However there usual timeline suggests to me, it will be the standard 3 games 3 quarters from blizzard themselves. D3 - Spring 2012 Panda - Summer/Autumn HOTS - This time next year (start of nov-1st week into december) Then again like they said in the overall posts, WoW has been losing subscribers and theres lots of MMORPGs that are being anticipated to come out, the likes of SWTOR is out the end of this year (couple of weeks i beleive) and GW3 will be out by summer next year, that leaves Panda expansion needing to be out late next year to try and bring back those people who will leave WoW to play those games, they need to intice them back some how...not with some unkown patch to add a new heoric or 2 | ||

And how many people will buy more than 2 copies? I'll need to eventually buy 3 lol >.> | ||

If so, the 2 major releases are diablo 3 and hots, with the wow expo coming later. + Show Spoiler + Things are getting delayed looking at that product slate. D3 is not in Q4 in 2011 but obviously it was intended to be since Mike felt the need to make a statement about D3 being released early 2012 instead. Starcraft 2 X1, also not in Q4 2011. And just seeing Titan 2013 Q4 is just LOL. Blizzard will maybe announce Titan in 2013 but hardly release it then. WoW movie in Q4 2012? Rofl... | ||

I think/hope that HoTS will go into beta around Diablos release then retail will be sold in July or August. Mists of Pandaria will probably be released next year, Cataclysm took about 2 years to make, I would assume MoP would take about that long as well. Cataclysm took 2 years because they had to remake all the "old" world because..well..of the cataclysm. Blizzard also said that they want to release WoW expansions faster than before and the last WoW raid of the expansion is coming soon. That being said, I think Diablo3 will be released early 2012. It's not that easy to predict the WoW expansion and HoTS yet, because we don't know anything about the betas of these two games(when they will be available etc). Oh and of course, they said "at least 2 releases" | ||
