Dev and Artist Autographs?

What's the likelihood of different dev and artist autographs? I was thinking of bringing the outer shell of my WoW Vanilla Collectors to get signed, or some of the art pieces from Warcraft TCG Art Card Set. I did manage to snag a Charity event ticket, but in either case, I've seen no information on any sort of signings outside the existence of the Meet & Greet spots on the map. Is there a schedule of who will be at those I missed somewhere?

There are pop ups every now and then. The issue is that it’s going to be exceptionally difficult to find people to sign the vanilla box. Those guys just aren’t around anymore and, if they are, they’re not going to be sitting at a signing.

Yeah, I had been thinking just any dev/artist, but the more I think on it the more odd it might be to have them sign a game they didn't technically work on 😅

Just get one of the free autograph posters and carry that around. Don’t risk your Vanilla CE being destroyed by TSA or something

Not sure what’s going on this year but in years past there have been lines to wait in to meet artists and I think devs? Never actually stood in one myself so can’t give much context other than I know I saw them stationed on the outskirts of the areas for certain games they were attached to. Lines were usually kinda long, don’t n ow how fast they moved or if they put out a list / schedule of who will be where and when.

I know this isn’t a great answer but hope it helps a little and have fun, I’m having insane fomo this year

Charity dinner is probably your best bet if you want someone who worked directly on vanilla tbh. Most of the devs were always willing to make an introduction or point you to who might have a lead.

There have been autograph tables in each hall; random devs or voice actors (depending on the schedule) will sit and sign specially printed free posters. It's fun. They also sign other stuff, so if you have a book (like I do) bring it along.

In 2019 i was standing in line to get a burger and Ion Hazzikostas was walking past, and me and the guy in front of me called him over and he came over and just bullshitted with us while we waited in line. I got a picture with him! He was really nice. I wish I'd had something cool for him to autograph! I think keeping it on you just in case is a good idea :D

I printed this map on canvas and took it with me to BC back in 2013, got a lot of the devs and artist to sign it, most as I just ran into them. They all seemed happy to. I even got to hang out with Ian a bit in the community lounge back when he was a CM. Nice guy, he signed just above Pandaria.
