With news that Wrath of the Lich King may be released in the second half of 2008, many online shops has already listed the all-time best MMORPG’s second expansion date for pre-order and release date.
Amazon has listed the date of released as 30 November.
Bestbuy stated the release date as 3rd of November.
Gamestop has also stated the shipping date as 3rd November.
Based on the last expansion, Burning Crusade, which release date was originally set on November 2006, but pushed back to January 2007, if no accidents happen (*fingers crossed*), Wrath of the Lich King should release in November also. I think it may be released around 30 November (buffer around 5 days), which is the Amazon’s forecast. This expansion should come before Christmas (hopefully). Otherwise, history will repeat.
