Soon™
Not gonna lie, I’d be pumped if it was the first. My semester ends the week before, I have outpatient surgery that Monday so no one will expect anything of me… I could sit(lay) there all day and go nuts for two weeks straight.
I think 12/1 sounds best, gives 4-5 extra weeks, raids open after Xmas, enough time to monitor expansion opening for two weeks before Xmas holiday
Story of 2020, blame everything on covid. Even if it didn’t impact it, its a free pass for everybody everywhere to not do things ontime, well, or at all. So stupid.
Your opinion about FF14 doesn’t really matter, and whether Blizzard is worried or not, who knows.
What is true and relevant is that Blizzard has a clear pattern of always releasing their content whenever a competing MMO releases their patch or expansion. Releasing the shadowlands pre-patch on the same day as the next FF14 pre-patch is only the latest example.
SO, whether you like it not, whether you think it’s smart or not, it’s what Blizzard has consistently done over and over again for many many years and expansions.
If blizz wants to defeat the competition then it will launch before the other games do. Also, how can people be saying 2021 when blizz already said “this year” lol
I have a feeling that it will release in December, but the raid won’t come out until January after the break.
So first or second week of December, that keeps it within the realm of releasing later this year and not having to worry about the raid before Christmas break.
Shadowlands should be delayed to Spring 2021, realistically. People are delusional if they think four extra weeks of beta are going to significantly resolve the seething, fundamental systems flaws of the expansion.
The question is whether Blizzard will SAY “December 1st” and then delay it again, or whether they’ll bite the bullet this time and just stay silent. The third option is the worst, where they say December 1st and actually stick to it.

Does it matter? People will get angry what ever day it happens to be
