January 2024, then what? October 2024? 10 months?

This is nothing. You should have played WoW from Wrath to Legion. Now those were long spans between patches.

If there's nothing holding your interest in this game until Dawntrail comes out, there are plenty of other games to play. Give some of them a try. You have YoshiP's blessing.

As someone who was still playing during the SoO drought... things here are a breeze.

You and me have been forged in the flames of boredom hell and this "drought" ain't nothing.

Yeah I only actively played WoW from launch to MoP but I know it definitely colored my tolerance toward patch timelines. We were waiting forever with just faction grinding to keep us busy if we could tolerate it and then nothing once we had finished that. WoW release schedules were their own meme.

To the OP, they already said expansion launch would be in the summer. And since it sounds like they're back on the normal schedule, it most likely be mid to late June for early access and then actual launch in early July. 6.55 will be late January they just said in the LL, so about 5 months give or take.

Make that 3 of us I played from late vanilla through mid BfA. I am well tempered to long waits.

The Moonfaire 2023 outfit gives me some hope, at least. I've also been hoarding my artifact helmets and hats.

I'm hoarding some of the hard-to-get dungeon hats for my Viera, but artifacts would be a waste of space.

Artifact gear (except maybe upgraded Anemos gear) is the least worthwhile thing to be hoarding. You can repurchase it all easily, or even have it handed to you for free in the case of the 80 and 90 sets.
