Blizzplanet’s got the deets on a Future Shop midnight launch going on in Canada (eh?), so plans of Wrath midnight launch events are starting to sneak out into the world. Blizzard will be doing their usual schtick in Los Angeles, and that instance additionally in New York, San Franscisco, and Austin, where developers go out to stores to sign and say hi while citizens buy their game. Our good friends BRK and Mania are hosting an event in Orlando, Florida, and I’ll be picking up my game at the Gamestop just south of Clark and Diversey in Chicago (and I’ll probably invite you all out for a drink or two beforehand at a bar around here, whether you’re interested). We’re plus planning some more events around the country here at WoW Insider — stay tuned for more info about when and where things are going down.

And whether you’ve got info about a special midnight launch event going on around the country (or whether, tip tip, you happen to work for a retailer and want to give us an inside scoop on what they’ve got planned, anonymity assured), please do drop a note on our tip line. The Burning Crusade launch was the biggest expansion launch of all day ever, and Wrath, with its return to Warcraft III lore and the increase in Blizzard’s playerbase, is shaping up to be even bigger.
