Odd not to have Blizzcon on WoW's 30th anniversary year. Seems serious.

I think you mean 20th anniversary year?

It is 30th anniversary year for Warcraft as a whole though:

Warcraft, not world of warcraft.

Warcraft release date: November 15, 1994

Although world of warcraft's release date was November 23, 2004 so the 20th anniversary is at the same time.

Oops, yeah, thx. Either way it's a big anniversary year for their core IP. Really odd not to have a big celebration. Even if they have no major new announcements, just make it a big retro-themed nostalgic event or something.
