no WWI?

What happened to the WWI this year? I was stoked to get some new D3 info before August, but it doesnt look like thats going to happen. Anyone got any info on the matter?

Indeed. Blizzard canceled the WWI sometime back in February or March, since they planned on "merging" it with Blizzcon this year. I don't know much else about it though.

Re: no WWI?

WWI'09 has been merged with Blizzcon'09. The event will take up the ENTIRE Anaheim Convention Center (as opposed to Blizzcon's usual 1/3). This has been for several reasons, most notably efficiency, cost, and the hypothesized possibility that Blizzard will reveal a new game that would be best appropriate to showcase in America (just as Starcraft 2 was revealed in Seoul, South Korea, and Diablo 3 in Paris, France).
