I was expecting this much, but it's great to have confimation. Bring the beta back just before July 4th weekend, have it be hard-tested by as many people as possible. Wonder how much more change will be done from now till release?

Psychology

It's not that big of a deal. Some people hold an experiment, others just cover literature.

I am very interested to see what patch changes have been made during the downtime. I don't expect it to be major changes, but I bet there will be quite a few little racial tweaks to contemplate.

Is it even official from Blizz that July 1st is the date?

july first seems somewhat awkward. I'd say either 28th or 29th for all, or 5th or 6th of july for all. dunno though, we'll see.

July 1st seems slightly fishy to me as well.

Why does July 1 sound weird to you? I really hope it'll be up :-)

It's a Thursday. I think it's much more likely to be the 28th.

cause it's a thursday. why that day in specific? it makes no sense. getting the servers up 1 day before weekend in case something goes wrong is stupid, also , normal maintenance days are tuesdays (or wednesdays in case of the european WOW servers).

by the way part of this process is probably linking the wow and sc2 battle.net together. the new friend system is introduced inw ow there as well.

Because the EU/Taiwan WoW servers gets the real-ID feature on wednesday.

Sounds strange because it's so close to the weekend... and we all know how releasing stuff so close to the weekend, a holiday weekend in fact, can be problematic for blizz.

My guess would be July 6th, a Tuesday coincidentally enough!
