timing of alpha of wotlk.. blizz conspiracy??

[Bena]

What do you think? is the timing of the alpha stage designed to
wet people interests (with the AoC coming out and all). I'm
pretty sure they knew there'd be leaks/spoilers.

Probably... like a carrot on a stick.

Not a conspiracy, just a marketing method. They released World of Warcraft to coincide with Everquest 2 release. And also they released TBC to coincide with another game during q1. Which game that was I forget.

Wasn't too long after Lotro from memory. Definitely not coninciding, but I remember backing off on WoW a bit to try out Lotro then being sucked back in with TBC release :P
