I'm playing a barb first time, and playing through really slow, I want to make sure I check every possibly thing. I'm also probably gonna run every act twice before moving to the next so I don't fall behind in gear. I predict most people will have to run the game through nightmare at least 5-10 times to comfortably beat hell. It will be even harder to get to inferno. I don't want you to be able to just do normal>nightmare>hell>farm inferno all in one week. I want it to be HARD to progress to the next difficulty. You should have to do normal like 5 times before you're ready to do nightmare.
I hope that you're right. I'd hate to run right through hell on the first try. Now, I probably wouldn't mind crawling through hell at an extremely slow pace....
I plan on rolling a Monk first. He's pretty much always been my class of choice. My only worry is that he won't be able to take down big bosses as well as the Barbarian, but I guess we will see. The only boss we've seen, the Skeleton King, is easily kited by the wizard and demon hunter, and the dogs can keep him off of the witch doctor. The Monk just seems more fun the way he dances all around. I wish I could decide on a name though.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news (for you) but players are supposed to be ~60 by the time they wrap up hell. Just getting through the first third of the first act in the first difficulty gets you like what, level 8 or higher with one clear?

Basically. I'd say a closer guess would be level 56-60 just depending on what you've done, your +exp gear, things like that. They said it won't be exact because of how random the game is.
Keep in mind though just because you're level 60 doesn't mean you're ready for Inferno. Everything in Inferno is level 60+ so your gear is going to need a good amount of fine tuning.
Dude, you have inspired me to pick up HCC as one final experience before D3 (esp now with the delay). I had a 90 blizzsorc on hc a long time ago so I have some experience at least. The unique item setups are a huge plus for me.. the game isn't dominated by a few runewords/uniques. I'm sure HCC is mostly about the sick rares? Do you just run chaos sanc?? What barb build is safest? WW can bugout for insta death, high risk for hc.
Send me a PM here or u can just go to useast and chill in op HCC (ours) and play in and out from there... you'll find misc/generic players in op dcs- or op occ... if you may know some softcore people you can try op ley-
Barb will not get you far outside of public games, unless you are willing to put in the time for a chantbot. Are you familiar with multiclient(loader) or sandbox? My account is time4war but we hardly xp now, poneeeeeeee is our teamchar this season. Reset is 28th apparently, we will go hard once again, you're welcome to join us for games till we start 2/8 quite a bit @ 93+ =)
edit - btw we are banned in op dcs- and occ =) like I said prior, you will see how the herd operates ^^ those kids ruined the community once I left for korea and stopped playing for a while. Play w/e you prefer honestly, any class besides zon can do work.
I'm stuck between the DH and the monk...not so sure which one i will try out first, but if i make a monk u better believe ill be naming him chuck norris ^-^
Chances are not many people will be rushing through the game in their first few playthroughs. I'm going to go ahead and guess that XP will also scale with party size accordingly, and while you may not track down every single mob I doubt the difference in xp lost will be too significant. I have a feeling nearly everyone will be 56-60 by the time they clear hell, first time clear of every area or close to it.
If you want to grind the same content 5 times before continuing on softcore I suggest at least playing through on a new class each time so the xp keeps flowing.
