Does anyone know when its going to be released some say end of this month others end of the year?
 
Nobody knows.

Fact is there is as yet, no beta announced. Blizzard spends an inordinate amount of time on beta testing and QA. Burning Crusade, if memory serves, had a beta period of over 6months, i think closer to 9. If Wrath is thus still in development and has yet to enter beta testing, it is still a long, long way off. My guess, best bet is, if they announced the beta today, then we'd possibly see a November launch, more likely Q1 2009.
 
No chance it will be out end of the month.
Closed Beta hasn't even started yet.
 
Yeah, i just saw this myself. Indicative of a beta announcement soon? I think so. the original Wrath URL also got 'leaked' and lead to a 404 rather about a week or so before the announcement.

It's all speculation, but that's half the fun :P.

Alright, this is only the ghost of a hint, but at this point I'll take what I can get with anything that looks reminiscent of a Wrath of the Lich King beta. A tipster known only as "Anonymous" wrote in to let us know that the URL http://beta.worldofwarcraft.com is active, and redirects to http://beta.worldofwarcraft.com/game/character-copy.html. The logical conclusion is that this page is meant to let (authorized) people transfer characters for some sort of beta. And what's coming up that might be beta-tested? Wrath.

Right now, the address returns a "403 Forbidden" page, but obviously, someone at Blizzard HQ bothered to set up the "beta" subdomain and make it redirect to something. Any address on beta.worldofwarcraft.com seems to redirects to that "character-copy" page. Remember, a "forbidden" URL was our first real confirmation that Wrath of the Lich King was going to be the title of the expansion, so we've gotten information this way before. There's still no telling how long it'll take until a beta is available to us, as this page may well just apply to an interior beta, but this might be a clue that we're getting closer. Does this mean there won't be a patch 2.5?

Nice. If Closed Beta is starting then we can definitely expect some new info on what's coming up.
 
Yep...

I still agree with Khayne

Beta testing TBC worked out very nicely
