correct, this has been their modus operandi for all of TBC and Wrath classic. I believe the idea is specifically patch before announced launch so that if anything goes wrong on patch day they have time to fix it.
There is no reason to believe they would deviate from that formula now
The RP servers were launched like 10 minutes after all the others. Still no idea why blizz made us wait. Especially on lava lash.
Where did they say that? If we knew that for sure we would be saying that.
Look on google at multiple sources that say feb 8th 1 pm pacfic 
Then cite the sources. If blizzard isnt a source I dont trust it. If its that simple link to one source.
Phase 2 is live at 1 PM Pacific Standard Time on Thursday, February 8th. I’ll leave you to figure out what that means for your time zone.
It was sort of blink and you’ll miss it but they literally confirmed the release time in their GDKP Clarification Post:
Here you go. Under “When exactly does this policy go into effect?”
That doesnt say when phase 2 goes live. Thats the gdkp post.
Edit: i see it further down. Why didnt you quote the actual paragraph?
Its the GDKP post where they also say exactly when Phase 2 goes live. Already quoted it in response to the OP but here you go!
When exactly does this policy go into effect?
I did in my response to the OP and since it was literally the post right above my response to you, I figured you would either see it oooor have just enough reading comprehension to read where I told you “it’s under this thing specifically”.
My bad for overestimating your intelligence.
wonder why an 8 hour shut down tomorrow if it is not phase 2 for a few days after.
Do you read every comment in every thread? I dont.
No need to be a jerk.
The official post says 1pm PST.
“Phase 2 goes live on February 8 at 1:00 pm PST (21:00 GMT)”
Rozen is special 
Tried to tell you and be helpful but your acting like im trolling im at work and dont have time to give you all the links and sources thus why i said search google. But glad you see it with your own eyes now.
I’m a jerk to people who jerk me around first =)
I didnt jerk you around. Clearly i hadnt read that part. TIL asking for sources is jerking people around. You obviously answered the question for me too. I also learned you act like a 16 year old on the internet.
I guess so. Well glad you know now buddy enjoy your day and p2.
I wasnt responding to you. The other paladin is the jerk.
