The World of Warcraft is waiting with bated breath tonight for the official announcement of Patch 3.1 going live tomorrow, and it appears that announcement will be coming soon.WoW Insider has a few sources that are all pointing towards tomorrow as the release date, save some major internal mess up at Blizzard HQ. MMO-Champion also has some (Are our sources the same? The world may never know.), and Bibi is running a similar announcement over there. While these are, by definition, just rumors, they are taken quite credibly by many of us.
What does this mean for you?
It means you'll want to become familiar quickly with all the patch 3.1 changes if you haven't already. The best place to find out everything is via WoW Insider's Guide to Patch 3.1. Be sure to check back on it throughout this evening as we get more information in and tomorrow as the floodgates open.
Should be a fun few days!

Quick! Sacrifice the chickens and goats! And beg the Gods for "Not another 3.0.2!"

More to the point, unless you're in a guild that's gunning for server firsts or whatever, tomorrow may be a very good day to plan NOT to log onto World of Warcraft. ;)

Skip the chickens! Sacrifice a virgin, STAT!
Hoggersbud Apr 13th 2009 8:40PM
Why? We've got plenty of virgins!
Sacrifice something valuable and rare!

BRING OUT THE GNOMES!!
theorem4 Apr 14th 2009 1:23PM
Yeah, we're valuable and rare. :)
Hoggersbud Apr 13th 2009 11:00PM
Well, if we're going to have gnomes, I prefer them well-done.

I don't think it will be tomorrow, I am still betting the 21st. There is still a few issues and bugs, as well as the PTRs being up...
Ghallar Apr 13th 2009 8:43PM
But those "issues and bugs" didnt stop em from making 3.0.8 live :) I bet you know the story
foodlion Apr 14th 2009 3:56AM
Looks to me that there will be some hat-eating tomorrow...
kabshiel Apr 13th 2009 8:44PM
And by "fun next few days" you mean "laggy, crash-tastic next few days", right? Not to mention how the hour-long queues will likely be back. I can't wait!

That's one of the "Hard Modes"in Ulduar, Defeat "X" before the server crashes.
Graham Apr 13th 2009 9:56PM
I love my server. We had ZERO problems with 3.0.2. And as a Paladin, I loved that patch ;)
Unless you are on an overpopulated server, the new patch shouldn't screw things up.

Has a major content patch ever been released while the PTR is still live?
Alex Ziebart Apr 13th 2009 8:55PM
It rarely ever goes down until just before they officially announce the patch's release.
Arlen Apr 13th 2009 10:07PM
Pretty sure 3.0.8 was released while the PTR was still up.
Sean Apr 13th 2009 8:56PM
I thought the ptr was down now.
