How do players respond? Depending on where you look at the comments, there are different reactions to the announcement. In the World of Warcraft subreddit the delay is primarily viewed positively. It is often pointed out that the additional time could be helpful.
- “Part of me is disappointed, another part is glad that they are taking it seriously. Basically, I am shocked that they actually delayed it. This is a big deal.”
- “This is actually a positive sign from Blizzard. I am glad they are doing this.”

It looks different on wowhead, Facebook, or also in our user comments on MeinMMO. There, the opinions are mixed and often trend more negatively. For example:
- “I hope the loud minority that has complained about everything is now satisfied.”
- “It was clear. In times like these, one has much more time for such things and still doesn’t get it done. Well, GZ then.”
- “Ridiculous! If they know they won’t be finished, they shouldn’t throw out a date! I see this as real baiting to fill the coffers in advance!” – Gato on MeinMMO
But here too, there are always positive comments and understanding for delaying the expansion once more.
