Hopefully everyone who wonders Diablofans knows by now about the war effort to hit 1,000,000 "Likes" on the Diablo Facebook page. Every 25,000 more "Likes" the page gets Blizzard releases 2 screen shots, some we've seen, but some are brand spankin' new. Of corse we get the high resolution ones posted here on the home page for all to see. When the Diablo Facebook page hits 1,000,000 "Likes", Blizzard said they have something extra special for us, with no farther detail than that given to what it could be.
If you haven't done so already, head over to the Diablo Facebook page and help the cause!
So what do you think Blizzard will do when we hit the goal?
To spice things up I added a poll on when the 1,000,000 "Like" goal will be met!

I don't find a summer release realistic anymore. Sure, i'd love it, but i don't believe it's gonna happen.
The beta release is far more realistic around April, though, or even early May (before their conference). That would make a November-December release far more likely.

Yeah I've come to the same conclusion, they want to get it out before the end of the year but they'll be scrambling to pull that off (with the standard degree of blizzard polish).
id hope for a release of a unseen system but i think they'd do something lame like tell us what the other resources systems are called. To me they're all mana with different ways of regenerating
Unless they've actually prepared something to deliver, I don't think anything special will happen.
And least of all, beta date or anything of the like because I doubt the developers are regularly checking the diablo facebook page and going- 'Shit guys, we need to work faster now. These guys are getting closer to the 1 million likes faster than expected.'
Facebook is just being used as a free marketing tool. Nothing more.
Edit- But who knows by some strange coincidence that by the time we do get to the 1 million likes, they are ready to announce beta. :teehee:
I am expecting another screen shot and concept piece. It would be cool if they gave a target beta date or something, but come on really? lol... I'm guessing it will start sometime in September, or maybe late August. Or hell maybe even in October since it is near Halloween.
Give out a Million Beta Keys to each of the people that 'Liked' Diablo. I wish.

A Post Concerning The Real-Money Auction House:
"Except real money trading has always been present in Diablo 2. Except now it's going to be officially supported which will reduce scams, prevent the funding of the black market so your kids will no longer be exposed to dangerous life ruining drugs like the cancer causing marijuana."

call me crazy, but i think they're probably going to announce the beta date before Facebook hits 1,000,000.
Call me crazy, too, but I think you're right. If they want to release the game this year, after a six month beta, it's going to have to start pretty damn soon.
EDIT: I would imagine they'd give about a 2-month-or-so grace period if things go haywire.
Never......At the rate were going it will be like a year before we hit the main goal.

You can only hope they'll do something silly like that! =P

Wanna bet?

Really? That's all they did? Now I'm worries lol.. That also explains why since then they've only for 70k or so "Likes" since!
I'd be satisfied with that, that's a big deal after all.
