I actually had this same thought when they officially set the release dates. From what I hear, it was the publisher that pushed the date back, not Blizzard. They did this because they are releasing HalfLife 2 on the 15th and didn't want to release 2 big games on the same day.

I hope Europe beta doesnt end when Open beta America starts :P.As that would leave a good 2 months without WoW for me .Id say that WoW signups begin next monday on : 1St Nov.3 week Open Beta. Gives people plenty of time to get in and test the game and get hooked before EQ2 releases. Its all about tactics really game releasing.Beta Tested: Lineage 2, Ryzom, City of Heroes, RYL, World Of Warcraft European Truly Loved: World of Warcraft
ANd the person for guessing when OB signups begin is.... NEAS!!! *crowd roars*

I kind of doubt that the launch will be Nov. 22, as from what I'm reading and have seen, many components haven't been added in yet, such as most of the PvP etc etc, and if it already has it hasn't been put to a stress test at all.

Release date, and SHIP date are two different things.
IF IT SHOPS Nov 8th, Stores, and Customers who paid for next day shipping, Will Not get it till the 9th.
