I'm seriously worried about that. Some people would be paragon 1000 by now, the majority hasn't even reached p100; how are they gonna make sure the game still stays balanced and these 24/7 players don't cause havoc to the system?
From the images I've seen each character has a cap on how much they can place in a stat. For base stats it seems to be 50 points. They each add 5 stat points each which means all stats can get a 250 bonus to their stats
the inability to relocate.

Slain enemies explode, dealing 70% weapon damage as Lightning to every enemy within 10 yards.
Now at first it looks like it enhances the damage by an extra 70% right? But it doesn't, mobs that act like herding mobs will go down faster so this rune basically recommends maneuvering big mobs around little mobs and then letting the sparks fly. If you're just fighting a big guy, or tons of big guys then this bonus is severely diminished. If a mob on is going to take more than two hits then technically other runes would be better with an average power output of 135%. I get that from the Firebolt which is your Power rune in the mix here.
Point being that only one Rune is usually a straight up power boost, and it isn't always the last rune. Even with that said it isn't a big change, for the most part you get a change in gameplay changes rather than one being an outright benefit.

After that is all done I will purchase a multimillion dollar Cryochamber to skip the rest of the time and wake up on release day.

I'm renaming it the happy page, because I think I called every human I know and care about to herald the launch of this game.

The others will show up, either as the some supporting roles, or as enemies. In Diablo 2 this was exactly what happened with Blood Raven and The Summoner in Act II. We all know what happened to the Warrior of course.
Honestly I look forward to what happens to all the characters I played from Diablo 2.

I totally understand where you're coming from, and I think if this game had a Starcraft component that could give it a lot of playability till release they would have. Thing is that an RPG isn't an RTS. You need to build your character to learn it, it is part of the process that the game is built around and this makes Arenas sort of disfunctional. Since Starcraft could live by the whole play multiplayer till we launch, it had a setup that worked for get a pre-order and get in beta. If Diablo did that, well everyone would have hit 13 and just got stuck waiting. If they let you level to 60 then your character gets reset and players get frustrated again.
The game is a different beast then Starcraft and can't use the same formula. Letting people who really are passionate and begging lets them get a group of the hardcore invested without letting it get out of hand. It isn't good business practice to give everyone a preview that ends in a few hours, that just annoys a lot of people and could possible drop sells.
WHat they did was let it be a competition and for those who got in, there has been a lot of well constructed responses to the game. Somehow people who get in just have been good about sharing their experiences and trying to help promote the game. I don't really remember that sort of experience during the Starcraft beta. I mean fansites were supporting it, but I didn't see the love from the player base as much.

See I never understood that, I mean you party like a rockstar basically means you forget the whole night and wake up wondering who the chick next to you is.

Now don't speak such words, I want to imagine everyone is playing in tandem with each other right now. I really really want to.

Now now we can all just give some grats to those who got it and look forward to more post giving us fresh outlooks on what they think about the game.
I know that is something I would like to do.

I don't mind giving it attention right now but I'm pretty much just around because of the calculator and the recent contest have brought some good discussions to the table.

Now now, just because it is a good idea doesn't mean they are going to do it... ok it is a good idea to us, but maybe not to them.
Whimper, me wants in now.
