Midsummer is not here

[Kumasama-westfall]

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

you missed the point. I understand it says week. but everyone that read it saw 20th and even wowhead reported as the 20th, and everyone expecting it today and that’s why this thread is here.

Burning Crusade Classic Summer Events

The events will kick off at 0:00 Midnight on July 23 (realm time) in all regions. With Burning Crusade Classic launching only three weeks ago, we decided to postpone the Midsummer Fire Festival this year. It felt a little too soon to have players who might be taking their time feel the need to level up (or level up their alts) so they could make the most of Ahune, among other things. But we don’t want to skip a whole year, so we’ve decided to open the Midsummer Fire Festival in Burning Crusade …

Says the 23rd at midnight server time

[Twixie-malganis]

They literally edited the post today to say that.

[Redshadowz-heartseeker]

Yup. And very recently.

[Stanly-arthas]

I too was also expecting today actually had the old forum post up from last month in my tab because i tend to forget to close out of them and it definitely said the 20th. I’m used to it from Blizz. Just a bunch of snarky buttholes work there. They all talk crap about us and could care less.

[Silentpoison-pagle]

Any update?

[Stanly-arthas]

Yeah the 23rd now apparently

@Deidada-bigglesworth

blizzard probably forgot yet again to enable it. (like they do with lots of things)

@Pepperx-skeram

100% Blizzard forgot to Enable it like they said they would. It’s July 20th and their post stated July 20th and well it’s not here.

They’re a basement-run company with only like 3 employees bro, relax guys.

It doesn’t start until the 23rd. The confusion comes from the wording "the week of July 20, 2021**.

@Kovac-myzrael

The confusion comes from the wording

The confusion comes from the fact they forgot and had to go back and edit their original post.

[Karasoli-herod]

everyone being wrong about something doesn’t suddenly make it correct

[Skifell-mankrik]

This, starting “the week of” has always meant that day. ESPECIALLY WHEN “the week of” IS LISTED AS A TUESDAY DATE!!!

Stop defending Blizzard for horrible decisions, and last minute communication edits to save face.

@Notglinda-pagle

Yup.

“week of” has meant, for the entirety of wow, after maint on tues… that’s why it’s week of and tuesdays date.

They forgot and don’t have the righteous orbs to say it.
