Release Date Announced

Blizzard Entertainment today announced the "Street Date" for World of Warcraft.

It is November 23rd, merely 3 weeks from now. While a release date in November wasn't completely impossible, it still comes unexpected. The recent announcement of Open Beta left many hoping for at least a month of game play, now it becomes apparent that it will merely be two weeks until the Open Beta servers will close.

But of course, this is not entirely bad news, as we all know how much pain of loss is involved with playing a character in Beta, knowing all the effort will be useless since the databases will be wiped. So, ships ahoy, we hope to see you all in Azeroth November 23rd.

The Press Release also holds the suggested retail price of $49.99, and $79.99 for the Special Collector's Edition.
