While it's technically the first day for most attendees, we've actually been here since Sunday, preparing for the big event. Yet, yesterday marked the first time the show floor was opened and we all got a look at <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/e3-2009">the new E3</a>.<br /><br />After last year's disappointing showing, the organizers more than made up for it with what is arguably the largest collection of shinies we've seen at any conference in recent years. To pay respect for E3 going back to the way it was, we've compiled this short video of what we saw on Day 1. There's some shaky-cam footage of the show floor, some great MMO screens including never-before-seen shots of <em>Torchlight</em> and <em>DCUO</em>, and of course, an <em>EverQuest </em>booth babe. You can check it out right after the jump, and be sure to look for another compilation video once the convention is over, featuring our favorite moments.<hr />

Unless you've been hiding under a rock somewhere, you've probably heard that <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com"><em>World of Warcraft</em></a>'s second expansion <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/wotlk/"><em>Wrath of the Lich King</em></a> releases this Thursday -- or more properly, Wednesday night. As our sister site, <a href="http://www.wowinsider.com">WoW Insider</a> has covered, there are Midnight launch events planned for both stores big and small -- <a href="http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/11/04/meet-wow-insider-at-the-wrath-midnight-launch/">including meet-ups with the WI staff</a>. Even 7-11 decided to get in on the <em>Wrath</em> midnight launch action, providing a one-stop shop for your snacks, Mountain Dew slurpees and MMOs. (Or maybe <em>we're</em> the only ones who think that's pretty cool.) <br /><br />Since this is one of the largest midnight launch initiatives we've seen for an MMO to date, we thought we'd ask; will you be attending a midnight release party for <em>Wrath of the Lich King</em>? Or did you just decide to order it online and save yourself the lines? For that matter, if you ordered it online, what kind of shipping did you go for? Next day? 'Save money and wait for the starter areas to clear out' shipping? We'd like to know!<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/11/10/the-daily-grind-midnight-release-party-or-no/">The Daily Grind: Midnight release party or no?</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 10 Nov 2008 08:00:00 EST.
