This is in my opinion a crying shame, as just a couple more months of development time could have made a world of difference to this game. I'm sure it'll still be wildly successful, but I can't see how it could possibly be ready to the standard of prior Blizzard releases when they used to say "screw the timetable - we'll release it when it's done."WoW Release Date?

The Detroit Free Press (thanks PlanetWarcraft Forums and DeadlyRAge) says they have learned the release date for World of Warcraft, Blizzard's upcoming MMORPG:
One of the most anticipated PC games of the year now has a launch date.
"World of Warcraft," the online world game from the makers of the incredibly popular "Warcraft" strategy game series, is scheduled to launch the week of Nov. 22, the Free Press has learned.
Most stores have predicted Nov. 15 would be the launch date for "World of Warcraft," guessing that Sony Online Entertainment's behemoth "Everquest 2" would come out on or near the same day. But Phil O'Neil, president, North America, of "Warcraft" publisher Vivendi Universal Games, said the game will actually launch a week after the company's other hot holiday title, "Half-Life 2," which debuts Nov. 16.
