Ep9 come out on the 16th actually, my fear comes from the fact that its date was annouced on the 5th, 11 days before the release.
Today is the eleventh day before 01/12, so thats why I'm worried that the date still hasnt been annouced.
A december release is no surprise, I've been expecting it for over a month at this point.
Sure, a week or two doesn't make a difference for we who waited for a basically a year, but the nearer we are from the update, the worst the wait is for me.
I really hope for a release next friday, but I'm losing hope fast.
