i agree with perm, but i also must state that blizzard should have kept the whole thing under wraps (unless you went looking for it, so there could be beta testing) until they were sure it would only be a year wait, how long have we been waiting in salavating expectancy, three years now?
and its been a tantalizingly brutal three years at that

Originally posted by GaurdianKing Has anyone taken into acount the european beta test and howlong that will be for and how that would effect the games release.
The European Beta will have no effect on the release of WOW in North America. It will most certainly have an effect on the release of WOW in Europe though

Going purely by blizzards track record with release dates, I'll say it will not be on shelves in august. The earliest id expect would be a december release.
This place is full of tree-huggers and tofu fartn' faeries...
no chance for august. -still no hunter -still no talents -still not all the crafting -still no heros
theres a long way to go still. maybe end of the year nov/dec they might be able to do, but i wont put a bet on it "Its done when its done, blizzard doesnt do schedules"

It's been metioned in the WoW beta forums that heros will not be implemented for retail.
Also the EU beta may (or may not) speed up the beta process. more beta testers usually (not always) means bugs are reported faster. The EU beta is just for that as well as implementing the different languages into the game and for setting up and testing out the EU servers.

Most probably not, but yahoo game domain stated 12/07/2004. Probably that will be the date where this game is shipped. Then hopefully 12/08/2004 we all can have it in our hands...i really hope so..! Coz i'm so deperate for this game....
August? NO WAY IN HELL!!! If they release in august we would have another SWG catastrope on our hands cuz the game is far from retail status lots of things arent implemented and or balanced (Hunters....Racial abilities.... PvP balance....server stability lots of crash reports....that one exploit thats in game) So I doubt WoW will be released in August..... Im guessing IF and ONLY IF the game is getting released in 2004 it will be in late november early december. If not probabaly march of next year (Hope not >_<).
I wanna play WoW just as bad as you guys do but Id rather play a balanced bug free (well no game is bug free but major bug free anyways) game rather then a POS failure cuz I cant wait 2-4 months for it to be refined (*cough* SOE *cough* Starwarsgalaxies *cough*)!

Send them that question in larger font size, because they obviously don't read any email unless it's in huge print and labelled important or urgent in their mail program, so I recommend using CAPS just to be sure you get a response as to the exact release date.
If it's not in the FAQ then it's PURE SPECULATION. Sheesh I am sooo tired of seeing these WoW forums all over the web with endless threads about this stupid topic.
Here's a game that's more fun to play: Go to a nearby open field, tie a rope to your waist and proceed to run around in circles chasing the end of the rope.
yeah, people stop asking the damn question the game will come out probably November not sooner but will be out by end of the year so anyways stop asking the damn question
Originally posted by Arcanis I pre-release ordered the collectors edition of WoW from EBGames. They sent me an email stating that Blizzard has delayed shipment until November. I doubt that Blizzard will want the release date to slip past November because they really would want to exploit the Christmas market. I expect that open beta will begin sometime in late September to mid-October.
Pretty hard to delay a shipment when they have no release date for the game. All we have to go on is that they are trying to get it out in Q4 of 2004. Nothing more other than speculation. After all we all know how Blizzard is with setting dates.
