2.3 next week, according to WoW Taiwan


Well, that's sooner than expected. The official World of Warcraft website for Taiwan is announcing, as far as I can tell via Google Translate, that patch 2.3 is going to be released on the 15th in Taiwan. Presumably, that would mean it's coming out on the 13th in North America -- that's a week from today. This is what Google comes up with:

"World of Warcraft" in Taiwan for the forthcoming age! To celebrate the "World of Warcraft" operating in Taiwan for two years, Blizzard Entertainment specially for Taiwan players in the game are now held in the colorful "花火Festival." People expect 2.3 version also will be November 15 (4) maintenance and Taiwan after the players met, "World of Warcraft" dual program installation package tomorrow (7), the province's convenience store channel synchronous devices.

If anyone reads Chinese, could you head over to the site and see if it is, indeed, predicting the patch in merely a week? Edit: The mysterious M below confirms that the site says the patch is coming out on the 15th in Taiwan. Woot! Also, what's that festival about? Party time!

I've been hearing from various people that nov 13th was the date, i heard this the day after 2.2 drops.

I heard that blizz wants ZA and the BOJ items in the game and will use hotfixes to fix any minor problems that aren't addressed with the patch itself.

But that devs desire ZA to become live because it is finished and not be held back by minor issues.

Maybe what I hear is wrong, and it is rumor after all but I've been hearing the 13th for a long while.

I headed over to the taiwan site.

The wording is a bit confusing and my chinese is not superb. But this is what I got from it:

花火 is fireworks and it says there is a patch coming which introduces a celebratory event in-game for Taiwanese players to celebrate the anniversary of the game launching in taiwan. So we wont have it here. And that the patch will be coming out next week.

Great. Now maybe I'll start playing the game again. ^.^
