Now this is just not fair. Talk about contradicting your own rules. When other people posted this "speculation" of a release date on the forums all those topics were blocked. Why do you have the rite to post this and we do not?
I disagree with what you are saying. I think it's a good thing they posted this - on the main page where a lot of people where see it - because too many people are seeing fake release dates and getting super excited and spreading it around thinking it's a real release date. This post is bringing to attention that a lot of these dates are indeed fake, and people need to watch out for them. Basically telling all those gullible people out there to smarten up and stop being silly.
I guess there is a difference when someone posts a thread saying OMG THIS IS THE RELEASE DATE! vs when someone posts a thread saying it's speculation. Either way, I think the comments in those threads always end up going in the same direction anyway.
As for me, I'm not believing any release date until I hear it from Blizzard. I didn't know when to expect the game originally, and when the beta started in Sept, I had a guess in my head that it would come out in March 2012, based on something that Jay Wilson had said (that the Beta will start 6 months before release). I was actually surprised when they said originally they wanted it out this year and they had to push it back. I had no idea they wanted it to come out so soon. So really, I think it'll come out sooner than I expected, which is nice for me.
Yes, but the thing is I did post a thread called exactly: "Speculation: Potential Diablo 3 Release Date".

But that got blocked, it had the exact same intention as this thread does and did not for one minute say that the release date was true. So as you can see, I do feel kind of betrayed by the fact that this thread was created stating that the release date was merely "speculation" and that the moderator who blocked my thread said that the rules do not permit "speculation" threads. So, I stick with my case. =)

I don't mean it as a complete overhaul lol. What I mean is just a few changes and additions. eg: A few new areas that run off from current areas (additional side quests that promote their existence), new npcs that come along with these new areas, extra bits of side lore such as travelers' experiences, a few new side dungeons here and there, additional monster, etc...
Just some stuff not effecting the main story that could add more interest in the game and frankly, wouldn't you be happy about some new stuff like this after having gone through the same thing over and over? =)

5. Jay Wilson did state (i can't remember where though) that Blizzard did in fact intend to apply optional dueling in the world, but it won't be an expansion, most probably just a patch...
6. I don't really want this (at least not until I try the game out and see how a group of 4 goes)... Also the Blizzard team most probably won't apply this, giving reasons that the screen becomes to messy.

Hmmm... You might be right, didn't really think of it that way. Maybe they could have small additions in normal difficulty, but as you achieve nightmare and beyond, the additions become larger to the point where environments are changing quite EPIC-ly! (if they don't already have that in the release...)
I completely agree with you here, something I forgot to add. New runes, gems and items... As well as possibly that talisman system they revealed early on in development, would be totally awesome!!! =)

Your right about Act 1 getting boring. I am an idiot for watching so many Diablo 3 beta videos that I am already kind of bored of that section of the content hehe. So to play it over and over with many different characters will just enhance that "not again" feeling of the first 3rd of Act 1... So a few fresh changes to these parts will be very welcome in any expansions.
Also, I heard Blizzard mention that they would be making expansions within 3 years of release. Knowing Blizzard, its possibly going to be right at that 3 year mark. So I really hope they manage to dish out an expansion about a year and a half after release. =)

That's exactly right. I started this topic just to give us something more positive to discuss while we wait for the real thing to be upon us hehe. Doesn't matter if we don't know what the story has in store for us, just have fun with it and make up stuff . =)

Why bring pessimism here? This is a topic for what people would like to see in future expansions of Diablo 3. Go be a party pooper somewhere else please.

I want to know what you guys would like to see in any expansions of Diablo 3. It could be the first expansion, second expansion, one hundredth expansion or all of them together. =)
I'll start:
In first expansion of Diablo 3 I would love -
1. New act (bigger than any previous act)
2. New class or 2
3. Seeing as Blizzard want Diablo to be the last boss, it can be that he managed to survive in Act 4, acquires more powers and ends up at the end of Act 5. =)
4. Increased max level (possibly level 80) with more skills! =)
5. Additional changes to the first 4 acts; change their aesthetics and story here and there, to make them renewed in a way that would make people really want to play through them again even though it would have probably been done over a hundred times before the next expansion. I want the expansion to bring a real living dynamic feel with it, giving the world of Sanctuary new life in the new act and old ones (change in environments, new monsters, new npcs, new areas, new mini bosses, potentially a new big boss - all in the first 4 acts).
Your turn. =)

Yeah, that makes sense when you base it off the current game. But what about when they add expansions and more classes, 5 won't be enough for all the classes, only for the original classes. So yeah, 4 is enough i'd say. =)

Yeah. But even if they listed the CE for digital download I would still buy a hard copy. I want the box and all the physical stuff hehe!
I've been waiting 10+ years for this game, I'm not saving a penny when it comes to taking the full experience. I don't mind waiting a few days after release to play it, I've already waited a long time, a few days won't be anything compared to that. =)

I'm not sure about the collectors edition, it isn't listed yet...
However, I would think it has to do with shipping from one country to another which determines how much a store is selling anything really. Since the Diablo 3 is made in America, the shipping of the game to stores within America is a lot less than that of other countries, and is why it is more expensive in most other countries. =)
I know that definitely I will be getting the CE - from seeing CE's of other games being around $150 AU - I would expect Diablo 3 CE to be around the same.

Too bad my net is really slow atm, so I cannot watch any of the videos. =(

An easier solution would be to add some sought of magic item (like the nephalamic cube) that allows players to store runestones within, being separate to inventory space. =)
