The Dec 7th (also known as 12.7) date just got a lot more credible, as it seems possible that Blizzard, in their typical easter egg fashion, may have been teasing us with the release date for quite a while now. There has been an announcement from High Tinker Mekkatorque about Operation: Gnomergan on the Under Development page for around 2 months now, and hidden in the middle of it we find this tidbit:
After all, Thermaplugg has eluded death for years to keep his reign over Gnomeregan; and with the fall of the Lich King, the last great threat to the citizens of Azeroth, the chance of any cataclysmic event taking place in the foreseeable future is "less than 12.7%," Mekkatorque's leading combat medical advisor Doc Cogspin purported.
Hmmm I wonder what the relevance of 12.7% might be....
