The badnwidth issue when the patch is released will be serious. No matter what Blizz says, this WILL be a bigger than usual patch, considering that we're going to be having new graphics, a new 'welcome screen' a War3 picture for chat etc. with all the millions of D2 gamers trying to get the thing at once, Blizz will be in meltdown trying to send it out, and then the servers will be trying to host everyone playing. However, many people who play Blizz games play several, and so they are probably hoping that some of the D2 players will be playing War3:TFT and thus will not be expecting a D2 patch, as they'll be playing War3:TFT, those that don't play War3:TFT will then get the patch, and then the news will filter through and the D2 players will go for it a day or two later - meaning that sending the patch out to everyone will be staggered, and they may stand a chance of doing a good job of it.
That's my theory anyway.
