Did they announce it?
Did you see an announcement? We have an extended maintenance window tomorrow which likely coincides perfectly with their realm consolidation plan.
It’s not prepatch - Shadowlands also has a 4-hour window scheduled.

The fact they plan to update the ptr with patches for events etc… going to be atleast another week.

The more they delay the prepatch the more I think we’re getting the sad 2 week prepatch instead of 4 weeks.

That first update will hit PTR this week for sure, I suspect they’ll progress it fairly quickly unless there’s some unknown game-breaking bug discovered. TBC pre-patch PTR was only live for 10 days before it went live.
16th is unlikely, 23rd is a definite possibility.
theres no way its tomorrow with no notice for people or live servers notice/name reserve. Aug 16 or 23.

To me 23rd would seem even quick at this point why I posted that. I would love to be wrong and it come on the 23rd

The arena season techinically can go until 1 week before wrath launches. Thats the end of bc.
with the incoming talent changes it would be a huge shake up to make to class balance mid season i don’t see that ever happening
Never say never with blizzard my friend
Imagine the riots if pre-patch ends up being 2 weeks, or they delay launch.
I imagine itll go a little something like yall lied to us blah blah and they’ll go we dont even like you who cares

Not Pre-Patch.
It was literally announced via blue post that Classic realm consolidation would take place August 9.
I don’t suspect Pre-Patch to happen until at minimum a week after that.
Anyone else remember the “missing mail” bug they had to fix right after the Classic Era and TBC realms split? 
This is going to sound a bit harsher than I intend it to, but I don’t want to spend an hour editing my “message tone” for people who are going to forget about my reply in 2 seconds anyway. 
Do people not realize there has never been a 100% smooth transition after realm consolidations? There have been only a couple of expacs where those transitions have gone 95% smoothly in Retail. What makes you think with all the Wrath Classic #somechanges being implemented that we will have a smooth transition now and that Wrath Classic Pre-Patch will start with a “press of a button” without seeing what happens with people’s merged realms first? There’s no logic or respect in that assumption.
I think the majority of people know that the 9th isn’t prepatch even though they might wish it were

There most definitely has, just not with blizzard.
i expect prepatch will be sept 14. so many broken classes on beta still which translates to prepatch broken classes.
