Biggest BlizzCon Ever Doesn't Mean....

A release date, or even a Beta announcement, as cool as that would be.

It means this, and only this, the most information ever released by the devs will be released at this years BlizzCon.

But, I would like to point out, Jay Wilson, and Bashiok have both mentioned, that the devs are getting as much done as they can "If we have enough time."

This means only 2 things, Crunch time is coming, it's not quite here yet, but I'd fathom a guess that Crunch time happens just before a Beta. Beta is all about balancing and bug fixing, very little content gets developed during this time.

So, a Beta is on its way, and if I had to guess, it will start sometime after the WoW Beta ends.

As for BlizzCon, be prepared to learn a few things -

- The fifth class

- PvP

- Other game mechanics, like the Talisman, and how Passive skills will work.

- "Other Content Types" That Bashiok mentioned - (My guess is these will be some kind of other game modes like survival or some such)

This is all happening next week... I'm so excited!
