Well according to Wowhead, Wrath is right around the corner. Actually, thats according to Blizzard says Wowhead who is running an offical Blizzard advertisement. Interesting they decided to break the news this way, makes me think Wowhead may have jumped the gun abit.
EDIT: A blue reply to the issue states that until there is an official post, nothing is for certain. Then again…the ad does look pretty official and I can’t imagine wowhead.com (an official wow fan site) trying to pull off a major hoax so I would bet 2000g that the date is real. Whether or not Blizzard sticks to that date is yet to be seen.
Anyway I dropped in a simple counter in the top of my side bar. Each day it it will count down till we reach 11/13! I’ll work on it more when I have time but tonight I’m going to have to pretend I can sleep.
If you’d like to have a counter like this on your own site please check out:

Here is a better countdown. You can also put that on your site

@Lixumos “Better” is subject to interpretation. I created my countdown to have a very low profile and fit within most anyone’s blog by designing it with simple text. Your “better” countdown requires a black background (which few wow blogs I know of have) and it takes up a 600×800 space within someones site. And thats a lot of screen space. You’d have to devote an entire page or entire post to displaying that count down. If graphics are more important then compatibility, then by all means…use your countdown.
So while I’m going to leave the link active to your countdown (that you wish to advertise through my site), I would ask that you phrase it not as “better” but as an “alternative” countdown.

Okay… an alternative.
