    Something is going on - I don't expect Alpha today or even this week, but who knows.

    But your duty to Azeroth is not yet complete. More is demanded of you... a price the living cannot pay.

    Yeah, saw that too and I'm with you on trusting Marlamin.

    Keep in mind that doesn't mean Alpha isn't soon, it just means that change wasn't it.

    Bellular isn't neccesarily to blame for the initial hype, he likely got it from someone who missed out on context.

    The context is that Blizzard added a WoW Classic PTR product yesterday which apparently caused an update on the CDN descriptions for almost all other WoW products, including the one that was used for the encrypted 8.0 alpha client. That change got cherry picked as "Alpha configs updated" which caused the dangerous hype ball to start rolling out of control eventually leading to Bellular's tweet.

    Passing on half-assed news without trying to confirm them is still deplorable, though.

    Especially in a position where you can expect lots of people to further spread it.

    Not that professional journalists are much better, though.

    Well there's still hope. I wasn't basing my hopes on Bellular in any case. I just feel we'll get some news this week or next. I'm thankful we have people like Marlamin who call out the clickbaity bs others spew.

    It does feel like we should be getting something sooner rather than later. None of the usual signs have popped up yet, though.. so this week is starting to feel more unlikely

    Unless they're being purposefully careful now they know what we look out for thanks to 8.0, but I'm not sure that's the case.

    Could they be hiding something behind that WoW Classic PTR thing? It seems strange to me and in the last few days WoW Servers have been really unstable, like they always are when they tinker around behind the scenes in the last one or two years.
