When Bashiok flew up to the EU last month he was carrying the server files with him. End of story. Shortly after he was there the eu beta server went live. Plus it makes more sense to send ur most trusted CM with an external HDD than to courier it there (case in point: the alleged leak of release dates via the italian branch).

Did you seriously believe that ? There is far better solution than send a CM (which work is not deploying version) carry an external HDD with diablo source ? omg why not sending the sourcecode by mail ?

Deployment is not handle in either of these way, sorry to bother

Thank you for sacrificing your own cat for this divination. April 17th it is!

Actually, I heard all future discourse and data transfers to the EU will be done by Morse Code.  Sorry guys. but:

Wich type of morse ? Sound based or light based. Maybe i could hack the source code

[Donderion]

No way it will be so ''soon'', i wouldn't count on anything 2 months before release date and since we still don't have that it's best possible / optimistic opinion to be something in begining of may which is also really hard, what we can hope for is that it will be something in Jun and that it doesn't get delayed again, but April, come on, it's march already, lets be at least a little realistic.

[Zhaph]

I agree that April seems waaaay too early, especially given that they've said they'd post a release date 2 months ahead of the release. What about Jay's tweet that can't debunk or confirm the Italian website's date, though? Also, beta patch 13 was pushed on the 18th of February, and if Blizzard released that patch knowing that it'd be the last one, it's possible that they've already started pressing DVDs.

They've mentioned in the past that they want to run the release the same as WoW's Cataclysm, which allowed players to download the client so they could run it when it launched at midnight. This would allow for last-minute, minor patches to be applied as well, so if the game's 98% done at the moment, that could be a way of getting out that last 2% without making the fan base wait for manufacturing time. As far as printing boxes/box art goes, that's probably been finished for months.

So, IF (and that's a big IF, keep in mind) some or all of the outlined scenario is true, April 17th or shortly thereafter could still be a viable possibility. Again though, the only reason I'm personally compelled to engage in this much speculation is Jay's mysterious tweet... they've been so quick about crushing release date rumors in the past, so why not "debunk" this one...?

seems like there is a lot of hype around a blizzard announcement and the same week theres the apple ipad 3 announcement,  would be cool if d3 would be on ipad....  most unlikely though.
