You are not missing anything. It's the Internet buzz again starting to brew up things.

Hmmm, which sites? I can still log on to battle.net and and the official D3 site. In Europe, that is.

Well, it anything big would happen, I guess it would affect Europe sites also.

Let's not hope it's another "Soon was to soon" article...

They can't procrastinate much longer. There's only 1.5 months left in Q1.. Release announce or formal delay coming soon :\

Hunter, I thought you knew that they never said Q1. They said early. ;-)

No worries, next time they'll name it "later is now even later".

Hahaha, true that. :-)

i dont think that this conference will bring us a release date. Lets face the truth - game isn`t ready yet, many parts of core mechanic aren`t implemented and developers don`t have release date yet (maybe only release candidate dates).. so there is nothing to announce.

the runes and new skill system was holding the game back

they are done and are in the game

ofc little things have to be sorted, but the core is finished and ready (bashiok said)

if u didnt know this, feel free to scream with joy

It's in and working. That doesn't mean it's done. :-)

I really hope for some information too, don't get me wrong. But I just don't want to get my hype all worked up and then get disappointed.

@Freddy - Today is Wednesday, they usually do battle.net outages on Tuesdays with WoW's maintenance days. I'm not looking much into it, but they could be possibly tweaking the Battle.net balance features or adding more crap for us to manage.

I don't expect any info today or tomorrow, personally. I did some reading yesterday and it looks like AVTI hit their financial target for the 4th straight quarter, so I'm sure investors will be giggling with joy.

I would expect them to mention the release, not the exact date, but investors want to know this information. They usually mention that they are working on X.x patch for whatever game. So we should hear something along the lines of: "D3 is still on schedule for Q1" or .. "D3 won't be releasing till Q2 now".
