This is great news. Let your imaginations run on the implications of this statement.

=3 More Blood, More Bodies, More crude mature decapitations! Maybe some impaled townspeople with that? And for the cherry on the Sundae, some evil tortured cries lamenting from a far distance!
Glad I could provide you with that...I think. Maybe not.

I hate to be the party pooper (then again, i hate parties), but what do you expect Bashiok to tell you otherwise?
Fan: "Hey Bashiok, how good will the game be?"
Bashiok: "It will be the best game in history!"
Fan: "Wow, i didn't expect the news to be that great."
Apparently you missed the significance of his comment.

Well, i guess i did then? Care to explain to me the significance of it please?
There is none, actually. I guess some people went crazy thinking their target audience were teenagers because of the "cartoony graphics", and this "revelation" is a great thing to some people, I guess.
Well at one point someone from Blizzard said they were considering aiming for a Teen rating to keep the audience as wide as possible, though it was never official, so it's still a good thing to hear they're more officially sticking to the Mature perspective.

You win!!Everyone else fails for not picking up on this. They never specified which rating they were going for and possibly a T rating which would have made D3 suck.
Bashiok confirmed the M rating once and for all which implies some of the things we can expect.
It was honestly pretty simple, not sure how you missed it.

Diablo 3 is definitive going to have a lot of blood, they aren't showing it since they've just show us the first act, where the evil hasn't really begun to spread on the world widely, I'm really sure we are going to see some nasty stuff as we advance through it, cant wait to see what Blizzard has stored for us. M rating FTW

"Eternal suffering would be too brief for you, Diablo!"
Yes, gore basically. It means they wont tone it down for that T rating we could have seen.

So, are you saying that you don't think there's enough in it now (in the most recent revisions) or are you saying that you're glad they won't be degrading it for a T rating, or both?

The rating. I would like to see more gore than in recent videos. We have yet to see bodies strung up with their innards hanging out. With a mature rating they can do SOOOO much more than they have currently revealed.
And Bashiok's comment confirms that we will be seeing a whole lot of that.

I see. Well then, in that case, if you were wondering, the reason I didn't post that one, and the longer one, instead, is because it would make for a very short and unelaborate article, which wouldn't be very fun to write for me

I didn't know user news articles could be posted.

Because until now there had been reason to think they were still pondering a Teen rating, which would disappoint a lot of the fanbase that expected another Mature-rated game. This is the first time they've officially stated they're sticking to a Mature focus. Not a monumental announcement, but something that has been up in the air for a while.
This isn't really rocket science, just read the previous posts?
Hm? I'm not sure what you mean. Normal users cannot post in the news and announcements forum, so a staff member would have had to post this. At the time I posted the article on bags in Diablo III, this was up in the air, as well, so I chose which article would be more engaging for me to write and would contain more information and/or speculation. This was just a sentence long and wouldn't have made for a very long read.

Ah, I see.
No offense Seth but I find my thread to be much better than yours.
Is this like calculus for you Doppel? It's really not that hard to get...

Like what? If you're talking about gore, if they add any more I won't be able to see anything else on the screen. I'm guessing you mean the profanity and nudity?
