Here let me just leave this on the table for everyone to see for themselves. This is the timeline I was speaking of. It has been published on more than one occassion from Blizzard themselves on MMO Champion.

I understand it perfectly and also go right ahead and tell me why it is that HOTS didn't come out last year if the timeline was correct when it was first put up? The first timeline put Starcraft 2x1 at the end of 2011.. I don't see HoTS out yet, do you? I also see WoW Movie is supposed to be out at the end of this year... very doubtful to say the least

Ok fair enough so one product did not reach the timeline released. Versus two handfulls of others that did. Just saying do the math. Furthermore the timeline isnt absolute, and I never said it was. It even says so on the bottom disclaimer. I was simply giving a rebuttal to all of the folks that claimed there was NEVER a time when a release date was hinted at or indicated. And I proved that wrong.
All they have done is release the name of it so it most likely won't be out until 2019+
So good to be an ant who crawls atop a spinning rockCurrently playing: Bioshock 2,Far Cry 3
The timeline also indicates that D3 came out around Christmas and MoP was released a few months ago, guess I must have missed the big release....
Didn't even look at D3 as I only needed to see starcraft lol... As you said D3 wasn't even close. I don't think he knows how to read the Timeline lol
As has been said by Boubouille. Shoukyaku, you have killed many kittens by using said timeline as fact in this thread and most likely others.

No, that release date can only be the release of information on the game, nothing more. No MMO has ever come out within a year of announcement let alone 2 or 3.. It will most likely be announced at the 2014 Blizzcon and released 4-6 years later.
Edit: Basically its an announcement of announcement that comes before the announcement of the announcement of the release date, that comes before the announcement of the release date, that comes before release of the game. Try to say that 5 times fast lol

Didn't they start work on it when the burning crusade was release, when those developers left to work on their new MMO (that's where we get the A and B team stuff from)? I would say they might talk about it at Blizzcon 2013 and maybe release it in 2016-2017. Based on that unconfirmed leaked release chart though it seemed like they wanted to release it at the end of 2013, so it could even be out by 2014. But Blizzard isn't good at releasing new games in a timely matter so 2016 seems good. Gives them time keep people subscribed to WoW while they release the next few xpac (maybe up to 100), then try to get people to play their new MMO.
It'll come out when the dollars stop streaming in through wow.
