In just over a week, BlizzCon 2013 will be unleashed upon the mortal realm of Anaheim, California. Whether you're joining us in person at the convention, turning in with a Virtual Ticket, or following along online, it's certain to be a weekend to remember!

Over the course of the two-day convention, we'll be hosting several panels about Diablo III and its upcoming expansion, Reaper of Souls, including an open Q&A focused completely on the game's story and lore. The Q&A is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. PDT on Friday, November 8th, so be sure to mark your calendars!

In the meantime, we know there are a lot of players who enjoy exploring the history of Sanctuary to its finest depths and would love to hear more about what topics interest you. For our latest community question, we want to know:

If you had the opportunity, what single lore or story question would you ask our Diablo III developers about Reaper of Souls?

Are you curious about Malthael's motivations? Do you ever wonder what may have transpired within the Angiris Council after the Prime Evil was defeated? Perhaps you'd like to learn more about the Crusader's background, or what lies ahead for Lyndon, Kormac, and Eirena?
Leave a comment below to let us know!

Over 30,000 Diablo III players around the world participated in last week's "Choose Your Weapon" poll, and today we're excited to share the results. Taking an impressive 33% of our global vote, the Legendary weapon we'll be crafting alongside our community is: a one-handed sword!

A big thanks to everyone who voted, posted, shared, and tweeted. This is only the beginning, though. We'll be kicking off another community vote next week, so be sure to keep an eye on diablo3.com for Design a Legendary: Part 2!
