More beta keys will be given away at the CeBIT event, that starts on the 6th of March.

I wonder how long it will take them to release to stores from completion of the game. 1 month usually?

the rune changes have some pros/cons about it but overall I'm ok with the change. Skill wise d3 seems very impressive gives abit like mtg deck construction feel to it on top of its isometric action(collision system) should be great. Loot wise was hoping for more improvement since d2 but looks like they scaled back on the loot stats so a bit disappointing in that category, Thought they were gonna have some revolutionary loot concept there.

Jay just said that the release date of the game will be announced very, very soon. Maybe on 6th of March at CeBIT?

:\ looks getting a beta key will be impossible , we should all probably do a final ladder run from [normal] to [hell] one last time , grouping up will be quite not possible cause of the different time zones. will re-download diablo 2 tomorrow.

Detailed info about the classes' skills has been released here:

Also, videos of how some skills work have been uploaded. More will come soon. Pretty nice stuff.

good stuff are the rune effect info up to date(after patch 13)?

signature skills look like they are awesome , no mana required to cast them nice , unique for each character

"The Mayans weren't counting down to the end of the world, they were counting down to the release of Diablo III. :)"

So he is saying Diablo 3 will be released on my birthday!? Should I get very, very, very excited about Earth's final hours!? :D

EDIT: Newer tweet: "December?!? No way! 2nd quarter! Mayans got it wrong!"

Dammit! :D But it is great news, even less waiting! :D

Expect the release date to be confirmed this week.

Just got a beta invite! Downloading now!

I pray to the Lich King that he freezes your battle.net account and you aren't able to log in!

Just imagine if they'd actually been real. That would be outrageously funny.

I'm pretty sure ey99f7tf97q2g@yahoo.com didn't send me a real invite to D3.

Well, the Lich King answered to your prayers. I was unable to log in in the afternoon because they had some authentication maintenance going on so I went out instead. And in the evening they had server maintenance. I had to fly off this morning so I'll see if I can play it on my laptop now!

Yeah I've received a series of fake ones as well but this one's the real deal!
Actually, I got a SC2 beta invite as well back in the day but was unable to play it because I literally received it on the day that I started my revision.
