so i heard there is a blizzard conference call with investors on the 8th, and some people (as well as i) think they will finally announce the release date during this call because it makes sense for the time line and considering their last conference call angered investors (assumed :P) by telling them their cash cow is being delayed till next year so to gain back their confidence and reassure them id say this would be the perfect time to announce a release date, ONLY if the release date is in january, if its later then of course not.
does anyone have any information on when this conference call is taking place and where i can listen to it live? (if at all). any information is appreciated, thanks!

My prediction: "Diablo 3 Beta is running along nicely, we recently patched the beta client to introduce some of the changes we have been working on and are adding new people to the beta continually as we scale our server structure. The game is still slated for a Q1 2012 release (Possible month span.. probably not)."

Buuuut maybe we get something out of it
Seconded. I think they'll say a lot without giving anything new away like they usually do. I also doubt they'd give out a release date like this knowing that press people are listening in. I expect them to give a release date as their own flashy "Surprise!" news. IMO, having something so important that everyone is so impatient for trickle out from a conference call via fan news websites would seem as disappointing as a wet fart.
Thirded!
I tought I'd ask Santa for a copy of D3, now I'm going to ask Santa for a release date.
No we are absolutely NOT getting a release date, we're just getting confirmation that it's still on track for "early 2012", I doubt we'll even get a Q1 confirmation
Well, you really need to stop giving yourself false hope and aim for the worse. You'll avoid alot of deceptions. As to them announcing the official release date, i don't see it happening soon. They just removed all the unique and set item stats from diablo website and are remaking them, potions changed as well and they are still in the process of balancing everything... And tweaking skills. That can take awhile.
Well, you really need to stop giving yourself false hope and aim for the worse.
I kinda feel like this...expect the worst and you won't be disappointed when you hear the worst. That is one thing I didn't do when they said they aimed for a 2011 release. I was 100% we'll get a 2011 release and when they pushed it back, I was very very, very disappoint...
So no release date announcement at the conference call. Even no new info, they will not say anything regarding the runestone development, maybe just that's going as planned and still on schedule for a early 2012 release.
I'd rather not get hyped up over another conference call and have it fall short of what I'm expecting lol.
I'm going to expect nothing from this and say they will announce the release date probably in December.

Didnt' they say "Q1 2012" and not "early 2012"?
I doubt we will get a release date on this call. My guess is a release date of sometime in March, announced sometime in January.
Besides, there are -so- many games coming out between now and the release of Diablo 3. Go enjoy one of them, lol (Skyrim this Friday anyone?)
I just think it's incredibly difficult for them to announce the release right now. I think these are the things that are left on the table for them and I personally don't think they can get them resolved before January or have a set time table on it yet:
1. The balancing of skills/passives which they seem to have just really started to do.
2. The full development and completion of affixes, suffixes AND Legendary items.
3. The rune system.
Now, those things don't seem like they would take a ton of time. But it is Diablo, the whole game is based off of items, so that one is obviously huge. The game will also be received by fans a lot worse if skills come out unbalanced and they are doing heavy modification once released.
Also, the rune system IS Diablo 3. It is the biggest part of customization and the latest, greatest thing added to the series. I have a feeling they are going to want to have faith that they did it the right way.
I am still guessing March is when we'll get the game, with the announcement of release date made very late this year/very early next year.
I think if the Jan. 17th date that we saw in the "leaked" email that had all the Blizzcon details is correct, then announcing that date during tomorrow's conference call is a good possibility.
If they don't announce a date tomorrow then I suspect the Jan. 17th date was fabricated or the date has been pushed back to Feb/Mar. =(
