The last GAMA Con in Las Vegas brought first news on this game:

First there was Warcraft - The Board Game, now there is World of Warcraft - The Board Game. Yup, Fantasy Flight is going to be bringing the massively multiplayer computer game to the boardgame world. The game will have shades of Runebound but will have more strategy. Each player gets a hero which moves around the game world, battles opponents, goes on a quests and gathers treasure. The game uses a programmed order system where you must plan out your move in advance. The game is touted to have a lot of player interaction. This is going to be a big box game, actually a very big box game - the box they showed was of the size of Twilight Imperium - Third Edition - and will include 200 miniatures representing the races and heroes of the computer game. The game is designed by Christian Petersen and Eric Lang and should be available in Fall 2005.
