You know they keep pushing the dates back and back. Recently they fired their lead director and now they have done a bunch of rebalances. I remember around christmas time when they swore up and down that the release date would be 21 March. Now I'm a sad panda LOL. I just hope its this year.
uhm ya no one was fired
No one was fired, and they never gave a release date before. They had a target for 2011 and a target for 'early' 2012, but they have never set a date... I don't understand where people get their ideas about these things.
people think speculation threads are somehow truth. a rumor gets started and the next thing you know people are claiming it as fact. lmao

"once the pretty hardcore gamers we had testing inferno found it fairly difficult, we then we doubled it" -trolololol jay wilson
This Jay Wilson message has got me curious as to how close is close.
I mean if lots of the employees are finishing full playthroughs and are rarely working, then they should absolutely kick it into 5th gear and announce. Announcement would mean the employees have to refocus, and can only mean a better game.
Its a win-win.
YOU HEAR ME JAY??? Tell me the date. Private message me if necessary. I promise not to use that information to my advantage by announcing it to the world.
My guess is either the 3rd or 10th of may. I reckon that gives the beta another month before they lock it down and get physical media into production. That leaves plenty of time to generate a media circus announcing this epic release.

Super Cop! He knows where you live, he knows where you sleep.
The release date will be announced on February 26th because this is when I run out of Q-tips.
Breaking news, I went to a friends house and was unable to use my own clairvoyant Q-tips for one day, thus pushing back the release date announcement to February 27th.

My place really was here. I was too foolish and stubborn to notice. But, what I truly hoped for then was here. Why do I always realize it When I've already lost it.
Sometimes I think Blizzard wants to destroy the lifes of european students, I can't think of a WoW Addon that came out during a fitting month of the year, where there weren't exams or the start of new semesters...
NOW would be the perfect timing for Diablo, over a month of "nearly free time", but I guess it'll come out in the middle of April, ready to fuck up my discipline for the new semester.... *rant rant rant*
Here in the states April is the stretch run for term papers and the last tests of the semester. Very early in May we have to hand in final project and take final exams. Late April/Early May would suck for college kids in the states.
Don't make yourself thirstier, Just occupy your day and do your normal life.
It may come between june-july. Ask me why? here is my reasons:
First,I think blizzard made a nasty contract with Runic (Developer of Torchlight 2), which is, "Don't release anything until I release my game!"
Yes, it seems true because the number of Runic employee are 39. it likes a tiny group of bilizzard who works jsut in music part of Diablo. That's it, they become parts of "behind the curtain team". this is similar to how Intel sell its CPU with AMD existance as a virtual competitor. If there is nothing to compare, so how do you know sth is awesome? Also, make easier to sell.
Therefore, if we speculate Torchlight2 release date, we have guess more easier about diablo 3. As far as I know, torchlight2 appears in June. (Isn't weird that T2 went silent for 2 months, and then comes with old respone and stupid screen shots. They said" we are in pregressing the last level!" and now they said repetitive things!
Second, release date is 2 months before announcement.
Third, next big selling event after christmas? Summer
Finally, as far as you know, they change many things, Diablo3 needs extra time to test this changes.
Fairly certain it was stated that no retailer knows the release date before we(the community) do. And that every form of this is just guessing at best. Why would a store in netherlands know the release date and not best buy? So id take this with not even a grain of salt, but a spoonful. Tho I dont think they are far from the truth, I was guessing earlier with my mates and I landed on 23rd of april..
I have been saying for about a month and a half now, that it will be released a week before finals. I know that this store probably does not know for sure, but their prediction falls right along side mine. Why Blizz?! Why are you trying to flunk me out of school?
Yeah - yesterday he pretty much implied the release build is done. Therefore an April 19th release is possible (or that week). Based on what Jay Wilson said and Bashiok's latest statement that nothing is changing - there could very well be a release date announcement as soon as well, today. (Just speculation! Don't get excited) If not I feel like it's coming within the next week. Unless they decide something needs to be changed again but it seems they are focused on releasing the game and any issues they feel that need to be addressed such as chat channels can be done in a patch.
Yeah I read that. I opened it about 7 minutes after it was posted. I was just wondering if he had some other info from Jay that discredited a possible April 19 relase date. I know the store is guessing, but who is to say they did not guess right? I don't see anything in Jay Wilson's message that would support an argument against a release date at the end of april.
Blizzard, and others, have already stated that no retailers have an inside source and that any release date they have is just a placeholder. And Blizzard also says that they would like to announce the release two months before. Two months before April 17th, which is the Tuesday for that week, would be "Feburary" 17th. That date has obviously passed. And before you get into an uproar and use Jay Wilson's post, they would probably still keep that two month window due to the fact that Q2 does start till April. And we already know that Blizzard's view of time is completely different than ours. So we have no clue how long "in the near future" actually is.

Sadly, no... sigh.
I wish they were right, however, I think the date won't be anything before early May onwards.
Games can't be released on Thursdays or Mondays? What world are you living in?
