    Blizzard's been claiming expansions will be coming out faster since 2009. They're doing their best but I doubt it's coming out before september.

    We had this exact same discussion about pandaria and people were convinced there was no way dragon soul would be The Raid for an entire year.

    Not at all. I speak for my group of players. The casual raider. For whom there is tons left to do. All of which is readily available to anyone who puts in the effort to do it. I have not completed the content. Not to the level that I am seeking and feel that rushing content release for 1% of players IS a bad thing. But in the same vent feel that offering dung spray painted gold and calling it bouillon, such as LF"R" and flex raiding along with the possibility of early cross server NORMAL raiding is also a bad thing.

    At this point its seem expansion only get out faster to charge my credit card more often.
    They fasten up the expansion releases but the content lull after the last patch seems to stay the same length.
    Whats my benefit then?

    And those people were right. Dragon Soul wasn't the raid for an entire year- Blizzard said it would be shorter than ICC, and it was. It lasted 10 months to ICC's 12. DS was a shorter raid. Assuming SoO will be the same length as Dragon Soul or shorter, Warlords will be out July 22nd or 29th at the latest.

    If it comes out in September, it'll run longer than Dragon Soul, rivaling ICC. I just can't see that happening.

    Kinda doubt it'll be a year of no content, I'd like to think WoD will be out by July

    Sigh.
    Ha... Mount Hyjal during Progression. Hit the road! :P

    With everyone in full blown alt mode and knowing people WILL come back, I doubt Blizzard's too worried about losing subs.

So ... it most certainly won't be a whole year without new content. And am sure a few folks will get into Beta soon as I'm predicting early Dec closed Beta starts .. mid Dec latest.

    source:

    Warlords Release Date
    Another MoP patch would delay WoD, so Patch 5.5 isn't going to happen. The entire team is working on WoD right now, so any more MoP content would slow down development.
    Q: "Typically after you announce something it is another year, but we are at Patch 5.4 now. What content do you have planned for between now and then?" A: "Any content we do now will delay the expansion by the same amount of time it took us to make that content. We are completely focused on making the next expansion and will try to deliver that as soon as we can, hopefully on a shorter cycle than players are imagining, but you never know, we will have to see."
    Q: "Typically that would be in the Winter of next year. Does that mean it is a goal to bring it in to Summer or Spring?" A: "Well certainly the goal is before that, but we'll see, it is very hard for us to predict."

    Taken from MMO Champs front page, straight from the Q&A at Blizzcon

    If youd research a little, youd realize that blizzard says they want to do a LOT of things, and it gets pushed back or dropped.

    Also, if blizzard expected the RELEASE of the game to happen in April / March, they would have had beta info going already and/or wouldnt be starting ANOTHER pvp season, which never lasts just a few months. They also would have the new 6.0 patch on the ptr for people to experience and bugtest.

    Are you insinuating that blizzard can handle designing and testing everything in the shadows and will just release it on a whim without player interaction?

    That would be the first time ever..since Starcraff 1 and Diablo 1 .

    Again, just because blizzard SAYS it wants to do something, doesnt mean it ever happens. In fact, it rare ever does happen. It always morphs into something else and/or a different time. Blizzard cant ever rush things.....EVER.

    Sadly, I'm seeing it happening.. I wish Blizzard could just drop WoD 6.0 around March, I just hated MoP I don't know I feel so tired and bored of it...

    Yes, we had better. Sometime before the end of February for a June or July release for a 4-5 month beta test. Anytime before April, though, and we'll probably see a launch before September 25th, meaning no full year of SoO.

    I still don't see the WoD beta, taking longer than Cata or MoP.

    I'm sorry I can't, I don't see many stuff besides the squish, garisson, and what model/animations problems of the new models for 5 months?

    Of course raid content would require testing but still...

    EDIT: I'm well aware that it's IMPOSSIBLE for there to be a release till september of WoD due to Diablo's release there's no marketing miracle saving you from launching near Diablo. They're releasing Diablo in March cuz they know they wouldn't release the expansion that earlier.

    Plus the whole new PvP season scheme sounds weird.. Bet you on 5.5 leading to 6.0.

    It's certainly not impossible to see a release before September. Diablo's expansion is launching in March, the end of a fiscal quarter. There's marketing precedent for launching something in the following quarter, April-June.
