I played so many stupid hours of Diablo 2, and that was without any real substantial "end game" short of level-grinding. I'm excited to have a challenging "end game" to chew on for a while at my leisure.
For the community in general? 2 weeks to 1 month. Pooled resources and abuse of bugs/exploits will make it fast.
(Players in WoW pooled resources and operated in shifts to get realm firsts on new expacs, I expect this to happen again.)
Now... how about HC Inferno? Well over 3 months I'm guessing, pooled efforts or not, unless there is a huge bug/exploit that doesn't get fixed quickly.

I also I doubt they had a clue about a release date when they had the certificate issued over a year and a half ago...

I think he was responding to my "and get to keep character/loot" bit, that was just overly hopeful, unrealistic thinking on my part.

I do think its VERY unlikely pre-order = make a character you can keep. (However, I'd be surprised if they didn't offer pre-order = beta with characters that get wiped)
But just for the sake of argument: if Blizzard sets it up so that you can pre-order directly through Blizzard in all regions, then how would that be unfair? People with hefty data caps, but decent bandwidth, need to install off disks I guess? I can't think of much else..

I'm not suggesting such a thing would happen until very close to when the game launches. But, it would be a decent way to stress-test the launch hardware/architecture!
(The upcoming invite-only Beta will be running on a single instance of test hardware in one location, which will affect what they end up installing at server farms in various locations across the world for launch)

Woah, woah WOAH, ease off there on the rational thought! This is the internet we're on, here. We don't take kindly to logical reasoning! <_<
Edit:
Sorry, that was kind of rude. I'm just getting irritable with all of the wild fears and crazy conclusions flying around these days. But, I understand people are just wound-up and don't have much else to discuss about D3.

You are correct that there's no reason why Blizzard can't implement offline-only Diablo 3.
However, I'll let you in on a little secret: they cut it to ship the game faster. Helping prevent piracy is just a perk.
Let's imagine the meeting Blizzard had over this, in brief:

Not only are battle.net forums a vast, writhing lake of sewage, the D3 forums only contain people who have active classic battle.net accounts. He's stuck with this audience that does not statistically represent the upcoming Diablo 3 fan-base accurately, at all. But, sadly, the forums will never represent that audience well.
