I just noticed - the countdown timer for me on this site's main page (http://diablo.incgamers.com/) is at less than two minutes. Yet the release time, so far as I can tell, for the American servers is 12:01 AM May 15th PDT, which according to this site: http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/na/pdt.html is in an hour.

I'm assuming servers won't be up for another hour, but just to clarify: Is the incgamers site timer correct?

Edit: It appears not (though now that I think about it, that timer might be basing itself off of whatever timezone my browser is telling the site it is, so that may be more a question of dumb luck than anything else), as the servers are not yet up. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/status

The timer is only correct if your computers time is set to PDT. (Well it would have been correct for EU people with clocks set to CEST, etc)

OMG. Not years left. Not months left. Not weeks left. Not days left. Not even hours left. But MERE MINUTES left, until D3 is official for NA!!! I can hardly contain myself. Now lets just hope the servers dont wack out.

Thanks for the clarification, Eagle. I resemble that remark, FireIceTalon!

Yeah, it's almost surreal - after months of checking this site daily for the least little snippets of news, after all the waiting, it's finally here. The sucky part is I thought May 15th at midnite meant tomorrow nite - 24 hours from now, and took off work 1 day too late! :< GRRRR! Oh well, just one appointment tomorrow after lunch anyway, so I'm just gonna say screw it and and stay up all nite. I try to be responsible when it comes to my work, but I can sleepwalk through one appointment just this once. I wouldn't be able to sleep now anyway.
