Interesting order placed at our office this morning.

[NiceJazzhands]

Could be real - "World of Warcraft" appears to be misspelled as well. Could just be the photo quality.

[derphurrdurr]

These "leaks" are getting more desperate each time.

[Mayples]

Wasn't really a leak. I said I found it interesting an order was places at my facility.

[Marmot]

Assuming this is true it would seem that we are not going to see the next expansion until July next year at the earliest.

Which would be too late, and they'd be shooting themselves in the foot for the millionth time.

[Joey Ray III]

the text is distorted a bit, it says 'warlords' you fools.

[Travio]

Which would be too late, and they'd be shooting themselves in the foot for the millionth time.

They need, at latest, a late April launch of the expansion, or else a massive patch in between with content.

Has your facility had dealings with Blizz before?

[Tikken]

It's pretty clearly saying Warlords, not Warlocs.

Several letters in the text are slightly cut off and 'warped' due to the shitty image of a computer screen, just so happens the end of the d is one of the cuts /shrug.

Closely looking at the bottom end of the letter, you can see it curves up very slightly, unlike a c, but like a d would.

[Mayples]

Not Blizzard, but we have worked with Activison with the CoD franchise.

Don't get me wrong I think people will be well and truly fed up with SoO by then but if release some interim content between then and now it might not be so bad.

Oh, and OP I am not sure your employer or Blizzard will be too happy with this information being leaked and with your twitter in your sig I doubt they will have much difficulty tracing you.

[ramennoodleking]

Currently I work for a supply chain that orders and arranges for box art and cd orders. Please realize I am not saying it's coming out tomorrow, these things take quite some time to arrange, however this showed up at my distro box today for an order.

They want the order to go out by May and at the CD-R factory by June.

Btw, I used a cellphone to take a picture of the monitor. I can't hit print screen as the system doesn't have one. I used the iPhone paint app to mark out the red. I assure you that's a D not a C, it just showed up wierd because of image tear I'm guessing

I dunno if you can be tracked via twitter, or if your company has policies about disclosing information like this, but if you do I'd suggest not making yourself traceable with a twitter account in your sig.

Hmm... interesting. And I will give you that the date matches most expectations.

I'll give it a Plausible. Congrats, you're the first person to get anything more than a Fake from me on this expansion.

[ruuBEN]

people find the name, immediately make judgment that it's a fake because someone doesn't "spell check"

you would not only think they'd see the other characters, but some on people. you're telling me you've *never* taken a cell-phone picture of a monitor before? :l

[eschatological]

The picture clearly shows an "expected date" of May 13th.

For the delivery. It's quite likely we'd look at 2-4 weeks after that in order for them to actually load the disks.

So Late May - Early June.

[GoblinGraph]

If real then the shipping date give a possible release date window. Early June seem about right with develop window, probably see beta sometime in December. Just guessing if this is legit

[Deleted]

I'm liking this one. Hardly another badly photoshopped "leaked slide" is it.

Thanks for the tip, Mayple.

Although many on these forums seem to think that the next expansion will be released early next year I don't think that is possible and I have to say that I will be quite impressed if they can get out early Q3.

[Peso]

No official dates until it is official imo. Seen this all the time with speculated release dates by retail.

Oh my that twitter account is dead. I didn't even realize though it was there thanks!
