its just typical blizzard to always "early 2012" and they give it to us late april and says "well its still on the Early SIDE of 2012 right? i mean it could have been LATE 2012..
If you consider what we have been seeing from the interwebs , manuals , posters and now the Germans news , i think we can expect the game mid march ...
The so called big system changes can very well by patched when you install the game for the first time so , yes late Feb- mid march for sure

Déjà vu? I know I've read this in another thread already...
If you ask me, they announced the game WAY too early, beta was rushed, I just don'tunderstand what is taking so long.
They say they are "polishing" it, but I'm sorry for it to take this long, something gamebreaking or legal happened, and if that is the case, my guess is something legal happened, they have stated Diablo 3 will be the first game to released all around the world at the same time...and with all these Korea shit going on, I'll bet thats the cause for the delay, they are having to change something to "impress" the koreans.
Tradition dictates this manner.
Diablo II was initially announced to be released sometime in 1998, when in reality it was released June 2000.
This.
I remember the Diablo II wait as being far more grueling than this wait.
That said, my guess is late March. We'll get the announcement at the end of this month.
In my opinion the latest we're going to get a release date will be the end of March or the first week of April. That's assuming that they're going to try to release in the first half of 2012. I wonder if they want to release it in June for sentimental reasons?

they might simply opt for early April or late March this year.... it'll make for better sales figures in 2Q 2012 and the game would pick up enough steam to have people spend their cash behind it for the summer months. Where was that timeline of Blizzard games again?

Mike@Uruvion8 sty @BlizzardCS I met a Gamestop employee today that promised that --/--/12 was the release date, he also claimed that it was all over the site.
@Uruvion Not sure what site he was referring to, but we have not officially announced the release date for Diablo3 yet.
haha Ive got u ! J willson say they they dont have release date here they say that they have not officially announced the release
Don't put twist his words. You all clearly knows he means that they did not announce anything with drums and trumpets and nerdgasm.
People are looking so much everywhere, under every stone, that they see everything as a "SIGN OF RELEASE" oh ... it remembers me something, oh right, when people were waiting for Beta.
according to these projections and with the delay in diablo 3, its going to be coming out right before/around when mists of pandaria come out... thats really bad for sales so they willl obviously delay that and piss off more customers. lolol

This slate's data is outdated already. I think wow fans should be happy, if they can get MoP before x-mass. Right now Blizz will be happy, if they can give us D3 "Soon" and HotS by the end of summer.

MOP will be out before Xmas. End summer is my best bet.
The problem with WoW is they cannot delay the game for too long. No content = loss of sub. Being in a no content period is being in a low sub period.
The last patch was released early september and that is THE LAST patch with content before MOP. WoW will take a huge blow if they go 1 year without additional content. As a side note they promised they won't redo what happened with icecrown citadel that actually lasted 1 year, and icecrown was a longer instance than dragon soul is, Dragon soul is already on farm level.
So really they have to work on this one and give MOP end Q3 early Q4.
04.2012 thats correct date Imo . U will see in few weeks
This. I so sincerely believe and hope.
considering what that mod said about "have no good info to share, D3 still doesnt have a release date" AFTER that meeting, i dont expect a release date announcement this month.

Well, the period between release date announcement and launch could be anywhere between 1 and 4 months, most likely 2 which is why I went with april, seeing as how it's two months from february. I have nothing to prove this, it's just a guess I made last year when things fell through then, one I want to be right about
By the way isn't march a good period for releases ? I mean there are always a lot of good games released in march but compared to november (for xmas) i'm not sure why.

I read last year that games come out in March because they don't want to compete for Holiday sales, I am sure that is true for some games. However March is one of the reasons I want to when D3 is coming out so badly. There are a lot of games coming out in March I'm interested in but I have to make sure i save my money for D3 and I won't be interested in much else when I get D3. I'd hate to buy a couple games in March then hear "Diablo only a couple weeks away!"
Also on that Subject, getting D3 out during or before March could prove beneficial to Blizzard. If you think about the casual players who might pick up D3, they are a lot less likely to do so if there are a bunch of other releases around the same time.
The release date of an article that will reveal the release date of an announcement that will reveal the release date of Diablo 3 will be March 14, 2012.
All the tinkering I've done on the world wide web has finally revealed inexorable fact, proving March 14th do be the date of said announcement. Here is the evidence:
1. March 14th will host the Conjugation of Jupiter and Venus - source
2. On March 14th, Billy Crystal will be EACTLY 68 years old - source
3. The number of days between the 15th anniversary of Diablo and March 14th is equal to the number of hairs I have on the bottom of my feet - source (actually a picture of my right foot)
It doesn't take a genius to see the obvious signs here, which all point to March 14th being said release date. If you are confused, just remember the Pythagorean Theorem.
today : 01/13/2012
finishing major overhaul : 2months
polishing : 2months
stuff they do before release and after game is finished : 2months
my estimate is we'll play Diablo III in July
If the major overhaul needs some other overhaul because it "doesn't feel perfect yet", add 6 months (january 2013, or december 2012 if lucky).
My 2 cents...
LOL. i find it gut-busting hilarious when people seriously think its going to come out in the summer, let alone past the summer into 2013. we'll all be playing by may at the latest, you can bet your life on that.

Touche. I find it equally amusing that people think it will be out in march or even april. Mid June i think is the most likely if things go well. More overhauls, while unexpected, if they happen, could easily delay into 2013.

To each their own, and only time will tell.
while this makes me laugh i guess your setting yourself up for a nice surprise? because when it comes out in march-april you'll be like "wooopIE!" as to where ill just be like "i knew it" lol.
but really? thinking the beta will run for 14+ months? rofl...
