My guess is they want to launch TBCC before D2:R which is coming possibly at the end of June or not long after.
They don’t want two huge releases at the exact same time.
They also probably don’t want the launches to happen at the same time as 9.1. 9.1 would be a ghost town if it launched too close to TBC launch. It might be anyway, but this way you might have some people already bored of TBC by the time 9.1 comes out.
could be, they only have the luncher ticking down 26 days and whatever seconds and crap, but it does not really say if thats prepatch or what.
Although regardless this does add up to what I predicted over a year ago being June or July for TBC in some format.
So there is that.
For everyone’s information, blizzard does have the technology to give us a smooth launch. As a matter of fact they’ve used it extensively the last 3 expansions, and we got a modified version of it in classic. In anyone hasn’t guessed yet, it’s LAYERING!!! Providing they use it to handle the entire server hitting the same zone at the same time, it shouldn’t be an issue

so excited!
I think 2 weeks is fine since we have the reduced xp bars. And if that’s not enough for you… you’ll be fine.

Layering doesn’t stop a server from hitting queue times, because servers still have a maximum capacity, even with layers implemented.
Guys cmon, the game could still get delayed like Shadowlands was.
To get to 60? No problem. Time to get caught up with the other 60s? Not even a little bit.
I can safely say this in the best setting yet: Y’all are not prepared!

Cool, my days off are Tuesday Wednesday. 
Layering let’s blizzard increase a servers max player limit, it’s how layering works. It’s why when que times got so long for Whitemane they kayerd it and que times dropped substantially.
True, but they can temporarily bump that up to get through launch rush. And if pops don’t stabilize they can offer FCM, just like they did with classic. Though it did take them a while to give us the temporary pop bump. Theyre not really restricted in max server pop anymore with layering enabled.
That being said, I’m sure there will be long queues on a few servers. There’s absolutely no way to avoid a launch rush, it doesn’t matter what day or time they go live, servers will be packed.
This is true, when launches used to be at midnight pst there was still queues.
Oh yeah. I remember giving up pretty quickly in both MoP and WoD. The helicopter quest in jade forest was unplayable, I spent an hour trying to finish it. And the worst one by far was thousands of player all trying to click that flag to build your garrison in WoD. None of the launches were smooth untill we got sharding in Legion.

Famous last words.
WoD was my only really bad recent launch.
MoP on horde I had zero issues lol, poor alliance though.
