Extra 10 bucks I think for the digital version this time? Not bad, but I do think it's a bit of a hike.
That said, yeah, not worrying about the 'on or before' date. They listed that just as sort of the last-ditch 'HQ melted, devs have plague, we're being attacked by armies of rabid badgers, but it WILL be out!' date. They'll get it out late June-July I feel, assuming no actual disasters. (I'm pretty convinced of this since I think the higher-ups at Activision-while they don't really get involved in the development, I DO think they'd get involved in the shipping-will start to and lean the hell on them if it seems like it'll take them another damn year to shove something out the door and tell them to ship it the hell out the door, NOW. Can't say I'd be sad to see that, I think Blizzard might need a push this time to get something out on a sensible timeframe. They'll already be kinda late in June-July, just not disappointingly so.)
Hahahahaha oh god, just when you tought it couldnt get any worse.
An increase in price compared to previous expansions
Estimated release date 20 December (yes MAYBE sooner but beta hasnt even started yet and beta takes months)
Oh come on, this expansion was a pile of garbage since they announced it at Blizzcon. Barely any really exciting new feautures, no new races or classes, story that makes no fucking sense whatsover thats just trying to milk the succes of Warcraft III. Oh wait, new models, whoop-dee-fucking-doo.
But on the bright side, we might be finally breaking the ICC season record with SoO? /facepalm.
More content, more often.
I wish I could post trollface meme without getting infracted!
EU price is 60€ for Digital Deluxe which is normal. Thanks Blizzard!
12/20/14 what a disappointment. It will take that long for new content.
Well, I guess I'll have no problem paying extra for it with the 6 months of subscription fees I'll be saving.
I stuck around in ICC. I even stuck around in DS because of the annual pass. Not this time, thanks.
So that survey asking if we'd pay $10 extra for the expansion to get the "free" 90 was accurate. People said it was promised to us for free at Blizzcon and no way they would charge us an extra $10 for it. Where are those people now?
20 December.......loooool yeah gl with that, I hope for Blizzards sake they stick to the 'or before' part.
Can we get a real release date? There's no way i'm going to keep subbing for more than 2 more months with no new content.
Placeholder date or they're screwed.
£35 for UK too, that's £5 more, cashing in while they can? Pass.

It's odd we pay for expansions anyway, since we already pay 150 bucks a year. But 50 for an expansion? !??!
I also wonder why there are no post about the preorders going live. Will there be one? Maybe the price and the release timeframe will be adressed in it.
But guys...GUYS!
Does this mean I get to ride the super cool super awesome AMAZING blue Dread Raven Mount like....RIGHT NOW???In addition to a full digital copy of the game, the Digital Deluxe edition comes with the following digital items (available in-game once purchased)
So the normal version is almost 10€ more expensive than MoP's counterpart was on presale.
Not impressed at all. The only thing that seems to be increasing lately about Blizzard is the cost of their products.
I am one of the biggest Blizzard fanboys you might ever meet. If you read the tone of my past posts you'll see I blatantly defended Blizzard in every way, no matter how outlandish their ideas were or bad moves they were prepared to do. But now for me this might be the drop that overflowed the glass.
I don't want to pay more for something that might have even less content that the previous instalments.
Apparently the high price doesn't scare people away. battle.net is warmed aaand...
kaputt.
