Still over a year to wait

Liber8or · 06-09-2009 1:24pm

People will still be playing that game in 2010? Infact, people are still playing WoW???

Joneser · 06-09-2009 1:42pm

Lol, well i quit playing until the summer as im in uni but if the expansion isnt out before the summer i might no be playing it until summer 2011, and by then i prob wont want to go back to it, well...so long wow

11 million i believe.

Nehaxak · 06-09-2009 4:34pm

I wouldn't believe that figure of 11 million

Wasn't there something going around about their subs dropping off by 6 million of something after the debacle in Asia ?

I'd think a more realistic 3 million active paying subs would be more likely, that's still huge but it's not 11 million.

Nehaxak · 06-09-2009 4:35pm

Oh, and a whole year to wait for the new expansion ? :eek:

Let's hope Aion fills the void until then.

Kiith · 06-09-2009 6:26pm

It's definitly not still 11 million, but its still insanely high.

Notorious · 06-09-2009 7:04pm

Woah! That's a hell of a long wait for an expansion. They are re-vamping most of the game I suppose though... I can only presume this early announcement was to try and keep as many of their current subscribers as possible. I can see a lot of people moving from WoW with so long to wait for a sizeable amount of added content.

Psycopat · 06-09-2009 7:40pm

I'd be very surprised if that was the release date btw, im expecting next spring to be more likely as if its not for over a year we will be left with very little to do. Icecrown isnt gona keep us busy that long.

DarthWraak · 06-09-2009 10:08pm

I think it dropped to 5 million, but thats still awesomeness.

And release date for Cataclysm? My god give us Arthas first! More than likely it will be the B-team that develops the Icecrown raid. Who knows, maybe 3 worms will be the first boss! :pac:

][cEMAN** · 07-09-2009 6:19am

Probably a giant dog that does a ****, that splits up into worms that you have to kite around. If they come back to the dog, and the dog eats its own ****, it'll regain health or enrage.

Thanks God for this, at least now I have some chance of getting throught the WotLK content!
I'd imagine we'll get some content patches in the meantime.

EDIT: just checked wow.com, that date may only be a placeholder?

just as well. if i do sign on id rather like to explore a bit before everything gets turned upside down, molten doom raining from the skies, and all the shullabalooza.

wouldnt it suck to be a n00b - youre off harassing a crag boar when suddenly fire and brimstone come shooting out of the earth.

Dustaz · 07-09-2009 5:46pm

Are you all on crack?

Bend over, drop your pants and pull a release date out of what you find behind you. That release date will be about as accurate as any online retailers guestimate.

Who knows how long it will take. As someone said, Icecrown is still to come and that will be a very sizable content patch (BTW, its not the B team thats working on that. The same guys who do the expansion have been doing that content patch - they showed some FMV of the bosses at blizcon)

TheDoc · 07-09-2009 6:46pm

Man where you being hiding?!?!?!

I'd put my money on April 2011

Overheal · 07-09-2009 8:02pm

Get back soon

m5ex9oqjawdg2i · 08-09-2009 11:46am

Don't believe in that too much, it's just speculation. +hits to his site...

mayordenis · 08-09-2009 5:19pm

weren't all the early murmurs saying they expect it early 2010 with even slight potential of seeing it this christmas (as wow's attack on aion) I dunno but would expect it sooner tbh.

Psycopat · 08-09-2009 8:41pm

Wont be this christmas because icecrown aint out yet and that will take a while. However i would expect it around the end of spring.

Overheal · 08-09-2009 10:34pm

well do you think theyd surprise it on people? I mean its like the apocalypse: we can all guess, but none of us are really sure when its going to be

It'd be great to log on one day to suddenly find out hey, thats my house, and its on fire...waiiit a minute..

Psycopat · 09-09-2009 12:02am

Im sure they will have a few events like this, before WOTLK they had some events for example in various locations there were crates which if you went close to them you became infected and in a minute turned into a zombie unless you were dispelled, you could then run around as a zombie infecting others ^^ it was loads of fun, there were some other cool stuff too such as frost wyrms attacking orgrimar and thrall and his buddies stopping them.

Overheal · 09-09-2009 3:26am

Isnt that the same zombie curse that very famously put wow on the map? It was no time before whole realms were filled with zombie toons and only half of them had any idea what to do about it.

It sounded cool and i wish i had been around for it, but unfortunatly a large portion of the Warcraft community bitched and moaned about not being able to do their daily heroic runs and other QQ like this, so nothing as interesting will probably ever happen again.

I ****ing hate these people.

smellslikeshoes · 09-09-2009 7:47am

Even though I have very little faith in that website or any others claiming to know a definite release date it does seem in the right sort of time frame. We still have the Onyxia revamp to put some time between Colosseum and Icecrown. I'd assume Icecrown will be released during spring and will bring us right towards an October/November release. And before you say spring -> November is too long don't forget that Sunwell was released in March and it was November before Wotlk was released. I'd also assume that there will be some big preperation events to keep us busy in the last month or two aswell.
