I'm guessing that the opening cinematic will be revealed on the 15th, and the expected release date will be revealed on the 19th. If I had to make a guess at the date, it will be close to christmas, like the Cataclysm was. That should give people enough time to get over the "bling" of Diablo3, and be just in time for christmas sales.

in my opinion they are to quick with releasing it. They did the same with cataclysm. it didn't took 2 years between lich king and cata. That might be the reason why cata became boring so fast and it will happen with MoP too.
The first month it will look nice and cool but after that every1 will get bored of it. Blizzard's intention to change the game a bit is not so bad at all but in the end.... they defenitily changed too much:( I really miss the old bc days.

@Lifestorm: The game has been out for 1½ year but that doesn't mean that they have only been working on MoP during this time. They have probably been working on Pandaria for years. Looking at the beta and new stuff, the game looks good

@Lifestorm: Well you don't take into calculation that wotlk to cata was only 5 lvls and not 10. That's changing alot and besides I think many said before cata was only the first half of the 3rd expansion ;)!

So, for how long exactly do we still need to play this patch? I've been bored with it for a long time allready. I thought Mists would surely come out during summer, but i am starting to think otherwise.

@Mellows: You have to realize not everybody is posting with his main char in PvE on the forums.
Seeing the DS-LFR only happened x2 i would say its her/his PvP char.

So... They're not gonna get their dead-line I take? So they let us rot with a same patch... Keeping it as bad as it is? Is this the tactic for the future? Since I asume when they see they could pull it off once, they'll sure repeat it. THIS IS NOT GONNA WORK (o yes what does it matter they don't care about their EU costumers, US>EU) It's been confirmed. Yes, if they wish not to recieve more complain posts than that are needed they realy should reconsider to listen to what people say, instead of utterly ignoring it, especialy if they wish to maintain their players data-base. They're being blunt and cheap with their current actions and I hope for them they'll see that this won't work a 2nd time.

As for me my game time runs out soon and from what I've seen and played on beta I doubt I'll come back any time soon. Currently I'm more attrackted to RIFT than to WoW.

Yours sincerely.

Don't Worry, with rumours of a patch 4.4 and patch 5.0 coming out around a month before MoP you won't have to put up with it for much longer!

@Zainstorm: they're most likely preparing the PTRs for 5.0.x so the chance of a 4.4 to show up from nowhere is minimal.

Got to be honest, I'd rather wait and be suprised when I actually buy the game, but then again I don't have to watch any of the thousands of recorded streams of the cinematic that will inevitably follow on Youtube...

Also "who cares GW2 soon" fanboys/girls... GW2 is not gonna kill WoW... Age of Conan was meant to kill WoW... Rift was meant to kill WoW... SWTOR was meant to kill WoW... WoW is like Charlie Sheen. Still standing, funnier than ever, and most importantly, Winning :)

Why all the "Who cares, GW2 soon" comments?
Why wouldn't you care about the game that is for sure gonna be better then other mmorpgs, just because new one is coming out.
It was like this with SWTOR." Wow killer, who cares about wow, swtor is here". But look now. Most of you were wrong, just as you are now.
