From the initial summer launch, to the 6 servers after that, and then to the current May launch, players' expectations for the launch time of the national server are getting higher and higher, and Blizzard also coincidentally released a blue sticker to announce the opening time of the new version.
A few days ago, Blizzard officially announced that the World of Warcraft Dark Heart patch will be released on May 7, and the Panda Man Mystery Remix will be released on May 16.
Perhaps because many players think that the Mystery of the Panda Man remix version is tailored by Blizzard for the national server, and Blizzard also specially added "global synchronization" in the blue sticker, so many players think that the national server is likely to be launched together with the Mystery of the Panda Man remix. What's more, the CTM version is also open on May 21, which should be deliberately arranged.
However, there are also some players who think that the Mystery of the Panda Man has nothing to do with the national server, on the grounds that Blizzard has already appeared in the remix of the Mystery of the Panda Man when it releases the 2024 version roadmap in December 2023, and whether the national server returns or not, it will not affect the launch of the Mystery of the Panda Man remix.
However, the problem is that from the official announcement of the national service and the revelations from all sides, it can be determined that Blizzard and NetEase were negotiating after Microsoft completed the acquisition last year.
When the 2024 roadmap was released in December last year, the two sides had basically finalized the continuation of the cooperation (Morgan and 36 Krypton both broke the news in December), so this remix of the Panda Man Mystery was originally intended to welcome the national uniform, but there was no specific time at that time.
Since it is to welcome the national server, and the remix version of the mystery of the panda man is a limited-time gameplay, then Blizzard and NetEase will naturally not let the national server miss it, so the national server will inevitably be launched during this period.
It can be clearly seen from the calendar of the test server that the duration of the remix of the Mystery of the Panda Man is May 16th - August 19th, which lasts for 3 months, and August 19th has already passed the beginning of autumn.
If NetEase and Blizzard are powerful enough, then it is not impossible for the national server to be launched on May 16 with the Panda Man Mystery Remix, even if it is not launched simultaneously, it will be launched in June.
From the 2024 game release plan, it can be seen that NetEase will release its own "Sixteen Sounds of Smoke and Clouds" in July, and there will be a top domestic masterpiece "Black Wukong" in August, and there will be no major work released in June.
Of course, the premise of all this is that NetEase and Blizzard can solve the problem of player accounts as soon as possible. Although Blizzard clearly stated in the player code that "the account belongs to Blizzard, and the player only has the right to use it", any player wants to get their account back, and whether there is an account or not has a great impact on returning to the pit, so only by solving the problem of the player's account as soon as possible can the national server be truly opened.
In short, the national server will definitely return within the remix version of the mystery of the panda man, and the fat brother is still more optimistic about June, and the relevant progress will be announced at the NetEase game conference on May 20 at the latest.
