Anyone who has played Diablo 2 on Battle.net long enough can speak of the horrors and frustration that go along with muling items.

There have been hints that we may see a max level of 100, but who knows..? Regardless, whether it be 99 or 100 is not really of major concern; after all... it's only one number.

Diablo 3 Release Date
My guess is that it will arrive 3rd or 4th quarter of 2011. The news surrounding this highly anticipated sequel has been quite shrouded lately. Anyone who frequents the Battle.net forums knows that there's been an information drought for Diablo 3 the past few months.
