All classes this time have male and female options instead of being locked into 1 sex.

Based on how this reads.

"Exciting new classes like the witch doctor bring new gameplay options to the table. Returning classes, like the barbarian, have been completely redone with new skills to give them a feel unique to Diablo III."

The key word being CLASSES.

I suspect we will see 1 more NEW class and 2 more returning ones.

Could be wrong but thats my theory.

It is official there are 5 classes in D3.

2 of which will be Barb and Witch Doc they are not saying the other 3 at this time.

Tiny will be at a 12 hour concert on Saturday so he is busy.

They didnt start a server they are playing on Battlenet on the ladders.

Whempys uses untangle, adn I have the iso's downloaded and looked at it via the VMware player also.  It is a nice firewall.  I have considered putting in on a PC and trying it out.

Working on a format for a 1v1 head to head guitar hero type tourney for the October LAN.

Rules to be posted soon by Lan-Lord.  Any questions please direct them to him.

Diablo 1 was Jan 97, Diabo 2 was June 29th 2000.

Thinking that Dec 09 the best shot, if not then probably summer 2010.   Course they will also make sure not to release SC 2 or Lich King anytime near the other to maximize sales so who knows but yeah I am sure we got a min of a year wait on D3,  I think they will get released Lich King, SC2, D3 in that order.

Place your bets on when it will come out.

My pick Dec 09

Kinda wish they had added custom characters so we could change the looks some but yeah looks good.   Can't wait till 2010 when it comes out!

Saw these a few months ago.  Almost bought one but decided not to be that geeky eheh.

Most of us have already pre-ordered the collectors of Warhammer about 3 weeks or so ago.   I dont know anywhere that has the collectors available for pre-order anymore sold out all over.   This collectors edition is really worth it you get beta access, access to the live servers 5 days ahead of the general population, all kinda extra in game items, added in game heads, art books, novel, cool warboss miniature for the table top game etc.

Usually I dont think collectors editions are worth the added money but this one sure is.

Yeah I was thinking further back to the beginning of the Fallout line with Wasteland being on the Amiga but in fact it was on the C-64 so I was way messed up on that hehe then Fallout was on the PC does not seem it was that new hehe thought it was early 90's was suprised it was 97 that it came out.   Fallout came out in 97 then Baldurs in 98 but didnt use the same engine.   Baldurs was Bioware, Fallout Black Isle both published by Interplay.   Interplay was the KING or RPG's back then!!!

I liked the engine in Fallout alot better then the Infinity Engine of Baldurs Gate.   Infinity was good but there was something about how fallout played I like better.   I have been a serious fan of the fallout series.

Both fall out 1 and 2 came out WAY before Baldurs Gate so no they are not on that engine.   Fallout 1 came out back in the Amiga days and Fall out 2 in the 486 / Pentium days.  They are rather old games but awesome.
