原文如下：(来自Gone Gold Forum)
Theres official word posted on the beta forums that theCommunityManager (Katricia) has center. No indication given whethershe quit,was fired, and whether or not it relates to the nextpiece ofinfo.
I only have confirmation through one source, but I consideritreliable. Vivendi dropped a bomb on Blizz today, mandatingthatthere will be a code freeze on 9/16, a gold date of 10/16 andageneral release in Novr. Evidently theyre not doing sowellfinancially and want Blizzard/WoW to bail them out in thefourthquarter.
Again, this is one person at Blizzards take as reported to me,Ihavent seen any actual memos or anything. Its a shame, though,asI cant imagine how they could possibly wrap up all thenewcontent, features, artwork, music, etc. etc. thats planned ANDfixthe bugs (that are barely noticeable when youre playing forfree,but not acceptable in a pay-to-play game from my perspective)injust a month and a half. It looks to me like Blizzard willlikelyrelease a game thats 10x more finished than OTHER games ofthegenre, yet wont actually live up to the standard of Blizz gamesinterms of being complete. What a shame.
大意如下：
暴雪老板Vivendi近日下了最后通牒：要求WOW程式在9.16完成，10.16开始压盘生产，11月正式发行。这表明游戏公司现在财政压力很大，需要尽快通过发布WOW来收回投资并赢利。作者对还有1个半月的时间加入更多内容修正bugs等工作表示怀疑，“作为一个免费的游戏（beta），它还过得去，但要我们掏钱来玩，差距还不小”
这么说，如果发行在11月，在中国11月内测的消息也比较能接受了
