We shall see how well they deliver, but at least in theory, I am 100% behind that attempted direction. That's the essence of what was good about D1.
At this moment, Diablo III plays almost exactly like Diablo II - for better and worse. Make of that what you will. We won't know much of anything until the game actually comes out, as the Beta is such a small segment of the game as to shut out more than a glimpse of what is in store. However, they have also pointed towards a much bigger influence from items than in past games, so expect that curve ball to affect everything else.

As far as I know the Korean bottleneck is in the past. Aside from possible re-certification, they got over that hump by removing listing fees. What's left now is fixing and tweaking all the changes they've made since then. As someone (Bolty?) said, it's looking like a Q2 release - maybe June. I wouldn't bet on it any time before that.
