Blizzard to host Community Round Table at gamescom 2012
So, have you ever wanted to sit down with the people from Blizzard and tell them exactly what you think about their games? Well, here's your chance. Blizzard is hosting a series of Community Round Table events at this year's gamescom, covering everything from their involvement with e-sports to an artist workshop and focusing on the community and how it interacts with Blizzard.
If you want to take part, you're invited to email in and sign up, although demand is expected to be high and not everyone who signs up will be able to participate. You can sign up using the email links provided below, or head over to the official site for more details. I'd personally love to get to go to one of the MoP Features and Expectations panels.

What you'll contribute to the discussion
It's open warfare between Alliance and Horde in Mists of Pandaria, World of Warcraft's next expansion. Jump into five new levels with new talents and class mechanics, try the new monk class, and create a pandaren character to ally with either Horde or Alliance. Look for expansion basics in our Mists FAQ, or dig into our spring press event coverage for more details!
At Blizzard, we believe that "Every Voice Matters." To that end, we'd like to extend an invitation to our community to join us at gamescom 2012 for round table meetings with members of the Blizzard Community team, where we'll sit down and talk about our games.
In these meetings, you'll be able to give direct feedback on certain topics, discuss these topics with us and other players, and get our views on points that matter to our community.
We're anticipating a huge demand for seats at these meetings, so unfortunately it won't be possible to accommodate everyone. Therefore, if you'd like to take part, you should apply by sending us an email in English. You can do so by clicking the link that corresponds to the meeting you'd like to attend, below. Please be sure to include the following details about yourself:
If you've written game guides, run an unofficial fan site or podcast, streamed your games, or engaged in any other way with the community, please mention it! While these are not requirements to attend one of the meetings, they would definitely be a plus. We're looking to gather a diverse group for each meeting – one that reflects the diversity of the Blizzard gaming community itself.
Please apply only if you're sure you'll be able to make it to the event in Cologne, Germany. It would be a shame to see an empty seat when someone else would have loved to fill it. Please be aware that travel to and entry into gamescom are entirely your own responsibility. Information on tickets can be found on the event's official site.
