World of Warcraft Launches November 22?

Related Topics – World of Warcraft

The Detroit Free Press website is the unlikely source with the World of Warcraft launch date, which is November 22 according to them. Several stores show the game as launching November 15 but apparently VUGames' North American president Phil O'Neil told the Free Press columnist the game would launch a week later. Thanks Bill. You can find some more beta impressions at HomeLAN Fed.

Gimme a new game to beta test I've been playing this game since February when I got in....

It's awesome though, and it's about damn time they release it, when they went ahead and added that dumb Tram it was time for release!

I'm bored with it now anyway, been playing DC Final in what little spare time I have

Wow I was just checking around and it seems EQ2 is launching sooner! Power move if you ask me because everyone i've spoken to say EQ2 isnt ANYWHERE near as ready as WoW. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/041025/lam076_1.html

  of course not, no game is as near as ready as WoW. You can't compare the two. : dmiller

    my point being that blizzard games are exceptionally polished and few games are as polished as they are. : dmiller
    - At the risk of sounding fanboyish, I totally agree. : Pneum0

Ordinn (Bliz Dev) Posted on the official WoW Forums:

"We appreciate everyone's interest in determining when World of Warcraft will ship, but while we are rapidly approaching the open beta period and we are confident that we will meet our goal of shipping the game before the end of this year, nailing down an exact ship date is a little more complicated due to a number of factors. As soon as we have a specific date to announce, we will be excited to share the news with everyone. Please don't consider any announced release dates official until such an announcement comes from Blizzard. This is true for all announcements related to Blizzard games. "

So, retail is less than a month away and they still haven't started "signups" for open beta yet? Is the open beta going to run right up until retail or what? I don't fully understand the timeframes at this point.

WoW seemed amazingly well pollished for an MMO during the stress test. Yes, new "features" need to be tweaked, but that is par for the course with any MMO.

Comparing the gold date and release date for the past couple of blizzard games, it seems that WoW should go gold this week or next. However those were for worldwide releases and if this isn't going to be on, there might not be as much time between gold and shipping. I still don't see how they will make that release date though.
