"So it's time for WoW Insider to do you all a favor.  It seems like whenever we attempt to predict the timing of a certain patch, Blizzard ignores whatever we say, and drops it right away.  With patch 2.2, we predicted in early September that it would take \"weeks\" longer, maybe even last November, and instead they had it out within the month.  And with patch 2.3, we guessed that Blizzard wouldn't drop it before Thanksgiving, and just hours later they proved us wrong, and released it before the holiday.So here you go: with everything we've seen on the forums lately, including the CMs a little giddy with excitement, and all of the news that dropped last week, we're going to officially predict that patch 2.4 will drop on the PTRs this coming Tuesday, and that it will hit the live realms sometime in early March (probably before Noblegarden, which starts on March 23rd).There.  Now, Blizzard has plenty of chances to prove us wrong by releasing the PTR sometime this week, and getting the patch out to live realms before March 1st.  That's our favor to you-- if Blizzard follows their past pattern, they'll make us completely wrong again, and get you on the PTR and in the patch even sooner than we thought."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
