On Thursday, May 1 the flood gates of hell will be open for the splurge of evil to escape. It is the task of RoT to slay the escaped monsters and to restore balance back to the world but be warned my fellow warriors, for the minions of hell have tasted their freedom and will not be slain so easily. In the halls of old, a menacing clan of giants takes refuge. Here, they have changed the landscape to better fit their lives and it is here they draw their stance. Led by their leader, Jim Joe Jack and his two younger brothers Sprinkles and Tiny the giants seek to protect what they have taken. Each of the giant leaders carries a hidden treasure that has the potential to unlock massive power for those wise enough to utilize them, while it also has the potential to hurt those ignorant of their majesty. Be brave, be cautious, and be vigilant my friends for if your not, the giants will have another ear to string around their necks.....
Within Harrogath you will find a torch that will lead you to the giant's lair but be warned, monsters await you as soon as you cross into their threshold. Be prepared and party up with those who you know can protect you.
Be vigilant as well, for you never know what mystic items the giants have in their inventory. Know that the giants are a very mystic race and have dabbled with uniques, sets, and rares from the beginning days and deserve recognition for their craft. Also know that they will defend those prizes to the death. Jim Joe Jack is no push over and will slay anything he thinks might endanger his possession.
This event promises to hold a bright future, and for those who show up it will bring delight, but for those who fancy to sit back and relax well then they can just say goodnight.........

A StarCraft sequel could be announced as soon as May 19 at South Korean gaming tournament
Although Blizzard may have little financial reason to divert its attentions away from its fantasy-based MMO cash cow, speculation during recent months points to a possible return of the company's classic sci-fi franchise. Reports coming from Korean sources indicate that a StarCraft sequel could be making a public appearance sometime this year.
Korean pro-gaming site Fighter Forum (translated) claims that there will be a beta version of StarCraft 2 coming out before the end of the year. Furthermore, the site cites Hanbitsoft, the distributor of StarCraft in Korea, as being aware that the sequel will have a new race and additional units.
Korea's apparent lead in information surrounding the classic Blizzard sci-fi franchise may be due to StarCraft's still-rabid following in South Korea. Professional matches against celebrity StarCraft players are often televised for the mainstream public, who seems to have a wide acceptance of pro-gaming. E-sports and broadcast companies would likely need to know of plans for StarCraft 2 so that they may make the appropriate preparations for the transition to the new game.
Predictably, Blizzard is remaining tight-lipped on its future projects, though the developer does plan to reveal a new product at the Worldwide Invitational tournament next month in Korea. According to another South Korean source, This Is Game (translated), Blizzard is inviting more than a hundred broadcasting teams from around the world for this announcement.
"We do intend to announce a new product at the Worldwide Invitational next month in Korea, and we appreciate the enthusiasm and interest in getting an advance look at what that will be, but players will have to wait until May 19th to find out more," read a statement that a Blizzard representative provided to DailyTech.
Blizzard, however, is neither confirming nor denying that the new product could be a new StarCraft game, but does promise that the franchise will inevitably see a return. The statement continued, "Also, we have a very strong connection with the characters and settings of StarCraft, and we do plan to revisit that universe at some point in the future, but we don't have anything new to announce in that regard at present."
The Blizzard Worldwide Invitational will be held at the Olympic Gymnastics and Fencing Stadiums in Seoul, South Korea on May 19 and 20.
