    I was expecting October also.

    Strange how someone with a claim to an inside source would repeatedly try to dismiss a 60 day window between announce and release in the few weeks before the announcement, despite having apparently already been informed of their timeline by said inside source, only for the announcement to come exactly a full 2 months before release. Hilarious!

    Only trying to dismiss the claim that people were claiming that it was a law or a that it was required by retailers that a public announcement was made 60 days prior, and used Apple as the "case study" to show it in action. I said Blizzard could or could not be taking this route, time would tell.

    To be fair and to fess up: I'm on record as saying mid-August (check my post history...it's there a bunch of times) so I lost out on the office pool.

    I gave up on that when they pulled the level 85 zone out of the beta entirely to be reworked. The more important thing I stressed a couple of months ago was that they'd get it out in Q3 which they're going to do.

    At the very least, it's good to know and can now make some plans about how to get ready for it. Onward.

    Late Sept to mid-October as I've been saying all along. Just early enough so Blizzard can say, "See? We said we'd put it out faster then before."

    The rate of the 5% buff increases in Dragon Soul should have been enough for people to do the math on it. That being said, it could still drag into early November too if Blizzard thinks they can withstand the crying.

    Fail.... >_< Blah, so much for my "September 18th at the latest" thing but at least I still have "no later than September" even if the 25 is barely that. Still a lot better than calling for November/December. <_< Still I was wrong enough even if it was only a week late, Blizzard did indeed stick with the ~60 day window.

Also correct me if I am wrong but is this the first time an expansion has been launched in the middle of a holliday? And how do they plan to handle the boss for the first 5 days. Will we just not be able to do him, which might anger those who only need this holiday, or will we be able to do him for 5 days and still get the upgraded loot.
    They could always just extend it a week and probably will at least five days.

    My thought is that the beginning of Brewfest will be centered around Chen and maybe some lead in quests during the pre-event, then after MOP releases, the remaining 11 days of Brewfest will be level 90 content. Leveling to 90 (or maybe even lower if they lower the level requirement) doesn't sound too bad to do in 11 days for most players. But I could be wrong...

    So... I have a few minutes to clear the air a bit..... yes I was told at the end of the Aug that the "GOAL" was to release on Sept 25th and announce before July 25th, After they had an "All hands on Deck" meeting. I was starting to get nervous. I didn't know EXACTLY when the announcement was going to be made though and it was getting down to the wire. but over the last couple days with the tweets and meeting yesterday, it was clear that today was the day. I know some of you do not believe me and that's fine, I'm ok with that. I know that will happen when someone is willing to try to share what he can when he can in the fashion I did. But I tried to point out clues to narrow the search, like eliminating Nov/Dec completely by using REAL clues and logic each most of you saw regardless too. I'm truly sorry if I came across like a jerk at times I didn't mean to, it wasn't my intention. but text being what it is and me HAVING to be vague because of my promise it came out that way.

    I do want to leave you this, I know it's not much and it might not help. but it's something...

    Let it be clear to every reader that we should take anyone who is acting like a whistleblower with a huge grain of salt and a healthy dosis of skepsis.
    100% agree. Be skeptical of me and of you, We don't know ANYONE here from Adam. NO ONE here is beyond reproach. So one else said it well "The Internet is the ultimate anonymity". Am I REALLY a 36 year old married IT Manager from Ridgecrest CA with a 14 year daughter who works for a Naval IT contractor? dunno. "looks down... looks over to my daughter and stepsons.... " yep... Do I REALLY drive a 2010 Chevy Camaro SS Special Limited Transformers Edition "BumbleBee"? maybe. actually.. yes I do. :P
    I've made a couple claims about myself over time... One I can not prove to you as much as I'd like to due to reasons. I'll deal with that. I'm a big boy. I shared some of my personal life here. Is it true? you don't know, but you didn't believe my first claim so why would believe that it be true as well? I could be a 15 year old kid from Kansas City?
    But the last claim here.... My Car.... I decided.. I could try to prove this claim in a way.. If it helps substantiate the rest a little bit for some then great.. if not.. then oh well.. I am fine...





    Very humbly,
    Bristae

    PS... It's actually my wife's car.... She's the muscle car freak in the family. lol But I do drive it

    I think this expansion will be stretched as they add more things to do at end game (pet battles, farm ville, rep for individual NPC's, possibly more in later patches)

    So Nov 4th, 2014.
