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!

Upon reading the title I immediately reached for my magic 8 ball to confirm.
Outlook good.
Weird coincidence?

It's all a conspiracy contrived by our soon-to-be Magic 8 Ball overlords! The end is nigh!

Might be the right time to unlearn herbalism and train engineering up to 205 :)

One of the first thing I'm doing is heading to Gnomer.
That said, I'm hoping they wait an extra week to avoid any weeks-long screw-ups.

Paladin Holy Wednesday Holiday!
(followed by the Feast of St. Nerf-bat on Thursday)
any guesses as to the victim? I think it's going to be exorcism

"they are taken quite credibility by many of us."
Umm, there's a little 'understandability' issue there...

Extended maintenance beginning at 3am for all servers, 1am for some of them

What this means to me is that a spell-check can't teach you the difference in usage between "bated" and "abated."

Official Ulduar Page is up with the trailer now.

It makes sence that the patch drops tonight because that gives Blizzard a week and a bit to ensure everything is good before noblegarden. How much bitching would there be if some people missed out on a meta acheivment because of a buggy patch. Its happening tonight for sure...I predict 2 PM PST servers will be back

ptr JUST went down. Not sure if it is a restart/shutdown, but away it goes!
