Sitting here after the opening ceremony at BlizzCon 2008, I feel much like a girl left alone waiting for my prom date to pick me up. While there is much in the way of excitement here on the convention floor, there is not much in the way of new information on our favorite games. Here are some things we learned from Mike Morhaime:

The newest Diablo 3 class is the Wizard, and the announcement got the entire place fairly vibrating with excitement. The gameplay cinematic they showed makes me itch to run up and play the game so I can blast skellies with lightning arching from my fingertips. We'll hear more about the class in the Diablo 3 panel up next.

Starcraft 2 will be featured in a tournament here during the convention. It's not RPG news, but it's still nifty to realize that people here will get the chance to compete in the game even before it is released.

If WoW were a country, it would be the 75th largest in the world.

We'll will continue to post throughout the day as we get more information from here on the convention floor. Some of the people we'll be talking to include WoW developers, and Diablo 3 gurus. We'll see if we can't get some juicy news for you.
