Comment by InnuendoGood. Pre-ordering is an awful thing we've been allowing developers to do, ESPECIALLY triple-A studios. There's an argument to be made for indie studios who can use the pre-order money to further development, but these big studios do not need you to fund development. You're paying for an idea of a product, not an actual product. You'll still get your pre-order bonuses even if you wait until like a month before release date, so let them EARN your pre-order with action instead of just words.Comment by IcemanSKI just realized that if this new expansion will release in 2023, this means at least 1 more year of Shadowlands...

Right now jury is still out on the release date speculation so no one is in to big of a rush.Comment by AshazzarAnd in other news:

We have not reached june of 2022 yetComment by MatrixwolfLooking forward to adding the Dragonflight CE to my collection :)

As I recall the Dragonflight pre-order string was found in 9.2.5 PTR, so I don't expect the digital Pre-order until 9.2.5Comment by shaddizCan't deleteComment by shaddizAnd in other news:

Throwing out a release date that they can't meet or make them rush it once again is good for no one. Lets end this mentality "RELEASE NOW! I NEED TO PLAY! FIX LATER!" that screwed the game for some years now.Comment by ShinlimI just want to secure one CE, don't care about the release date. Still lots of stuff to do in SL.Comment by Dexstar09I just want to secure one CE, don't care about the release date. Still lots of stuff to do in SL.Comment by mazejakerGood. A game that has barely had it's content revealed, and has no planned release date, should not expect people to pay money for it. This is a rare Blizz W.Comment by gameshuntersaMaybe they plan to release it for free, hopefully.Comment by crazylion22Honestly, I felt a bit disappointed when there wasn't a digital deluxe edition right away, but that stemmed from how excited I am to see what mount and other stuff will come with it.
But I will gladly wait patiently and just hope the goodies are worth it and especially better than what mount came with SL, which was just another reskin of the cloud serpent skeleton.Comment by MaximusPMThis is a change from previous expansions, when pre-orders were usually grouped together with expansion reveals.Comment by SouledkJust my twocents here: The expansion likely won't be released this year, so rather in Q1 or early Q2 2023. The merging with Microsoft is expected to be complete in mid 2023, so i suppose they are waiting for the merging stuff to go further before they announce anything as the expansion will be, at least in the patches, effected by Microsoft so I assume they will talk with the Microsoft guys on how they imagine the expansion to go, how they want to sell it, what kind of marketing they'll prefer and so on and so forth, what direction Microsoft wants to go with the Blizzard IPs in general, after they had those talks they'll set things in stone. Really far fetched and somewhat unlikely, but in the realm of possibility in my thoughts.Comment by tupolew519not cool.Comment by RemTilakFrom the "Encrypted Mount, Pet, Transmog" article:
Besides the mount and pet, one of the unknown encrypted models shares many animations with the Vulpera Male model, but not much more is known about it.Comment by EridianCould have had some departments saying to hold the phone on releasing further details like the purchase and stuff. It’s going to be cool regardless. New stories and exploring I’m down for that . Let’s see if those goons that have been trying to revive Galakrond finally were able to do so or if the end time with murozond comes to pass.
