All of the latest Mists of Pandaria newsRumor: Cataclysm targeted for a November 2 release date

According to MMO-Champion, Cataclysm is targeted for a release date of Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2010. No official release date has been announced, and as is noted on MMO-Champion, Blizzard could easily push back the release date.
We do know that Cataclysm has previously been targeted for a 2010 release date and that they've kept on this target recently.

Im not ready yet!

Damn - will miss my vacation by 2 weeks if that turns out to be correct.
I really want to play the new stuff, but mostly I want my guildies who're on hiatus until at least the pre-event to come back. Was good to see everyone log in for the Gnomer/Echo Isles events.

I wouldn't really classify this as a "rumor" - more like a prediction. Just because Boub makes a guess doesn't make it a rumor.
Narayana Sep 13th 2010 1:56PM
Based on the words he used, though, it seems like he’s not just guessing. There is definitely the sense that Boub is working with some inside information when stating that date.

Could Mr McFish possibly be not prepared...?

Boub is right 99.9 percent of the time.He broke the early Cataclysm details before anyone else. He has Blizzard sources, so if he says that it has a target date of Nov 2, then that is the target date.

if it's true, then pre order should be available soon enough.

Actually, I can confirm the "rumor" of the expected release date. Many of you who go to Gamestop know that most stores carry a book with the intended release dates of upcoming products. I got a copy of one page from those books which stated Cataclysm being released on November 2nd. You can probably still see it.

Gamestop has a record of having inaccurate "filler" dates IIRC. Not to put down your comment, of course.

Lets Hope It holds! : )

Nooo! It will be pushed back by 1 week so my prediction was right! :P

I still hold to the idea that it'll be released on November 23rd, because it was the day Vanilla was released and so I think Blizzard would like to take such an opportunity.

Welp, there goes my idea of having it be a Christmas present. Happy Day of the Dead, anyone?
Whiplashmtb Sep 13th 2010 12:22PM
How about
"Happy Election Day".

My birthday is November 8th. So i think I know what I'M getting :D

You should never expect Blizzard to release a Game/Expansion/Major Patch during a major holiday like Christmas. They don't want people to have to choose between their families or real life duties and playing new content. Also, I'm sure Blizzard employees don't want to be stuck at work fixing expansion/patch bugs during Christmas.
Remember that they even delayed the second wing of ICC opening so that it wouldn't coincide with Christmas.

A grand conspiracy to keep WoW players from voting, because we will be too busy rolling Worgen and Goblins! Damn you, Fox News!

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm... "An evil plot by Republicans to keep younger voters at home on election day."
