However, traditionally Blizzard has countered the launch of other MMOs with something equally enticing in WoW to deflate the sails of their competitors. Which begs the question what Blizzard might be up to on the first week of April when ESO launches.
It would be too hopeful to think that 6.0 would arrive at the PTR in the first week of April but I would speculate that would be a very big counter to folks switching over to ESO.
