I Have been, but I think that wow has a lot to deal with in 2014, especially with the release of Wildstar and Teso

However, Blizzard has been on an employment spree this past year, and with no patch 5.5 in the works, they have the resources to devote to delivering what they've announced.
Edit: And allow me to repost this from WoW Insider
Tom Chilton: "Any content we do now will delay the expansion by the same amount of time it took us to make that content. We are completely focused on making the next expansion and will try to deliver that as soon as we can, hopefully on a shorter cycle than players are imagining, but you never know, we will have to see."
And this from the comments section:
EWOKinLA: 'Let me translate Chilton for you: "We are locked and loaded to ambush ESO and Wildstar. As soon as they commit to a launch date, we will jump out of the bushes, kick both hard in the nads, and steal their thunder by releasing WOD the same week." '
I
almost
never agree with EWOK, but I can on this occasion.

They've said that they don't want to repeat a Dragon soul or Icecrown where we are stuck with the same raid for more or less a year.. My personal guess is late spring/early-mid summer. I am not in a rush though my guild only just got Garrosh down in normal mode so heroic mode should keep me and the rest entertained for some months.

The troubling bit is their timing; typically upcoming expansions are announced
before
we are stuck in the last content patch, but 5.4 is already 2 months old and they have already stated there's not going to be a 5.5 patch.
Assuming Blizz doesn't want to have us re-do SoO for 6 months+ like it happened with ICC (tho we did get RS to play with as well), I would like to believe WoD is coming in Q1 2014 but I don't see it happening - there's still a ton of work left to be done.

Damnit. I was really hoping to give ESO a try before I devote more time to WoW. Damn you Blizz.... shuddup and take my money.

Probably not...since there hasn't been a beta announcement, and they aren't going to just send us into the new lands without some serious testing.

Completely unfounded. SWTOR was released on december 2011, wow released only a patch on that time. GW2 released on august 2012, wow only released a patch, MoP was released a month later.
I Have been, but I think that wow has a lot to deal with in 2014, especially with the release of Wildstar and Teso
meh, they said the same thing when SWTOR and GW2 were gonna be launched, and look, they didn't even slowed wow down. (Before anyone goes "But they went from 9 million to 7" that has nothing to do with those games, the majority of those losses came from china, where nearly two dozen F2P MMOs were released over the past year, and those slowly bled away a lot of players in that region)
Same thing happened during the launches of TERA, Rift, Aion, Warhammer Online, Age of Conan, and a really long list of other MMOs, people going on about how they're gonna wound wow or "kill it" or give it trouble, and neither did any of those.
In fact, most of the ones mentioned above started as subscription based, then had to switch to Free-to-Play to stay online, with one of them (Warhammer) not even lasting.

Nah. Don't believe it. There is no way in hell we're having an expansion with no betas. I fully believe it will be shorter than previous expansions (since they're not gonna work in a 5.5 patch) but as I said a couple of pages ago, we can accurately triangulate the release date based on the beta release date.
When the beta begins, add 4 to 6 months and THAT is your release date.

Well, you were clearly wrong about early January. Unless they do it tomorrow.

I wonder is this worthy to come back or maybe not. I think the trailer is good of course, but not sure about game whole. It is still far in time so i have time to think.

Swtor is why you're not a subscriber, and you think MoP is boring (7.6 million dis-agree), so why do you want WoD at all?

Lanky, people like this are no great loss, I for one didn't weep when all the sheeple left for the titanic, erm I mean ToR.
Penny to a pound he's one of those guys who sit in a city all day long and then complains there is nothing to do.

I have insider info that Blizzard is planning for a Q2 release date. I would suspect sometime in late May, early June. This statement came directly from a Blizzard employee that I know on a personal basis.

While I share your view, based on the 'we don't want a repeat of 10 months of ICC' (December 2009 to October 2010) concept Blizzard has made July 2014 (10 months from September 2013) as their de facto target.
Assuming seasons 14 and 15 last 20 weeks that would give us 42 weeks from September 10, 2013 or July 1, 2014 when the 6.0.x patch leading to WoD would go live.
Given that Blizzard has had 37 and 38 week pvp seasons (8 and 11 respectively) before I don't see 6.0.x going live before July 1, 2014...otherwise why add on a new PvP season when they could just extend season 14 out to 38 weeks (ie have 6.0.x go live June 17, 2014)?

I think the release date will be march 25 2014

What are you two above going on about? There is no way it can be that early. Beta hasn't even started yet, and season 15 PvP hasn't even started yet. It's looking more and more like August/September, at the earliest.
