Darn, I want to upgrade my pc, and am terrified it won't run the new version. Come on Blizzard get this game out and cheer up the world economy. Please give us some news.
How is the release of D3 going to help the world economy in any significant manner?
Maybe what they meant by releasing D3 after SC2 was they are going to wait until after all three SC2's have been released before unveiling D3.....jk.....I think people would start rioting.
Come on late 2009!!!

i hate how they announced it so early now i just sit here and stare at the site waiting for an update
Games are typically announced 2 years before release. Diablo III was announced at the end of the summer. It hasn't even been half a year yet. They didn't announce it early, at all, because we don't know the release date yet, so we have nothing to measure it against. Hold your horses, pre-announcement fans would have (including my self) allegorically killed to hear just to see one of the multiples of screenshots we can see every day

lolz I know right when I hear about D3 I was like "Omg I need to find updates RIGHT NOW!!"
I hope they atleast get the beta out before summer.
Im really starting to think that it won't come out untill 2010
Ok, as i was "scanning" the internet for diablo3 news, i came to a diablo 3 fan site called Maxfreak.com and they posted the following news on their site.
"Now, prepare to be surprised by some of the reasoning behind this “news”. Diablo 3 release date has been a hot topic and we’ve all heard the usual Blizzard rhetoric that Diablo 3 will come out WHEN the game is ready.
First, some background: a guy who played Diablo 2 for years got a DOL rune and experimented with it until it crushed the game. He got an error message … a series of meaningless numbers. Or are they?
So why is this significant in ANY way? OK, this is the geek part: 64 69 61 62 6c 6f 20 33 20 20 30 39 2f 30 39 2f 30 39 is hex for : Diablo 3 09/09/09. That means that if you translate the hexadecimal code, it gives you Diablo 3’s release date.
Now, the critical part. How likely is that Diablo 2 developers knew in advance when Diablo 3 will be released? NOT LIKELY. At the same time, if I were head of development at Blizzard and I was a bit of a numerology freak… I’d pick EXACTLY this date. Why?
Well, it’s pretty obvious. 09-09-09 represents 666 if you turn it upside down. The number of the beast! (cue the Iron Maiden song here)"
Ok, i admit i have no experience with hexidecimal stuff at all, so i haven't checked if the hex code is actually the same as the release date when translated. Also i think it's quite stupid, why would blizzard do this?
The latest diablo 2 update was quite a while ago, so they had to know the release date of diablo 3 at that time, wich sounds impossible in my ears. And how could messing around with a dol rune give such an error in the first place?
To be honest i'm pretty sure it's all made up, but i'm just checking it and seeing how u guys think about this.

Allow me to assure it for you- it's all made up.

Aww man.... tht kinda sucks. I really hope it comes out soon... even though i probably won't have a life after it does come out lol... they have been workin on it forever... maybe they are just waiting for World of Warcraft to die down... even though they are the same company :?
Man that stinks i am dieing for this game to come out you know i played world of warcraft for a long ass time but i have been praying for this game ever sence like diablo first came out......any idea on what the other 2 new classes might be? <sence they have realsed the barbarian, witch doctor, and wizard>
The longer they take on it the more likely it will exceed our expectations.
So if that's the case, they can work on it for another year or so for all I care. =P
I'm with you Kril, I foresee a Q4 2010 release. Which gives us about another year and a half. It sounds awful to say that out loud, but like you said, just gives them more time to make it great.
I hope it comes out in 2010....THAT BE AWESOMEZSZZDSDFAJLSAKJFKL

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
Awww.. I liked the 09 09 09 assumption... fits diablo prefectly..
