Blizzcon 2007 Full Report
Report from Trista Olson Skewed and Reviewed
Blizzcon this year had obviously learned from their first convention and made huge strides to not only make the entire experience more enjoyable, but also raise the standard they had set two years previous. One of the first notable changes encountered was that Thursday was designated as Badge Pickup Day. Those who had arrived early and wanted to be ready to enter the convention doors the moment they opened were pleased with this option. Booths were set up alphabetically by last name and attendee
s simply had to find the right line and pick up their badge. At its height, the approximate wait time was only thirty minutes compared to the hours of two years ago while the convention proceeded inside. This way everyone could get right down to business at the start of day one and didn
t have to miss a moment. Another nice surprise was that when your badge was handed to you, the illustrious Blizzcon goody bag was right there with it. In Blizzcon
05, the goody bag awaited you at the Blizzcon store inside the convention, adding another line to sit through. This simple addition shaved off another hour of wait time inside the convention to allow those in attendance to spend more time at the exhibits. Right off the bat, Blizzard was impressing with their ability to learn from their previous mistakes.
