Cataclysm Release Date Leak

[superwowcat]

Unofficial post by Aphel of mmowned.com

The source is a model editor and coder who has very, very good info. He had the Wrath dates and the Cata build updates days weeks before they were officially announced. His credibility thus far has been excellent, especially regarding lore predictions.

This just in! We have information from a reliable source that Cataclysm will launch 73 days from the current date. This means that Cataclysm may be released on November 18, 2010. While this is not an official announcement from Blizzard, we have good reason to believe that Cataclysm will be released anywhere between November 14th-18th. This means that we could see Patch 3.9 in mid to late September.

Patch 3.9 will launch all of the new 1-60 content, the new class/race combos (except Goblin and Worgen), and a host of pre-events that will culminate in Deathwing's emergence.

Tune in to MMOwned for more updates!

Note that this is NOT an official Blizzard news release. This is speculation from a very trusted source.



I hope this pans out, Blizzard hasn't done anything/mentioned the live version forever.

inb4 the flamers. Although personally what your saying seems legit.

[Irony]

73 more days of leveling alts.

[Salicylic]

Sweet

[gunner_recall]

You will die in 73 days.

[Malorne the White Stag]

That seems like a reasonable release date. For the expansion, at least.

[Marooned]

I'm pretty sure even blizzard doesn't know the release date...

[Pie Lord]

We shall see. Doesn't seem all that far fetched though.

[stevematic]

Cool news if true

[Merrena]

i hope the patch thing is true...ICC is boring as hell

[MonsieuRoberts]

Sounds plausible, but I won't believe it because I don't want to be disappointed.

If you set the bar low, you can just walk right over it.

Blizzard has said before that the new race/class combinations will not be available before the launch of the expansion.

There is still story to be done on things like the Sunwalkers and the Dwarf clans allying again before the new classes are made available to old races.

No, there was a recent interview where they said they would be coming out with 3.9.

It was in Poland too.

[Moonky]

The actual release sounds possible, however there is alot of stuff to do and I do not think the 3.9 patch will be out this month. Was not even aware they were putting all the 1-60 content in that patch either..

Has 3.3.9 or whatever the operation gnomeregan/echo isles pach been ditched or is that 3.9 now?

Games are generally released on a tuesday(in America anywho) So according to your range of dates it'll release on Nov 16.

[Wilson!]

Right before thanksgiving weekend, nice.

Edit:Spell Check

[Negrido]

mmowned has been right in the past....
Cautious optimism.

[haxartus]

The pre-Cataclysm patch has to be tested on PTR first.
