| reply to pwrtoppl And background downloader data isn't even available yet. The first big push usually comes out several weeks+ before the patch actually drops.
At the earliest (unless they deviate from how they currently do things, unlikey), we might see it in time for Christmas. -- How lucky am I to have known someone who is so hard to say good-bye to. |

Yea, I said it.
Jan 5, 2010.
As stated before, they didn't release anything for the downloader yet, not even the art work. And may I add that Shaman tier 10 isn't even finished yet! It can't even be datamined because it doesn't exist.
I think this patch has a long way to go PTR wise.
edit 2: however, it would not surprise me if there was an early December release date, between Thanksgiving and Christmas. If it isn't released by the 17th, it won't be out till 2010. -- Whats smells like blue? |

  The WeaseL Premium join:2001-12-03 Minnesota | "In the coming weeks" is such a vague and grey term. In the coming weeks could be two weeks, could be six weeks. -- How lucky am I to have known someone who is so hard to say good-bye to. |

| reply to pwrtoppl They're supposed to give 2 weeks notice before an arena season ends. If they release the patch before the end of the season it will really screw up the season so I doubt that will happen. I voted Dec 15th but I wouldn't be surprised if it's 2010. |

The current arena season started September 1st. Season 5 was 17 weeks and season 8 was 18 weeks. It's been 9 weeks, so we're only about halfway through this season.
I vote 2010 as well. -- -thrillhaus |

1 edit | If it isn't released in the beginning of December, it won't be released until 2010.
My guess is based off past actions taken by Blizzard Entertainment in regard to patches.
Edit: I remember when the BC preparation patch, patch 2.0, came out during the first week of December 2006 and introduced the new honor system. Played non-stop steamroll AB with a premade all Christmas Break. Burning Crusade then released in January 2007.
Also -- didn't they push back 2.3 to December because they didn't want to deal with the maintenance a major content patch required during the Thanksgiving holidays? I seem to recall that being the excuse when people had been asking "Where's 2.3?! The background downloader started a month ago!" -- "The key to flying is falling and not hitting the ground." |
