    It kills me that we have to wait so long.

    Might play some Diablo 2 as compensation.

    Also, I've been meaning to ask... is the first Diablo worth playing? I've heard Diablo fans give me mixed ratings.

    Fair enough... I have my time occupied managing my characters and playing Skyrim - and trying to pass my A Levels of course. I guess I could settle for not playing the first installment :P

    What class are you guys gonna roll?

    I'll probably go for a Sorcerer or Witch Doctor since I always roll casters in RPGs.

    It's a "jump-through-hoops if our servers don't crash" giveaway. Very disappointing.

    been waiting atleast 7 years ....
    Pretty much this. I remember when I first played Diablo when I was like, 10 or 11 or something (back in 2000? I don't know) and it was like WAHEY KILL STUFF AND GET STUFF AND THEN DO IT AGAIN. I still don't know why that formula works but it does.

    Either a Monk or a Witch Doctor, still undecided. There was a poll on the US forums about which characters people will play first and Witch Doctor was last. I like to play the under-represented class / race in games. Barb and Wizard were first and second place.

    The Demon Hunter wasn't so popular amongst the people who voted but I think for a lot of younger / new gamers to the diablo series, the Demon Hunter will seem very attractive.

    As for release date, there is a rumour on diabloincgamers that announcement of the date could be March 5th. Then again, in Blizzard's post about cutting employees they said "coming weeks", so who knows.

    yer 2000 sounds about right, i miss there being not spam on every minute of playing, and im sure i used to find far more majic stuff, oh and when bloodruns were the big thing before ball runs, god i feel old and nerdy

    That's pretty much the formula for any RPG ;p

    Blizzard just tends to make them quite aesthetically pleasing as well as addictive...
