The weekend in Warcraft: December 1 - 2, 2007
Weekends are usually fairly quiet for World of Warcraft news, but on Sunday we had a flashy announcement: Blizzard's parent company, Vivendi, is planning to merge with Activision. The new company would be called Activision Blizzard, bringing Blizzard's success to the forefront of the corporate image. But while it may have been the biggest thing to happen this weekend, it's certainly not the only thing.
