If we get bet in Feb, then for certain we won't get MoP 2nd quarter. They have never, and will never, get beta out for less than 6 months. Whenever the betaq goes out, y7ou know there is at least 6 months left before release. Simple as that.
Oh and they won't release a100 million dollar venture in mid summer. Sales would be devastated, and then they would get flak for MoP being a dud, which would lessen subs even further. They cannot afford to seel less with MoP than previous expac, so it will NOt, repeat NOT, be released during mid summer.
If they want to release MoP Q2, then we need beta before Christmas.
if we don't get that, then we will not see MoP live until fall 2012.
Simple. Check for the beta, then you will know when expac come sout.
