===When will the Diablo 3 Beta Start?===
As with all dates related to Blizzard games, nothing is definite. [[Kevin Martens]] and [[Julian Love]] wwere asked about this during an interview at Blizzcon 2009, and flatly refused to give any info at all.

::'''''Diii.net: '''Speaking of the beta test, what’s the date on that? Can you give us any loose estimate?
::'''Kevin: '''We’re still working on content and doing a lot of iterating. It’s hard to know when the game is ready for testing, since just because something is in the game doesn’t mean it’s good enough to ship. The Blizzard secret is endless iteration. Go over and over until something is perfect. How any given feature works with other features, classes, and all the content. We never know exactly where we are in the process since we’re working on everything at once. Julian, how do you describe when we’re done?
::'''Julian: '''We know we’re ready when everyone is spending their time playing instead of working. That means it’s time to ship.
::'''''Diii.net: '''And how long will that be?
::'''Kevin: '''(Losing patience.) It’s indeterminate.
