"It seems blizzard was trying to give us the release date why back with the "Operation: Gnomeregan" Article
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/3p9/gnomeregan2.xml
So far I've found 2 clues, not sure if theres more.
Clue Number 1
After all, Thermaplugg has eluded death for years to keep his reign over Gnomeregan; and with the fall of the Lich King, the last great threat to the citizens of Azeroth, the chance of any cataclysmic event taking place in the foreseeable future is "less than 12.7%," Mekkatorque's leading combat medical advisor Doc Cogspin purported.
the chance of any cataclysmic event taking place in the foreseeable future is "less than 12.7%,"
Keep in mind that us Yanks right Dates in MM,DD,YYYY order. That gives us December 7th.
OR
Q u o t e:
The chance of any cataclysmic event taking place in the foreseeable future is "December 7th"
Ok so maybe thats a stretch, but the next clue made me Sh!t Brix.
Check out the Quote:
"High Tinker Mekkatorque today exclaimed Operation: Gnomeregan to be imminent, describing his former ally Thermaplugg's irradiation of the beloved city as "a date which will live in a proportionate rate of increase in impropriety!"
Sound Familiar? Again you probably need to be American, or a WWII History Buff. How about this?
President Franklin D. Roosevelt: Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
^^ was pretty Cataclysmic.
If I was a chick, I'd so be a blizzard Groupie after this. I'd be in the parking lot, waiting for the designers to get off work, trying to bang one or 2....
