This is a big rumor, not only considering it concerns Wrath of the Lich King, but additionally considering we’ll know the truth of that rumor in a couple of days. The rumor we’re concerned about has everything to do with Wrath’s closed beta, which is supposedly going to start sometime in July.

The story begins with German website Allvatar (linked below), which originally reported that the Wrath closed beta would start on July 3rd. Apparently, Gnorog, a German community manager, said that community managers were recently given permission to announce a closed beta for Wrath beginning on the said moment.

As always, WoW fans got wind of that on the American forums and began asking the same question. Bornakk responded by saying,  “We will supply further info on our forums when details on a beta analyzing phase are ready. For now we have no period to supply regarding that,” ending the discussion by locking the thread (external link).

Following that, it seems Allvatar got to talk to Vaneras by the phone. According to their second update, the closed beta will start sometime in July. They additionally have an additional update explaining how they came across their data.

Overall, we’re not certain what to compose of that. We certainly are excited at the prospect of a closed beta happening in July, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed. That being said, until Blizzard makes a beta official we’re remaining cautiously optimistic.
