Found this a couple days ago its a good read....check it out

I was browsing the web when I ran across an interesting theory on the Diablo 3 release date. I'm 100% sure it's not true, but the fact that someone went through all the trouble to come up with something so intricate is quite impressive. I had to post it here for everyone to see. If you're the kind of person that loves conspiracy theories or dectective story, then you'll like this.

Please, don't judge this before you read it through and think about it! I finally, after several months of extensive research have found the true secret that Diablo carries. Please bare with me.
Believe it or not but the secret of diablo 3 is within the Dol rune. By now, you are all probably thinking wtf this guy is trolling. But before you discredit me let me show to you this jaw-dropping truth. The stats of a Dol rune:
Weapons: Hit causes monster to flee 25%
Armor: Replenish Life +7
Helms: Replenish Life +7
Shield: Replenish Life +7
Some simple mathematics:
25x7x7x7 = 8575
Why Is this important you ask?
Well. In diablo 1, the lord of terror had PRECISLY 8,575 hit points. Are you getting scared? There's more
Note the stat on the dol rune that stands out the most, "Hit causes monster to flee 25%" Now, naturally this ONLY works on regular monsters but not bosses ... right?
That's were you are wrong. In diablo II "normal" difficulty has PRECISLY 34300 Hit points ( 8575 being exactly 25% of his health!)
What does this mean to us? Well, because of some glitch in the hardcoding of d2:lod this fact somehow allows you to surpasse the boundary of "hit causes monster to flee" not affecting bosses. In otherwords, because of this fault on behalf of the blizzard programmers aslong as you have a dol socketed into a weapon you can make diablo run away from you with each successfull hit. Ironic isn't it? The lord of terror, in TERROR. ( Some argue this was initially an intentional "easter-egg" the programmers added for a twist)
Okay... okay. After making you read all of this I won't disappoint you. There is indeed an even greater scandal revolving around the dol rune. One that will literally make you $!@% bricks after reading this. Let's move on!
Anagrams. Guess what? An anagram of "Dol" is Lod. Coincidence? Lod stands for Lord Of Destruction which is an expansion for diablo. An anagram of Lord Of Destruction is: consider fold trout.
Consider fold trout ...
For months these words echoed in my head and it wasn't untill tonight I realised what impact these words bare and I felt compelled to type out this thread and share it with you all.
I quote Merriam websters: Quote TROUT Middle English, from Old English trūht, from Late Latin trocta, tructa, a fish with sharp teeth, from Greek trōkt?“s, literally, gnawer, from trōgein to gnaw Please notice the word gnaw.
I knew I had seen this very word somewhere in the game before, but where? Gnaw Fold. It was a rare ring I had left in my stash since 1.07. According to recent databases, the prefix Gnaw and the suffix Fold no longer exist, however they did in 1.07. I was one of the lucky few to recieve this ring randomly from as far as my memory serves me, from the gidbin quest. Enough about the ring, let me explain to you all how this fits together... PERFECTLY.
Gnaw Fold - Unique ring stats:
Attack rating +25
Vitality +7
Life +7
Energy +7
Mana +7
Do you see the similarities yet? Well, if you don't than look back at are old friend the dol rune.
Quote The stats of a Dol rune:
Weapons: Hit causes monster to flee 25%
Armor: Replenish Life +7
Helms: Replenish Life +7

Admit it, you are scared? This is where this little discovery takes a VERY, VERY awkward and interesting turn.
They're three difficulties on d2 'Normal', 'Nightmare' and 'Hell' In the "Hell" mode of diablo lod, diablo has a 0.05575% chance of dropping a Dol rune. Why Is this important? Apart from the scary number-patterns this tells us that JUST as with the dol rune glitch that allowed you to make diablo flee from you, here a very simliar glitch occurs. Once again, because of the "Sloppy Hardcoding" of D2 LOD (Mind, it was a rush job after the sky-rocketing sales of classic) whenever you kill diablo in hell with this ring in your ring slot the game crashes. I bet you all are thinking now, WOW what a waste of time! He made us read ALL of this to tell us that because of the incompetence of blizzard employee's the game crashes if you wear some really rare ring and just HAPPEN to get a dol rune drop for you. This is wrong. As you will find out in just a sec there is something special about this error message. It returns the following value to your screen: 64 69 61 62 6c 6f 20 33 20 20 30 39 2f 30 39 2f 30 39.
At first glace 64 69 61 62 6c 6f 20 33 20 20 30 39 2f 30 39 2f 30 39 seems completly random, just some error code right? This is where you are wrong, deeply wrong.
64 69 61 62 6c 6f 20 33 20 20 30 39 2f 30 39 2f 30 39 is hex for : Diablo 3 09/09/09. Don't believe me? Google ANY Hex translator and try it yourself.
From this ASTONISHING information I would like to conclude that based on my findings I believe (and believe all you others should acknowledge aswell) that diablo 3's official release date is 09/09/09.

Alright, im sorry but I still consider that to be an ellaborate troll attempt. Now... if indeed that error code actually comes up, and it actually translates to that... I can't really understand the need for all that filler in the beginning. Someone please verify
ALSO, I plan to play through as the next class they unveil *rolls dice*

Thing is, no one can actually test that it crashes or gives you the error message because you can't get the ring anymore. Sounds like a troll.

I realize that I sounded trollish about the bnet subscription rumor, but thats exactly what the rumor was after Blizcon and Julian Wilson happened to mention 'monetize' and 'battlenet' in the same sentence.
The most information forthcoming is linked here [joystiq] in which the details on said monetization are still extremely vague.
The fact that you will have to connect to the battlenet servers at all to create a network game of any type seems redundant and a way to force people to use your service for 'monetization'.
Back on topic: ooo diablo 3, i'd still rather play legends of newerth when it drops

I'll gladly pay for battlenet. I spend a ton of time on there anyway. -- That is, if they do make it a fee.
I doubt it will be 9909. I say earliest release would be late 2010.
Cut Chem!st :I'll gladly pay for battlenet. I spend a ton of time on there anyway. -- That is, if they do make it a fee.
No game is worth paying for monthly in my opinion. I don't even pay for bank stuff.
I'll be playing the witch doctor.

I used to be all against that untill I started playing a payed-for MMO, you don't even notice the cost. The amount of fun MMOs give you is just amazing. Before I just played free mmos, which usually held my time for a year or so, but after trying a full fledge MMO. I didn't even think about playing a MMO that dosent have a fee after that, for the amazing quality its worth it.
But yeah, I would only pay for battlenet because of the amount of time I spend playing starcraft/diablo online.. i played them both like it was my job.

it looks alot brighter than the first 2 which is dissapointing so i'm not completely thrilled about it. at least it doesn't look as incredibly cartoony as starcraft 2

Don't knock it till you try it, the gameplay is so much fun you wont notice. Plus we haven't seen all the areas.
I agree, it has been WoW'd. This has actually been the number one complaint amongst the Diablo community. Blizzard stated that if they were to make it darker most computer's wouldn't be able to handle it, effectively shutting down the majority of their player base. I plan on buying a new computer the day D3 comes out, but that's because I need a desktop right now anyway. I'm running INS on a hp pavillion dv6000 series. With a 128mb video card, I'm kind of out of date =p.
are you serious? Dude its Diablo 3 remember all those good times you have had playing Diablo and Diablo 2 and Diablo LOD? and pfft who cares if the game is brighter turn down the contrast or brightness....and cartoony pfft. if you dont wanna play it be my guest but i am going to explode in my pants when this game come out
