Drysc just posted that the PTR is closed and that patch 2.4 testing has concluded. His announcement in totality reads: "The doors to the 2.4 Public Test Realm and Tournament Test Realm are now closing. We wanted to thank everyone for their participation and bug reports, and we'll see you on the live realms!"WoW Insider will have extensive coverage throughout the day on patch 2.4. From the new gear, to class changes, to the new sights and sounds, we'll have it all covered.
This is a very strong indicator that 2.4 will be released tomorrow. I'll update as soon as official confirmation comes through that it hits the live realms tomorrow.
Updated 11:27 p.m. EDT: MMO-Champion is saying that 2.4 is tomorrow based on the above Drysc post and other hints from blues and GMs. Based on my information and my own experiences I am highly inclined to agree with them. However it's not official until a post or notice from Blizzard completely confirms it.

The anticipation is killing me...
This is imo the final big patch until WoTLK comes out and hopefully will keep me entertained until then :D

They have already said that 2.4 is the last content patch before WotLK.

So anyone else excited for tomorrow when the shaman community fills with "Death to Kalgen" topics? They will be as far as the eye can see!

Meh, I for one am sick of waiting. There won't be any game balance before the expansion, and even then, I'm doubtful.
I'm also quite sick of this game anymore. I'm not even remotely interested in filing into the huge clusterf*ck that QDN is going to be. Yea, let's put the entire population of 70's into one small island and have them fight over the same small pool of mobs. There couldn't possibly be any lag or crowding problems.

I think the April Fool's joke will be that the patch is either "fake" released, or it's removed from the game for the day"

On the logon screen, it says there is will be an Extended Maintenance window, from 3AM to 11AM PDT. I think that absolutely nails it. It's patch day!

OK. Here is a link to GameSpot.com. They have a download page created for patch 2.4 already complete with a link to download the file, the name of the file, and the size of the file all with tomorrows date on it. The link to the page is here. (don't know how to post it as a link, the page I guess is here.)
