General Guideline of previous and specilated future release dates.

[style1one]

First off, this is more of a rough guideline for people and if any admin/mod feels it should be moved then please do. Though I feel it would fit here since it is a guideline of general release dates for previous and speculated future times.

This is roughly what I am going by when stocking up on items so that I have plenty in stock whith in a month or so and created it earlyer last week when I thaught of it.

• World of Warcraft 23 November 2004
  
• Mc 7 June 2005
  
• Blackwing Lair 12 July 2005
  
• Zul'Gurub 13 September 2005
  
• Dragons of Nightmare 10 October 2005
  
• AQ 3 January 2006
  
• Naxx 20 June 2006
  
  
  
• Burning Crusaide 7 January 2007
  
• Bt 22 May 2007
  
• Zul’Aman 13 November 2007
  
• Sunwell 25 March 2008
  
  
  
• Wrath of the Lich King 13 November 2008
  
• Ulduar 14 April 2009
  
• Trial of the Champion 4 Augest 2009

Then looking at in game pets recieved for blizz birthday
with wrath, you got it in november. While there is
already released info that we will be betting a ony
vanity pet so that would coinside with November agin.

Going by arena start dates in tbc and the release of
content to coinside with them.

• Season 1 Gladiator January 30, 2007
• Season 2 Merciless June 20, 2007 (Bt released 1 month before)
• Season 3 Vengeful November 28, 2007 (Za released 2 weeks before)
• Season 4 Brutal June 24, 2008
• Season 5 Deadly December 16, 2008
• Season 6 Furious April 21, 2009 (Ulduar released 2 weeks before)
• Season 7 Relentless September 1, 2009 (should end around the middle of dec fallowing previous time periods thus showing ony if fallowing to release on wows birthday)

• Wow release - Mc release - 6 Months
  
• Mc release - Bwl release - 1 Month
  
• Bwl release - Zg release - 2 months
  
• Zg relese - Dragons release - 1 month
  
• Dragons release - Aq release - 4 months
  
• Aq release - Naxx release - 6 months[/B]
  
  
  (Adv 3 months to release a dungion)
  (If started with same ammount as bc then would adv
  20 months to release 1)
  
  
  
  
  
• Bc release - Bt release - 5 Months
  
• Bt release - Za release - 7 Months
  
• Za release - Sw release - 5 Months

(adv 5.6 months to release)

• wrath release - Ulduar release - 5 months
  
• Ulduar release - Toc release - 4 Months
  
• Toc release - Ony release (speculated) 4 months
  
• Ony release - Ice Crown release 5 - 7 months

Total adv for all three for the release of raids it
would be 4.6 or if rounded 5 months.


That would put us into the summer of 2010 which as
those that were aware in the summer of 08 is when
beta had started for wrath that would then give 2
years in between. So in that it would give us 5
seasons for arena, that would give us 2 more
raids in wrath and be roughly around the same previous
developing time frame. Putting them at the optimal
to release for there birthday, and make it available
for christmas sales.

It doesnt prove anything for sure, but nice effort into putting it all together.

Interesting compilation of dates. Thank you for taking the time to create this.

haha brilliant work with your amthmatics=D

Nice work. Though i'm rather dubious about "Ony release - Ice Crown release 5 - 7 months". Release of revamped Onyxia stands out from all other releases for two reasons. First of all it's only one boss. Second is that it's a present for fans for WoW birthday and in my opinion shouldn't be considered as major content patch.

Bookmarked, nice to know 3x +Rep for you

Well for the reason of the ony thaughts is due to we know we are getting ony vanity pets for wows birthday.

Then with voa not having more wings that are known to be able to be added to, that would make ony a single boss as possibile the next raid boss to drop the fallowing arenas gear.

We know that revamped items from the previous encounter would be released. I will add the dates later for instances that released a special mount. but we know a flying mount will be there.

Ony had gone into original beta a week before wows initial release.

Then dec will bring allot of vacation time at blizz, so that means less people to do tickets, work on issues and such. So for ony to be released with having 2 weeks in nov for people to do patchs and such. Then go into there slower time while they believe to have all fixed, being its a revamp and not full on new raid.

If you then look at the marketing value for the holiday season if anyone rembers the za commericals on tv promoting tbc just before and after relase and this would allow it to be out just before blackfriday (busyest shopping day in the united states)
