do you know if worldwide release will be midnight GMT? On May 15. Thanks in advance No, each region will have its own launch time(which is the same time for everyone based on the US time TROLLOLOLOLOL, FUCK YOU :hehe:). We'll be announcing them soon. (Source)

Fixed
I have to agree. WTF?!
theres more regions than just US and EU, and with this post deleted, again, we gotta wait and see whats going on
Congrats to Europe, that is good times indeed. I live in the same time zone as Blizzard but I am in no hurry for launch. I waited 10 years for this game, I can wait another 9 hours

Thanks for your continued reports. QA was able to reproduce this internally and brought it up to the Diablo III developers.
Here's where it gets interesting: The Treasure Goblin is apparently intended to drop global gold to kind of encourage the party to chase him. However, this is not accurately explained in-game, which is causing this player confusion. We also confirmed that the Treasure Goblin does not drop global items, only global gold.
The developers have decided to fix this bug and make the Treasure Goblin drop individual gold, but the fix will not make it for release. It should come in a future patch after release. I will add this bug to the Known Issues list for when the game comes out on May 15.
Thanks again for your reports, and know that this Beta feedback has helped change the game
Definitely want to add the blue post about the treasure goblin bug
so for Eastern Time people in the USA, are servers going live at 3:00am?
ie is the North America release at midnight Pacific Time for our whole regeion?

What's the problem of Europe is getting the game before? It is also getting to May 15th before.
Someone being able to play before you is really that disappointing? So just because you can't play before, no one else should?
If people are so worried about it, then try sleeping from GDT 0:00 to PDT 0:00 (9 hours) so when the game is released you can play it all night long without sleeping.
I'm only possibly being apt to play at about 19:00 at GMT -3 (15:00 pdt) and I don't even care that all the world have played for hours before me.
So with Global Play, what's going to stop every American from simply selecting the Europe region at 6 PM on the 14th (east coast time) and logging in that way?
the fact that noone in the US will have an active game license is the thing stopping us.
Retailers wont sell until midnight, and Digital preorder does not activate as a game license until 12:01 PDT

I don't want to seem argumentative, but I don't think that is correct.
I've digitally pre-ordered, and my battle.net account shows an account status of 'active' and a region of 'global' under Diablo 3. This is the full game, not the beta.
The only thing I can't do yet is actually install the game client.
I am angered by this. Mostly because I want to play at the same time as everyone else. And I shall be waiting for the US servers to go live before I play. Only cause any friends of mine will be playing on the US servers too.

Which you wont be able to do until 12:01 PST when the key is fully active on your account, this was in the offical blog post (also worked like this for other digital preorders.
GIve me 1 sec to do an update with news and then ill update this post with the info =)

Ah...I had thought I read they were unlocking the game client install a couple days before launch since it didn't matter with no servers up. I must have misread something.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Do I install, sleep and wake up early and play all day.
