I'm sure most of you are already aware, a lot of Diablo III Beta information has been leaked over the long weekend. As crazy as this may sound, no, the Friends & Family Beta has not started yet. Unfortunately, while Blizzard has stripped the actual data out of the client, it seems as if the Stringlist files (text) for everything past Act I still remain in the client. That in mind, it's very simple to datamine some information that spoils the story progression, for example, the secret level and the end of the game. When I first stumbled upon this information myself a week or two ago, I knew it was bound to come out sometime, I just assumed that we'd have a little bit more time before it did actually come out. Regardless, being in the official fansite program, I would prefer not to leak information that isn't already out on the net (yes, there is still information that has yet to be found), however it is our job on DiabloFans to keep the player base informed of all the happenings with the game. Here are some recent topics about the leaks:


And there are a ton more threads within our forums. All I ask is that you please be courteous when talking about lore and what not, use spoilers and spoiler warnings to forewarn people. As far as our news goes, as I stated previously, we will be keeping you informed of the current buzz within the community.

I don't mean to be an ass, but... Even without clicking any links I noticed two spoilers in your post, Sixen. Both being locations. One's in the middle of the text above the links, the other being in the 9th link. Granted that the first one was expected by pretty much everyone, it was still unconfirmed.

So is that just a speculated official release date or is that straight from the Devs?

Hard to believe they would tell you guys when they claim they don't even have a beta date yet.

Are you sure of that or is it just a guess, becouse the deleted topic from Blizzard beta page that was posted from Baalrok sure looked like the Beta F&F has started.

Speculated. Devs didn't officially state anything, it's just a bit of meta info attached to the .exe

Oh woah. I know it's not what one is supposed to do. But I actually just registered to say that it's pretty damn shitty of´Sixen to actually spoil information in his text, not giving a shit if we actually want to read any of them.
Providing links to something is one thing and totally fine, outright spoiling stuff within the text (as Runner55 already mentioned) is another thing. Just so stupid.

[color=#A18E73]I respect that you mention these leaks considering how tight Bizzard PR is with their "soft fansites" like this one.

To my mortal eyes, there were soem things that were leaked which are perfectly fine, and some that I will never read.

[u]Things that I think should have been officially announced/recognized or are good to know:[/u]
-[b] [/b]General information, like the runestone effects and item affixes. These are not spoilers because you're bound to google them anyway when deciding midgame/endgame builds.
- Release date hints
- Screenshots
- Music

[u]Things that I won't read too much or at all[/u]:
- Storyline
- Endgame encounters

Good show though boys, this game should be spectacular! [img]http://www.diablofans.com/public/style_emoticons/default/tyrael.png[/img][/color]

If and when giving away beta keys, account creation seniority should apply. =)

Lots and lots of info here. I'm with Peace though, won't read anything related to boss encounters, quests or anything regarding the story. Everything else, sure thing :)!

I'm sorry that you weren't aware that the story would be ending at some point and there would be a secret level. I thought that the story would come to an end was obvious. And easter eggs are also a given.

Not touching the spoiler-ish links, this game is too awesome to be found out without playing it through. Good job though!

Feeling a bit guilty here. :/ Of course we all know the story will end, but I for one had no idea that [spoiler]playing in heaven was part of it.[/spoiler]
I guess we agree on easter eggs [spoiler](ie secret level)[/spoiler] though.

Heard enough speculation about what is to come, enough to wet my appetite, but thats it... cant wait for the beta! (optimistic that i will actually get in it.. :S )
Does anybody really know what time it is?
Does anybody really care?
