The development team at Blizzard announces that it wants as many college and university gamers as possible to host launch events for the upcoming Reaper of Souls expansion for Diablo 3 and that it is launching a partnership with TeSPA in order to actively participate in some of them.

An official blog states that the events that players can put together can range from a simple multiplayer meeting to a bigger celebration at a local games store, with contests and challenges a plus for those who can organize them.

The studio explains that, “We're partnering with the collegiate gaming network TeSPA to identify 50 events to support with real life Diablo loot. Selected events will be sent a Treasure Pack overflowing with goodies, including a Reaper of Souls Collector's Edition signed by the Diablo III team and a box of Reaper of Souls T-Shirts, mouse pads, Diablo figures, and other Diablo-themed swag.”

All those interested need to apply before the date of March 16 and Blizzard says that those who send in their requests early increase their chances of partnering with the company.

Reaper of Souls for Diablo 3 will be launched on the PC and the Mac on March 25 and the expansion will include the Crusader class, new areas, more quests and powerful enemies.
