World of Warcraft ?'s

1. Release date? Everywhere I have seen has said TBA 2004, not even Q3 or Q4 2004, but just TBA. Anyone have ANYTHING more specific than this?

2. Support widescreen resolutions? I would assume it would, but has anyone heard for sure? I looked on the WoW website by Blizzard, and I couldn't find anything.

Other than that, I am looking forward to it. It should kick quite a bit of ass.

I am a huge fan of blizzard games too, i run World of warcraft very very nice on my desktop even with the old video card, as soon as i get my laptop i will try taht too, i think it wont be running into any problems with widescreen. And the game will be out by Sptember-november. Open beta will be within 1-2 montsh

Of course Blizzard has always had a stiff policy of not giveing solid release dates(since the D2 fiasco). I wouldn't expect the game to be out untill the the 3-4th quarter of 2004. For instance the PvP push was just implemented this weekend (looks promiseing

haven't actually started my new character yet

). Anyways I guess I will load it up on my Mitac 8050 and tell you how it plays.

I've seen a tentative date for Sept 2004 but don't quote me on this. I just hope the monthly fee is like 5 bucks a month.

this is reality calling.....not a chance it will be $5.

Look for it to fit into the top range $15. If it is any lower than that, i would be amazed because.

1. Most of the new games are going up to about $15. (especially ones that can draw from a host of real life fans, even if the game sucks, SWG!)
2. This game has huge hype in the gaming world, promises to be very polished upon release (long, large beta) and the Blizzard name brings with it a gigantic and loyal fanbase that would be easily willing ot pay more.
