Notes

The Launch card back The Collection s Card Backs tab Some of the game s card backs Card backs are a feature which allows players to replace the standard design on the reverse of their cards with alternate designs. Players can hearthstone was created to reward players participating in Fireside Gatherings, although it can be earned without attending one. The card back is awarded by completing the "Fireside Friends" quest See quests which reward gold. For the spell card, see Quest (ability). A quest in Hearthstone refers to a specific action or objective that the player can perform or achieve in order hearthstone , which requires playing three matches against other players on a subnet, with at least three players in total on that subnet.

At the time of the initial announcement, 10 Fireside Gatherings were planned, all in the US, for Apr. 26th 2014. By the end of Apr. 26th, nearly 80 Gatherings had been added to the LiquidHearth and official site event listings. While predominately taking place in the US, nearly 20 other countries also had Gatherings planned, from Asia and Europe to South America. Around 40 of these were scheduled to take place on Apr. 26th, with most of the others spread out across the next week. In addition to these online listings, it is likely many other Gatherings took place, either advertised locally, or online through individual websites. Since any real-world gathering of Hearthstone players is considered a Fireside Gathering, a far larger number of less organised Gatherings may also have taken place, with little or no advertising.

Since then, Blizzard has continued to regularly encourage the organisation of Fireside Gatherings. This has led to a large convergence of Gatherings around specific dates, as well as a smattering of events on an ongoing basis.
