How about actual dates?
1 week = 7/28
2 weeks = 8/4
3 weeks = 8/11
4 weeks = 8/18 (blizzcon week)
5 weeks = 8/25
I vote 2 weeks, or 5 weeks if stuff breaks. They wouldn't release it the same week as blizzcon, and probably not even the week before. So 8/4 gets my vote!
since i have some experiance with how blizz works i know they dont want to have big workloads during blizzcon and other similar events.
They want as many staffmembers and managers as possible to be there.
Even so most of the staff is in europe (and i dont know where blizzcon will be but wasnt the last one in the US not long ago?).
Either way i am confident they wont release it DURING.
but 1-2 weeks before or the week after is what will happen to a high certainty :).
i wich it was next week though :D
Im guessing next week now!
Next week would be good, since I'm slowly working my group towards level 77. I have not bought flying skills or mounts for them because for one thing, I'm not going to be using them in Northrend until 77. And second, I'm not really looking forward to the 60% flying speed. :p Also, since I am leveling via outdoors quests and plan to do every last outdoor quest, I can almost certainly ding 80 before I need to visit Storm Peaks or Icecrown, which means I may not really need a flying mount until well after I ding 80. That plus the savings means I will wait as long as possible for 3.2 before I buy the flying skills and mounts.
The good news is that even if the prices were to stay the same, I still already have enough for the 225 skill, the flying mount, and cold weather flying. :thumbsup:
I have 5 guys who will hit 80 this week, and another 5 that will hit it in around 2 weeks. I have not gotten the flying mounts on any of them, so it will be the day after I buy them. so 3 weeks here.
I honestly think they'll do it for right after Blizzcon

*oh and my vote, 3 weeks for sure,my shaman sense is tingling.
Originally (back in April) I said August 4th, but now I say Tuesday after Blizzcon (whenver that is)
I suspect they have it planned for next week or the week after, that gives them time to deal with crashing servers and the usual bugstomp and queues before Blizzcon, but have a sliding schedule, that they can and will delay it until after Blizzcon if any issues crop up. They already said that they'd failed the EU server upgrades, which may have changed the release schedule.
I'm betting Icecrown is announced at Blizzcon, released in mid October.
I'm less confident the next expansion will be - but it's a long wait until the next Blizzcon, and I think we'll actually GET the next expansion before then.
I'm betting beta for the next expansion starting this fall, and an early spring release. Icecrown will not be enough content to last a year. 6 months is pushing it, unless Icecrown turns out to be a huge ordeal, like opening the AQ gates, or Magisters Terrace, with server wide efforts, new quests, dungeons, and something that needs to be unlocked to get to Arthas. Even with all of that, 6 months will be a LONG time to have no major patches.
Not sure Ice Crown will be the last content patch.. It might be the next patch that ups the Tier of gear/PvP season, but we still have other dragons to fight in OS, where the heck are they ? heheQuote:
