    If they decide to cancel the physical site of BlizzCon (which I believe they will) they should definitely move it to a digital format. Record announcements, panels, and give ticket holders the ability to download demos of various games (like a Diablo 4 build). I would take that!

    1) it want be totally cancelled it may move to online only

    2) they can't wait till the fall to make a decision. I'd say no later than the end of june to give people and vendors time to adjust plans or make plans if its on. Also the convention center has lead times for cancellations etc..

    my feeling is online only is a strong possibility, things will be better but Con is approaching cold/flue season again, and stuffing 35k+ people into one location and tight spaces isn't smart yet.

    I would rather they take their time with Shadowlands and get it done right rather than get it out as soon as possible. There are plenty of other things to do in life until Shadowlands arrives. BfA is and has been a total disaster. We need to have a good expansion now again.

    How would there be a Cosplay contest? Could people just send pictures?
    That's what Kupocon did
    I don't play WoW anymore smh.

    The only way giant conventions or sports events with tens of thousands of visitors will be possible again is once we have antiviral+vaccine for the Coronavirus. I don't see that happening this year sadly.

    yeah I've got friends already saying even if it happens they don't want to go cause of it. I'm sure it will sell out but still but i think given safety of things its gonna be online only.

    Ham I think. It might be roast beef but because it's close to Easter I'm going to go with ham.

    Well depends on when the do the carving Blizzcon normally happens beginning of November so it's possible if they wait to carve until then it will be a turkey since it will be to late for them to carve a pumpkin.

    Only sensible choice would be to outright cancel it if you actually care about people. Even if we get over the worst of the current outbreak, it won't be eradicated and most likely not treatable by the end of the year. Until we reach the point of vaccine or a treatment we will keep putting out fires in the form of localized outbreaks that hopefully won't reach the current level again. Having a convention with a lot of people who at the best of times have questionable hygenic standards is a recipe for disaster.
