They HAD to get the game out before Blizzcon or, at the very worst and to my great disappointment, immediately afterward. I was CONVINCED that they wouldn't have done Blizzcon if there was any chance it wouldn't have been out at or before that time, it would have been a PR disaster (paying big bucks to attend a trade show that's one big bitch session? There's how to please the customers!). Dec made no sense... even early Oct didn't make much, why have Blizzcon within a month of release? Players will still be playing seriously at that point. Guess immediately afterward was their only real choice once it was pushed back this far.<br /><br />Disappointed... but I'll save my larger rant for the next post. Plus, upside, I have time to finally get around to trying to get the CMs done, this should mean 6.0 will be a while still.Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-73990252077632065622014-08-14T15:34:40.756-04:002014-08-14T15:34:40.756-04:00I was so hoping for October.

Not only because we have to wait another month, but now I do not think I can take my customary vacation to level a few characters like I normally do. The owner goes on vacation around then and as second in command at my company if he is not there I have to be. No buts about it.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-2753800772893325612014-08-14T15:22:45.064-04:002014-08-14T15:22:45.064-04:00Yeah, noone got it right :-)))

Not sure I want to wait that long however.<br /><br />It would be interesting to see it released on a weekend. I don't see why they can't outside of the fact they never have.

Sure the hotfixes will be slower but its the weekend so any work days off will just extend the initial first rush of new things.<br /><br />Can't see past the end October though, unless they really want the anniversary to be annoying.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420546778062015060noreply@blogger.com
