    Puhhlease...

    You really think they are into this petty schooling business? They will release it when it will be right to do so.

    Tomorrow is monday, its my work day, for others it's school, in other words people are busy, so chances are more people will catch on if marketing-content is released on this weekend prior to launch when people are free?

    Marketing 101, basic common sense, but fan bois crawl out from their rocks (mom's basement) with a plethora of excuses.

    As for your "muh lore!" yeah, well, maybe you are of the few that don't movie trailers released too, but who cares what you think since you probably watch them anyways.
    It's not the same as a movie trailer. WoW has equivalents of movie trailers. It's the expansion trailers and the TV "It matters" adverts.

    Activision-Blizzard really really really likes money. They doubtless have their reasons.

    It's part of the marketing content, nitpicking doesn't earn you any points.

    So your argument is that they did it once for one expansion therefor it is now a written rule that this has to happen for every other expansion. Do you realize how dumb that sounds?

    Its not overdue because it doesnt fit with the story atm you are just pointlessly whining

    Geezus... You can really tell how young/inexperienced a poster is when they spew this kind of shit... Ultimately nothing wrong with being young and emotional, and expecting the rest of the world to be just like you, but really... Calm down.

    It's a multi billion dollar company, not a bunch of whiny teenagers wondering why their fans are butt hurt all the time.

    Much like the Old Soldier timing, the chance of this being intentional is excruciatingly high, and about the only reason the timing would have changed, is some kind of technical issue. Even if they had a fan related reason, it's not because Blizzard is being 'emotional', whatever that really even means.

    Lastly... Movie trailers a day before release would be awesome... Getting hyped up, and having that 'hype release' shortly after... I can only dream ; )

    From a marketing perspective, video should have been released no less than a week to launch...instead now its like the day before n it's still not out..that's like releasing a movie trailer the day before a movie comes out..

    From a business perspective, since when has it been wise to punish your own customers, even if you feel you are right?



    I suppose we'll have to be satisfied with machinimas, since Blizzard are too...chicken?
    from 1:12:12 - best Azshara scene, when she doesn't even know what a demon is
    No, I think they are sitting on it because Azshara ties into the alliance leveling experience.

    Geez, there isn't a conspiracy, and Blizzard isn't getting "emo". They straight up KNEW what kind of reaction they'd be getting from the story well in advance -- hence the emphasis on the Old Soldier cinematic.

    No, I would be surprised if the Azshara cinematic is released before 8.1. It's not appropriate to release it now. Period. They've been marketing it as a Horde vs Alliance expansion for initial excitement. Only a small portion of the playerbase reads MMO champ as rabidly as we do or tracks everything on wowhead. We suspected Old God involvement, but not everyone will. Azshara shows up here and there in the storylines of both factions, but isn't at the forefront yet. She isn't the emphasis of the conflict. . . yet. It's Horde and Alliance beating each other to a pulp right now since they don't realize that there is a greater danger waiting for them. It wouldn't be appropriate to release it now. . . it would be flat out nonsensical.

    The Azshara warbringer short will be released when the content relating to the Azshara's raid comes out and not one moment before. So chill out. It will come, but right now, the story is about Horde and Alliance, not the naga or the old gods.

    You talk about age, yet the bolded part shows who is the kid here. This is a business. Giving people time to digest content and releasing continuous marketing-content equals more profit. It's the best method for business n customer alike.

    As for Saurfang, that's different, that wasn't announced weeks in advance like this Warbringers mini-series. Surprise-content is good too, part of hype, it's ok when its released in good time prior to launch.
    But like I said Azshara isn't surprise, except that it's not here the weekend which is the time you can catch the most customers since fewer are bogged down with work.

    Yeah sure they are big company blizzard, but they released last marketing-content at australia time when most of the world was asleep...being a big company doesn't mean they can't do stupid mistakes.

    Says here, Azshara is getting released this week, which is almost up...

    No. We won’t get it until it’s germane to the current story arc. We may not get it until just before 8.1.

    I don’t think people’s reactions had anything to do with it, OP.
