You can expect every EU and SK gamer out there would buy an NA copy of the game right away, which doesnt bode well for Battle.net How does that not bode well for B.net? D2 was also not region locked, and I highly doubt that it caused any problems.

Theres no way that Diablo 3 will be realeased in February, Bashiok said that they aim for Q1 of 2012 but I doubt thats even possible, maybe really late march but thats bad date since march is Mass Effect 3 month...
|
february was my guess but after hearing new statements i don't think we will have the game until at least april.
|
April earliest I'd think.
|
I say July/August, during school vacation. Earlier = yay, later = lose all faith in blizzard.
|
If I see another Blizzcon with a Diablo 3 panel talking about the upcoming release of Diablo 3 I'm gonna be sick.
Whatever they do, they better release the game before the next Blizzcon. Next Blizzcon should talk about the next Diablo 3 EXPANSION.

RMAH/Paying to win is a flawed concept imo and Diablo is based around it
People paying extra money so they have better gear to gain an unfair advantage in both PvE and PvP
Not to break OP rules, I am just frustrated about this, why can't they just sell hats?
I want Diablo 3 to come out this month and I secretly hope RMAH gets worked on.

It would be a bad date for ME3 not D3...

As for Feb release, Bashiok stated that they announce release dates about 2 months ahead, so Feb is out. March is still very well possible.

I cant read the labels under the numbers, but I dont have to be able to, to say that nothing that Best Buy says has any bearing. They have to set a date for preorder purposes. And hyping the game up with a big display is good for business.
Also, Feburary?

This happens in every online game anyway. WoW has no real money anything, and completely soulbounce loot. And that doesnt stop people from purchasing completely decked out characters.
Having it out in the open like this is good as it cuts down on the number of people scammed, ticket overhead, trivial lawsuits.
And if you are in asia RMAH will also cutdown on the number of murders and violent crime.

Bashiok is just talking shit as usual,
wow was released 3 weeks after release announcement, sc2 was released 1 week after end of beta (19th july 2010 / 27th)
what needs to happen is patch 10, if that goes well according to their plan then.. february release is still possible.

Yeah i mean if you look at Battle net forums they are FILLED with emails just like that one.
Walmart. Best Buy. Target (lol) Every store that sells games.
But they dont actually mean anything. It is just a date they have to set when taking preorders.
Some people even got email notification that they're copy of Diablo 3 was waiting for them to be picked up.

I guess what I mean was that the "pretend" release date has changed... This is a new development, I believe.

Oh. Yeah they are required to have a release date posted. Im sure by now they will set whatever date generates the most hype as long as they have any sort of reasoning behind it.

I dont see why the two have to be mutually exclusive.

I still dont understand how they can take this long and still not have key componenets like runes not hammered out yet. It's not even about polish for that, they can't even make up their minds.
