and the big buy-out. Blizzard representatives say that the guest turn up has been similar in the European side.

The event finally kicked off on Monday, 11:45 p.m. with scores of fans ushered into Fry’s Electronics for a chance to get their own copy of the expansion with autographs of 15 developers present at the event, including producer Shane Dabiri and art director Justin Thivrat. In addition to the original copy and the precious collector’s edition of the Burning Crusade, people were also offered the WoW board game (say again?), strategy guides to Blood Elves and Draenei races, and subscription cards just to tickle the crowd’s Warcraft fancies.

But wait, there’s more: freebies included WoW-themed posters and stickers. Hopefully that should keep fans snug and warm for another winter or so.
