A
t midnight on September 25, World of Warcraft®: Mists of Pandaria™ hits shelves at retail locations around the world, ushering in a bold new age of exploration, and bringing heroes of the Horde and the Alliance to the shores of an exotic new frontier.

You can join Blizzard and your fellow Horde and Alliance on the evening of September 24 at 22:30 (CEST) as we celebrate Mists of Pandaria’s launch with the Digital Launch Event. This pan-European live stream brings together seven launch events across the continent, and will be broadcast online for free on our official channel at YouTube.com/Warcraft. Featuring insights from the game’s developers, spectacular entertainment from each location and much more, there’s no better way to be part of this momentous occasion.

Or is there? If you can make it to Paris, London, Madrid, Milan, Stockholm, Cologne or Moscow, why not join us at one of our launch events in person? There’ll be prizes to win, giveaways, live entertainment, music, costume and dance contests and, of course, the chance to pick up a Collector’s Edition and get it signed by members of the development team! Check out our teaser video and launch event site for more details.

World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria goes live in Europe at midnight CEST, but the fun doesn’t stop there. Mere hours later, North America’s launch takes place, and you can watch the action unfold at the event in Irvine, California. Our friends at Machinima.com will be live-streaming the North American launch party, where Blizzard developers will be celebrating the arrival of the expansion with players. The live stream begins at 9 p.m. PDT, so mark your calendars and watch it live here.

iablo III continues to evolve with Patch 1.0.4, a comprehensive update that introduces many new features and improvements. Level 60 heroes can now advance through 100 new, additional Paragon levels, earning permanent boosts to Gold Find, Magic Find, and core stats (Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Vitality) as they progress.

In addition to the all-new Paragon system, legendary weapons were overhauled to make them more… well… “legendary,” and the game’s difficulty curve has been further tuned. For example, Rare packs now do less damage, but normal monsters now do more damage, making the pace of the overall challenge more evenly measured. There are plenty of other updates as well, including changes to many class abilities to support build diversity -- check out the blog posts below for more info.
