TBC Release Date Announced

Posted bright and early by Eyonix, it's official folks!
    IRVINE, Calif. -- Blizzard Entertainment® today announced that the release date for World of Warcraft®: The Burning Crusade™, the highly anticipated expansion for World of Warcraft, will be in January 2007. By adding a few extra weeks to the development cycle beyond its original target date, Blizzard will be able to extend the closed beta test and further refine the new content that will ship with the game.

    “We appreciate the enthusiasm surrounding World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, and we’re excited about putting the finishing touches on all of the new content,” said Mike Morhaime, president and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “We feel confident that the extra time spent polishing the game will result in the high-quality experience that our players expect and deserve.”

    Blizzard began the closed-beta phase of testing on World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade earlier this month. The January 2007 release window will allow extra time for current beta testers to participate in the final stages of development and continue providing valuable feedback.

    Further information on specific worldwide release dates, pricing, and other details will be announced in the near future.

I for one am glad they didn't cave to management and 'get it in a box by Xmas'.

I want a game that works and is fun, not a piece of **** that needs patching.

I totally agree with you, I can want an extra 2 months more time for me to get ready for it.
Hmph....

Starcraft : Ghost anyone?
I think the projected release on that was 2003.....
I'm going to cancel for a couple months and use the saved subscription for TBC.

As John mentioned, this is merely a change of the release window. There's still no solid release date yet.
I'm just fine with it.

I'm trying to get rank 11 so it gives me more time, so I'm perfectly fine with this.

I'm sure I'll miss some of the notification.... But didn't this start off as being ready for Easter just gone? Then the Con then the "end of summer" then early October then Halloween, then 11 Nov now it's January next year - some of us have this (and the collectors edition) not only on pre order - but prepaid pre order. What's to stop them putting it back to next years Con - where you can get another super special freebie.
Dates?

Blizzard never stated a specific date for the release. Anything youve heard (like Nov 11) is just something a store or site made up so they can start preordering.

And you should know better than to expect blizzard to release something on time :P

Not so much a "Release Date" as a "Release Time Period".
