said by Caelharrad:Wow... quite a bit earlier than I expected, I would have guessed early November. Hopefully all the bugs are ironed out - I'd rather wait another 6 weeks for a polished product, than get the xpac early and have to go through multiple patch downloads as bugfixes are introduced.
keep in mind mate , the beta has been out for a long time now, and we still have at least a month or so more of it before 5.0 drops on live, maybe 3 weeks left of it at any rate, if you read blue tracker you can tell they are very close to happy with their numbers, they're almost snarky in some responses, it is funny. but even if they iron out what they perceive as bugs, there are always bugs no matter what, the err is human, to really fuck things up takes a computer.
