Vivendi has released a few new details on next week's special UK launch event for WoW expansion The Burning Crusade, which is happening at HMV in Oxford Street, London, from 11.00pm on January 15.
We already knew that World of Warcraft game designer Jon LeCraft will be attending, but it's now confirmed that he'll be joined by Blizzard vice president of business development, Itzik Ben Bassat - sounds like the kind of guy you might like to hand your C.V. to.
In addition, "Players who attend in World of Warcraft costume, along with the first members of the public through the doors on the evening, will be eligible to register for a special in-game baby Murloc pet. Costumed players will receive preferential treatment in relation to the Collector's Edition stock. Exclusive World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade T-shirts will also be available."

Copies of the Collector's Edition will be limited. The CE pack includes the game, a making-of DVD, a hardcover art book, an exclusive in-game netherwhelp pet, two World of Warcraft Trading Card Game card packs and three exclusive cards, a map of Outland mousepad, and a soundtrack audio CD.
We seem to recall the WoW Collector's Edition going for extreme amounts of cash on eBay. Not that we want to put ideas in your head...
World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade will go on sale at midnight at the event.
