Quick update: Due to some additional fixes going into beta patch 15, we will indeed be performing a character wipe. Please note that this wipe will also affect gold, items, achievements, auctions, followers, and artisans.
Server Maintenance - Beta Patch 15 Tomorrow
It looks like the release date was not the only good news, tomorrow we should be seeing a new beta patch hit servers!
We will bringing the Diablo III test servers down for maintenance at approximately 10:00 a.m. PST tomorrow morning for database updates and to launch the next beta patch. We anticipate that maintenance will conclude at approximately 10:00 p.m. PST on Friday, March 16.
While we are not planning to wipe characters with this patch, we will be resetting all auctions on both the gold and currency-based auction houses. If any changes are made during maintenance that may require a character wipe, we'll be sure to provide an update in this thread.
Thank you for your patience! As always, patch notes will be posted here once the patch is live.
This patch is really needed, the AH is so broken right now. Expired offers are still there, Items costing 0 gold, search functions not working properly (never did).
Can't join a public game - error message or no game at all. And, could be my problem though, I'm having much more latency now.
Hope they fix whatever they can.
Getting patch 15 so quickly after patch 14 leads me to believe there will be no major changes to the game. Probably some small glitches, fixes, and the like. They are not wiping yet again, so yeah ... I'm not expecting anything major to be touched.

Most likely, yes. Personally, I'm holding on to the faint hope that the Skill UI gets another change.
Game released on the 15th ... then Patch 15 arrives. Fun coincidence
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
It has been said... that in the end of all things... we would find a new beginning. But as the shadow once again crawls across our world... and the stench of terror drifts on a bitter wind... the people pray for strength and guidance. They should pray for the mercy of a swift death... for I've seen what the darkness hides!
... I don't think it's safe here.
Hoping for Pink Chain Lightning in D3!

It's funny cuz it's true. I don't play wow anymore, but I always thought it was weird how often they'd get unexpected problems during regular maintenance. You'd think the company would have a bit more control over their servers.
I don't care that my character is getting wiped. BUT... the fact that they are STILL putting out patches that require character wipes is a little worrisome. You'd think they would have gotten a finished product by now (with only 2 months to go), and they should just be working on class balance and small glitches.
They have to wipe everything to get battletags working right probably. I havent been able to add friends since i got beta and half the people i see are invisible or not displaying. plus they are going to make it so the character name displays and not your tag.
Diablo 3 Release Date: May 15th 2012
Character Wipe In Patch 15 Tomorrow
It looks like a character wipe will be needed after all.

Isn't it ALWAYS like 8-12h with blizzard during their maintenance?
WoW downtime is like 3-4 hours or so when there's no changes. When there is a patch rolling out, it can be 7-8 hours.
