I'm wondering when it's coming out because I saw that BRF is coming out this week and I Know a lot of people thought 6.1 would come with it, so anybody have a good guess as to when it will release based on something? Thanks.

Because BRF isn't part of 6.1.

Correct. We've been seeing a bunch of confusion about this, so let me try to clarify as best as I can:

The opening of Blackrock Foundry is completely independent of the release of Patch 6.1. At roughly 10AM Pacific time tomorrow, the entrance to Blackrock Foundry will activate, and you'll be able to zone in and start killing stuff. No patch necessary.

Similarly, any of the new changes or features listed in the Patch 6.1 PTR notes will not be live until Patch 6.1 actually releases. That includes the Heirlooms collection, stage 4 crafted gear, new follower missions, various talent buffs, and the updated Blood Elf model. Any changes made prior to the release of Patch 6.1 (including balance changes and bugfixes) will be noted in our Patch 6.0.3 Hotfix Blog.
