    Why won't Chris Metzen participate in panels on Blizzcon?

    For what I could see on the homepage for Blizzcon, Chris Metzen won't participate in any of the World of Warcraft panels. Any ideas why?

    He probably has a lot of responsibilities backstage with media, etc.
    You're not allowed to discuss conspiracy theories on mmo-champion, which makes me wonder what they're trying to hide.

    Who knows? Judging from the way people talk about him around here, he's not the most beloved of Blizzard representatives. Maybe he just doesn't want the fallout.

    Or he can go wherever he wants?

    upd. what? everybody loves him, He is goddamn Thrall.

    And he´s more of a boss, better to have the people that actually work on the things, like the dungeon team and stuff since they can explain and answer quiestions better.

    I found his name in atleast two panels:

    Friday: World of Warcraft: The Adventure Continues
    Saturday: Warcraft Movie Presentation

    He might be doing it, but keeping his schedule loose. Maybe he is just tired of doing them after a few years of being a key speaker. He could be giving some other people a chance to get out there and engage the fans and step into the spotlight for a bit. Maybe this year he is taking on more of the logistical stuff there or nothing at all. I wouldn't read too much into why he is or isn't doing things.

    i expect him to come on stage with a doomhammer and an alliance hoode like a douchebag.


    but to be fair, i'm just hoping he sits with the SC2 crew when QnA happens so we can listen to more of his awesome battlecruiser voice :3

    Because if it is time travel, he's gonna let Kosick and Co take the crap for it.
    You don't doubt a god. He is above criticism.

    This. Metzen largely handles the big stuff and lets Kosak deal with most of the lore nitty-gritty.
    Be seeing you guys on Bloodsail Buccaneers NA!

    He'll be doing the opening announcement and is on the Lore Q&A and the Movie Panel.
    He's probably stretched quit now and feels more comfortable focusing on answering questions for just one franchise this time around, since there are others equally qualified to talk about the SC and Diablo universes.
    Three appearances is still quite a lot.

    Media being a big one. I suspect he'll be on the lore panels, but a lot of his duties will likely be crowd mingling and press interviews.

    There you go, he likely very busy negotiating with the movie company to see if while the movie itself can be live action, maybe all the voices can be voice overs, and not just any voice maybe he personally can do all the voices in the movie.
