Now that 3.2 is out and before anyone says anything at Blizzcon, When will the next BOXED EXPANDSION come out? Any ideas on the theme?
My guess May 2010 and it will be the downfall of Arthis

Are you talking about Icecrown Content Patch or the next actual purchased expansion?
<.< 3.2 is out already? i should really logon more often....
but id say maybe late 2010, early 2011. gives a could chunk of time. now for arthas, id say probably 3.3 or maybe 3.4 (depending on what other crazy shit they may decide to throw in).
I'd say late 2010 too, but you know what? I said 3.2 would drop around Oct - Nov so really, I don't know shit when it comes to guessing,
Some historical dates on expansions:
BC announced - October 05
1.11 - June 06 (Naxx, last classic content patch)
BC released - January 07 (+7 months, 15 months since announcement)
2.1 - May 07 (+4 months)
Wrath announced - August 07
2.2 - September 07 (+4 months)
2.3 - November 07 (+2 months)
2.4 - March 08 (+4 months)
Wrath released - October 08 (+7 months, 14 months since announcement)
3.1 was April 09 (+6 months)
3.2 was August 09 (+4 months)
Observations:
- Content patches look like they're generally around 4 months apart
- Both expansions came out 7 months after the last content patch
- Expansions came out 14/15 months after their announcement
From this, my guess are:
- 3.3 will come out in December or January (4 or 5 months after 3.2)
- 4.0 will come out 14-15 months after Blizzcon (August 09 -> October/November 2010)
- There will be a 3.4 content patch with something in it around April (3-4 months after 3.3, 6-7 months before 4.0)
summer or fall of 2010, depending on when starcraft 2 part 1 ships
Blizzcon is either gonna be a huge announcement for the next wow expansion, or the announcement of the release date of starcraft 2. That's my prediction. I think there's a few more content patches left in Lich King, hopefully one or two more before we down Arthas. My guild has just gotten started in Ulduar, so it's not like we're itchin for new stuff just yet. At least the 3.2 token system will make gearing up a bit easier.
We still have the obligatory troll patch with Zul'drak/Gundrak.
let's not forget blizzard has an unannouced MMO. will they announce it in Blizzcon? NO, it is still in very early stages.
what will Blizzcon be about then? massive information about Starcraft 2, diablo 3 and MAYBE WoW's new expansion (not sure about the latter).
Yea I belive your right :DQuote:
