Blizzard Can't Commit To Diablo III 2011 Date, But...
See Full ImageDiablo III is coming. No, really. It is. Activision swears it is. ...at some point.
Okay, we can be more optimistic than that. Activision Blizzard has released an earnings update, in which they confirmed that the long-awaited RPG does not have a launch date; the game is currently not on the release calendar for 2011.
But Blizzard president and co-founder Mike Morhaime tried to encourage the skeptics by saying the team still intends to ship the game before the year is out. They can't commit to a date but at the very least, some players will be able to test out the beta. Said Morhaime:
"Diablo 3 is still on track to go into external beta testing later this quarter. We are very much looking forward to getting the beta into the hands of our players and collecting their feedback for the final phase of development."
Morhaime says this beta phase will be very important for such a "complex release," and the bottom line is that the game will arrive when it's "ready for prime-time." Well, it can't be that far off. Right? Right?!

Does Activision even DO exclusivity of any kind, anymore? I mean, besides WoW? ...which Diablo III really isn't...
P.S. Really, the coverage is a just-in-case scenario.

Either way, sadly, I wont play it unless the rumor is true about them porting it to consoles. I'm just not a PC gamer anymore. Though D3 and KOTOR have me very very tempted.

Also on Blizzard official forum Community Manager have confirmed open public beta in Q4'2011. He encouraged people to update their status of PC specs they have (application can be found on Blizzard site) and hope to be chosen. I already have yesterday...

Anyway, Starcraft 2 was pirated offline although it is also online only. With Diablo 3 will be the same I'm sure.

nope i cant, im stuck with cable because the copper in the lines is so old by the time a ADSL2 signal got to the house it would be too faint.
so im stuck with cable, and only 2 providers offer it.
switching providers wont solve the issue anyway because the issue is with the cable its not properly shielded.
only way to solve it would be to move house, but yea thats not exactly cost effective.......
