The Las Vegas Convention Center website has confirmed the dates for the BlizzCon 2010. It still won't be till next year, but it's never too early to prepare and set your calendars, right?

Although Blizzard has always been one to decline from giving out any release projections unless they're damn sure they'll meet it, StarCraft II's 2010 launch seems to be firmly set in stone. Not so for Diablo III, which was most recently given one hell of a wide release window.

Just a week after the in-game pets for World of Warcraft were announced, one of the two variations has apparently been sold out, just goes to show how WoW-crazy some people get. The Pandaren Monk, listed for US$ 10 on the Blizzard pet store, has now been "sold out" in the United States.

Want a purely cosmetic pet for your World of Warcraft character? Well, if you have ten bucks lying around you can buy one. And this isn't from shady gold-farming operation, mind you. This is an official Blizzard-approved transaction.

World of Warcraft's operation finally resumed in China only recently, but it looks like Chinese gamers' celebration will be short-lived. Reuters reports that a Chinese regulatory authority has filed a cease and desist order upon WoW's Chinese licensing partner, NetEase, from continuing operations of the said game in the country.

Want to change the race of your World of Warcraft characters? No problem, now you can do exactly that for US$ 25. Blizzard launched today the new Race Change service, which, for all intents and purposes, does exactly what its name says it does.

Blizzard relaunched a heavily upgraded Battle.Net earlier this year with the end goal of integrating all of their games under one banner service. There's also another update in the pipeline, and to prepare, Blizzard is asking all World of Warcraft players to upgrade to a Battle.Net account by November.

While concrete details about Sam Raimi's Warcraft movie remain undisclosed, a possible hint has shown up on the ever-popular Internet Movie Database.

After the good news that the China server for World of Warcraft is now back up and running after two months of hiatus, it's time to get all patched up. Patch 3.2.2 has just been released by Blizzard, and we're giving you a sneak peek at what's in it.

After more than two months of costly downtime, Blizzard and Chinese operator NetEase have finally opened up the doors once again to World of Warcraft players across China.
