Release date for WoW given.

[Ruvanal]

*cough* Diablo 2: Lord of "We only have one runeword ready on shipment, most of the uniques haven't been designed or polished, sorceresses can destroy the Bloody Foothills at no risk and reach lvl 99 in two days, people can upload their own designed items to our 'secure' server,..." Destruction

Second that.

Problem is that the date may be accurate due to marketing and business concerns that override wither thegame is actually done or not. The D2:LoD was just such a case in point.
