Big day for Diablo 3 news today, with release date announcement earlier today and now it seems we will get yet another Patch for the Beta. Jay tweeted earlier that the state of the game after Patch 14 is what they intend to ship with, so it will be very interesting to see what this Patch will bring.
[blue]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.[/blue]
Stay tuned as we’ll keep you updated on everything Patch 15 as the news comes in, together with official and of course unofficial patch notes.
[blue]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. [/blue]
