Bashiok just made a post asking fans to submit their Diablo 3 questions for future installments of BlizzCast. You might even get to hear your own voice in the cast! Here's all the details you need to know:
We are once again looking for fan-submitted questions to answer in future episodes of BlizzCast.
If you have a question you want to get to us, please send an email with the subject line "BlizzCast Q&A" to the email address BlizzCast@Blizzard.com and you can include a name/character along with a location/realm if you'd like for us to refer to you during the show if your question is picked.
You can also attach a recording of your question to this email if you want to hear your voice in the cast! If you send in a recording make sure it is very clear and easy to understand. We recommend including a typed out version of the question in the email as well to ensure it is properly interpreted.
While we won't be able to get to every one of them, we want to keep you updated on whatever aspects are most important to you.
Thanks for your help and be sure to tune into future BlizzCasts (http://us.blizzard.com/blizzcast/) to see if your question was answered!
So if there are any Diablo questions you've been dying to get answered, this is a great chance to make that happen. So send your questions in. Good luck all!
1. Will any former bosses from Diablo 1 or Diablo 2 be on it.
2. Will the current stamina method be used.
3. Will there be times of day (e.g. daytime, nighttime)
4. Will the same channel/game making/game joining layout be used. (answer any you like, or all)
5. Will there be a High-score table similar to Diablo 2's.
6. Will there be no way farcast (fc) can be accessible (I'm against it)
7. Will the same chat system, in-game (enter, type, enter) be used?
8. Will the same friend requests, party requests, and other sub-features pertaining to these be used.
9. Will the same trade system be used. (I was unsure if this has been answered)
Considering what Bashiok has previously said about the cow level, I bet the chances are low, or at least it won't be as big of a deal as it was in Diablo 2.

3. Will there be times of day (e.g. daytime, nighttime)
Bashiok was asked this before: "Not that I know of."
I have a question. Why are the outdoor environments cartoony while the dungeons are realistic?

What is normal? Normal is a concept that everyone or a majority of people are the same or similar. However, we know that everyone is unique. If everyone is unique, then everyone is different. If everyone is different, then everyone is weird. If everyone is weird, then everyone is normal.
1. How many players can play in 1 game?
2. How many realms will there be? hopfully theres a few so everyone can play.
3. Information about dueling? can anyone PVP anyone at anytime?
4. What is the next game viewer going to be like? is it BETTER? not wait 3 seconds and random games come up.
5. will there be ladder/non-ladder again? nl-ladder split to many people up.
How do you plan on balancing the value of rare, unique and set items? Will it be possible for each to be more powerful than the other two? Or will one overpower the other two, like runewords did in D2?

1. What PvP plans are in the making for Diablo 3? Will the game even attempt to support anything close to organized and/or competitive play?
2. If #1, how do you guys plan on making group PvP interesting considering the fact that for the most part each class is a standalone class that does not necessarily mesh with a group (ie: no healers or supporters)? Will duels be the only place for PvP in Diablo 3?
3. How will Diablo deal with 3rd party programs (ie: map hack)?
4. Will "re-speccing" be allowed and how will that system work?
5. Will there be world events or construct made to pique the interest of the entire social network of Diablo players (perhaps forcing them to band together or against each other)?
6. Will there be a diverse selection of items viable in the end-game? Or will it follow a WoW-type paradigm where there is one end-all-be-all set for each class?
7. How do you guys plan on balancing PvP with respect to PvE and vice versa? Will they be segregated or will you attempt to seamlessly intertwine the two (often opposing) ideals of PvE and PvP?
8. And most importantly...can you hook me up with that internship at Blizzard? =P
I only have lore questions, but I know they won't answer them.
Yea my main concern is also on the lore. I WANT TO KNOW IT SO BADLY!!!

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
I honestly can't think of anything to ask that they would actually answer. They are always so vague unless the material has already been discussed. So, I guess my only questoin is when is the next update. Although they probably wouldn't answer that either...
I was kidding about that. It's only the most frequently asked question that they have responded to over 20 times I think. It was asked twice during the same Q&A session at Blizzcon... With equal enthusiasm both times. The first time was set up though. The very first question they answered was an inside guy. I can tell because the Blizzcon site was updated before that Q&A, and it contained that exact quote with the answer already.
So if there are any Diablo questions you've been dying to get answered, this is a great chance to make that happen. So send your questions in. Good luck all!

Thank-you for your consideration.
Bashiok was asked this before: "Not that I know of."
I can already answer this for Blizzard:
"Who knows?"

At blizzcon they said respeccing will be in the game but they have not designed the system yet.
I hope if these questions(ones in the thread) get sent to blizzard for blizzcast the person choosing will not pick questions already answered.

Big ass LOL.
But seriously, before submitting a question, PLEASE PLEASE OH PLEASE, do the world a favor and make sure it hasn't been FUCKING ANSWERED ALREADY.

I believe they said something about saving your progress where you are, rather than going back and forth to town.
