theres basically 1 simple formula i have experienced over a long time playing games now.
Theres always one company in one game category rocking all other companies hard and then there is Blizzard rocking all companies in every game category they chose to set their foot in.
So basically blizzard will take its time to generate the best and most rounded mmorpg on the market by the time of the release and prolly for a long time in the future.
This is partly from what i believe the major cash reserves they have ( e.g from selling more than 5 million WC3 copies *doh*) and then also from the insane reputation they have meanwhile.
A publisher wont push the development crew to an early release ( as it happened to SWG and Shadowlands for example ) and thus by release WoW will at least be playable they way its intended to be played ( again in contrast to SWG and SL ).
And yes i will definitly play it :)
