About my own prediction; I was gonna say June, cause that's exactly 1,5 years after Cataclysm launched (they have a goal of more frequent releases, aiming for 1,5 years). But only 2 months of beta testing and then the pre-event, together with the fact that Diablo 3 releases May 15, I think not. And then I think they will keep July sacred, as it's the big month for taking summer vacation and going away in Norway. Norway counts right? We have 5 million people living here damn it. :) So I went for a random Tuesday in August. It's always Tuesdays. But August, that's 5 long months away... I hope I'm wrong and it's June after all. :) At least I hope the guys at The Instance is wrong!
Give me your predictions and I'll add them. :)

I say Oct. 2nd. I agree it's going to be on a Tuesday and that's the start of the 4th business quarter. I think releasing it before the second quarter ends is too soon and they won't do it right smack in the middle of summer when people will be outside and off doing other things. I'm probably way off. I'm wrong and they do it sooner that's a good thing lol!
ReplyDeleteI really hope you're wrong. :-)
DeleteI heard the book is releasing August so my guess is late August/early September. Fits in with your theory as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the prediction Jaedia. :)
ReplyDelete7th of July!
ReplyDeleteI think that gives enough time for the beta as well as not being too far away. I can see sept-oct, that would give us 9-10 months of DS... no thanks... lol
Thanks Quelys, adding you. :)
Delete2nd of August! Blizzard loves me and my birthday xD
