So yeah, we're still working on the patch. It's coming along really well. We're getting there. I can't give an estimate or date, we're expecting there to be a good amount of testing required due to the types of changes being made. We want to take our time and put out a solid patch, and that means we don't have a release date right now.
Some exciting news - and it also may be some comfort - due to the types of changes we're making we will be offering the Diablo II 1.13 patch for testing and feedback on a beta server before its release. We'll have more information about how you'll be able to help test it in the coming weeks. |

I think the term beta has too many preconceptions attached to it. Revised to "test realm".
I'm told it will be similar if not exactly the same as similar tests that have happened for Warcraft III recently. |

Bashiok than may i ask why the heck do you guys announce that the patch might be out at the end of april... get everyone excited... kill the trading market... than announce something like this. Even though i am excited i really think you guys should not do things like this. I don't think the patch and reset won't happened until july or later and now the market has died. It is just the wrong way to approach something corporation wise. It is like telling a kid he is getting a new bike in few weeks than telling him you will get it when we have more money in the future.
Just my 2 sense.
We try to give everyone at least a two week notice before a ladder reset. When it became apparent that the patch could potentially launch in two weeks, we put up an announcement just in case.
Now, even though no promises were given it's going to create some hope that it will be out, but we can only do so much to balance between expectation and information that's necessary for the community to have. |

Yeah for player conditioning. Now all we have to do is DEMAND Blizzard to answer us...great 30,000 posts coming with demands. Why couldn't this have happened in a more neutral post?
Heh, all the other posts I saw were using my name in the title. Which is a no-no. I didn't even really read the OP. |
