All of the latest Mists of Pandaria newsWorld of Warcraft: Cataclysm still on track for a 2010 release date

Not so, apparently! In the latest Activision-Blizzard investor conference call, the companies reported their earnings for Q2 of this year and also spoke a bit about why, all things considered, 2010 will be a good year for Activision-Blizzard. Blizzard reported excellent earnings, as always, and noted that despite economic turbulence, World of Warcraft has maintained 11.5 million subscribers. The biggest news, though, was that Cataclysm is still on track for a 2010 release. During Mike Morhaime's address to investors, he said:
Good news for us the fans. It's getting harder and harder to wait, even (or especially) with the beta being available. We'll keep you guys posted if we hear anything more specific regarding a release date."... I'd like to point to the release of Cataclysm, being our best expansion yet for World of Warcraft. Although an exact release date has not yet been announced, we're on track to launch the expansion by the end of the year. As with all Blizzard games, though, we won't release until it's ready."
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm will destroy Azeroth as we know it. Nothing will be the same. In WoW.com's Guide to Cataclysm, you can find out everything you need to know about WoW's third expansion. From goblins and worgen to mastery and guild changes, it's all there for your cataclysmic enjoyment.

@Wasgij. G4 is not a very good source of information, lol. It's a lot like Fox News.

I consider this a joke, content is extremely dried up. Ruby sanctum looks like it was made in a afternoon. There no reason what so ever no to reinvest in development teams to speed up production. The fact it taken over ten years to come out with starcraft and Diablo is plain wrong. Looking foward to Final Fantasy XIV in september, I'm thinking it may actually be the first true wow killer.

I swear people will never learn that NO ONE but the actual company knows the release date, and sometimes not even then.
GameStop puts up dates to sell preorders, they don't know the date.
Video game review sites don't know the date, they guess.
Stuff like G4 is a complete guess. They know it's coming 2010, so it's a safe bet to put "December 31st" up.
Before Duke Nukem Forever was cancelled, GameStop had a release date up. That release date changed FOR TWELVE YEARS.
Sites make a guess on a date. Blizzard says end of 2010, they say November or December.
Do you honestly, honestly, honestly believe that when Blizzard says "We don't have a set date yet" that somehow G4 knows better than Blizzard?

END OF THE YEAR WHAT?
3.3 was released in october 2009.
They can't possibly have us go til november again, this shit needs to come out around september max.

It was released in December 2009 actually.

A Battered Hilt?

The battered hilt is now diamonds!
Drakkenfyre Aug 6th 2010 7:10PM
Diamonds are now in a horse. That horse is now a sparkly pony. You now have the $25 you would have spent on the horse because you didn't buy it! I am not riding this horse backwards, because I didn't buy it.
Sorry, wanted to.

Therefore, this thread is now diamonds.
