COVID-19 strikes again, this time Blizzard decided to cancel any public Fireside Gatherings, including official events to keep players safe.
On the bright side, players will be able to create private events and play during the pre-release weekend (April 3-6) from their homes. Those events will still allow early opening of Ashes of Outland packs, as well as Demon Hunter gameplay vs AI.
Stay safe, everyone!
Hey everyone,
In light of the ongoing global health risks associated with in-person gatherings, we are cancelling official Fireside Gatherings for the near future and disabling the ability to create public events. Additionally, any existing public events will be converted to private events.
We do however want individuals at home to have an opportunity to partake in the upcoming Pre-Release weekend, so we’ll be keeping private event functionality intact. Players can register their own one-person event, which still allows the early opening of Ashes of Outland Card Packs the weekend of April 3 – 6, along with a first taste of Demon Hunter gameplay versus AI.
Over the next week we’ll be implementing this transition of currently scheduled events to private status. Thank you all, innkeepers and patrons, for understanding. We’ll see you in the virtual tavern!
