No official announcement has been made.
Having said that, all betas for previous expansions in the past have lasted 5 months, and after that the game is launched. The beta for MoP started on the last week of March, so a "possible" release date would be the last week of August.

that beta is mostly bug freeWho in the name of the seven hells told you that lie? There is a ^&*! ton of bugs in the low level questing zones that are tied into the Pandarens, so yeah, they have to work on the old world stuff in addition to the new Pandaria issues; right now, there are 5 major bugged quest lines in the Jade Forest, while a major quest in Vally of the Four Winds DC's you every single time a turtle does his special attack.
There is no way in hell the next expansion is out in June, unless they release a completely bugged version.

Wrong Sold; most of the people in Beta are AP users, who think they are getting a sneak peek at the game, rather then acting like actual Beta testers....the only thing the 1.2 million AP users are gonna be useful for it stress testing: I still see people asking 'Where are the Pet Battles?" "Can I level to 90 now?" *a thousand other Beta questions that can be answered by a quick look at the Forums before coming in*
It's gonna be 5-6 months before Live MoP comes out.

I still like the November 12th date. That way I can get MoP for my birthday on the 5th ;p

With the amount of content not even in Beta yet, and with the rate they are adding it, I can't see it being out before about September. Maybe September/October.
Cheers.

As rankkorr mentioned - usually 5 months. However, people in this beta have said that the start of it seemed more alpha then beta - so I wouldn't be surprised if it went a bit longer than usual. Also, D3 is coming out in May and they'll want to give people enough time to enjoy that prior to releasing Mists.
D3 is coming out on May, and I said that the possible release date was either late August or Early September. Don't you think that's more than enough time to enjoy D3?
Also, people who say this looks more like "alpha" than beta, are doing so because they expected a sneak peek at the game rather than *GASP* an unfinished beta of the game.
Its a beta, of course its gonna be absurdly buggy as hell, incomplete and so on and so forth. So was the cata beta and it still lasted 5 months and that was a beta for a much larger game since it was a revamped kalimdor, revamped EK, and 8 new Cata zones.
I'm basing my speculation on past data, and past data has shown betas to last 5 months. This beta "could" be longer, just as it "could" be shorter, just as it "could" last the same as all the others.
Based on what already 3 other betas lasted, I'm calling this game to be out on August-September.

I'm going to disagree. There's no reason to base the length of the beta off of previous ones since logically they're going to get better at fixing things every time they do one and that means it should be shorter. Also they said they would make a level 90 arena realm and I don't see them doing that months after the arena tournament is over. And with content not being in beta I would really think they just are holding back new zones so they don't have as many bugs to deal with at once and they are half way through the zones according to the unofficial list on the beta forum. Going off of that its been a month and they released half of the zones there's no reason they couldn't do the other half in a month with a couple weeks of clean up.
Half of the zones? They've released 2; the Wilds isn't open yet.
Edit: Unless it was just opened up last night.

Only three zones are open then: Forest, Valley and now the Wilds, with two 2 dungeons. There's still a lot more things to come....and there are still errors in the zones with quests.

Okay, yes, the Wandering Isle is in....but as you can't go back there once you finish the Quest line, same as the Goblins, I don't count that as one of the most important zones in Pandaria.

And no Scenarios yet, right? That's one of the features I'm most looking forward to.
Cheers.
