Get into the Diablo 3 beta!
You get an email the second Blizzard announce the Diablo 3 beta.
Now, prepare to be surprised by some of the reasoning behind this “news”. Diablo 3 release date has been a hot topic and we’ve all heard the usual Blizzard rhetoric that Diablo 3 will come out WHEN the game is ready.
First, some background: a guy who played Diablo 2 for years got a DOL rune and experimented with it until it crushed the game. He’s got an error message … a series of meaningless numbers. Or are they?
64 69 61 62 6c 6f 20 33 20 20 30 39 2f 30 39 2f 30 39.
So why is this significant in ANY way? OK, this is the geek part: 64 69 61 62 6c 6f 20 33 20 20 30 39 2f 30 39 2f 30 39 is hex for : Diablo 3 09/09/09. That means that if you translate the hexadecimal code, it gives you Diablo 3’s release date.
Now, the critical part. How likely is that Diablo 2 developers knew in advance when Diablo 3 will be released? NOT LIKELY. At the same time, if I were head of development at Blizzard and I was a bit of a numerology freak… I’d pick EXACTLY this date. Why?
Well, it’s pretty obvious. 09-09-09 represents 666 if you turn it upside down. The number of the beast! (cue the Iron Maiden song here)
That’s really ridiculous.
I say that whoever posted that code made it all up.
Hey, the guy who posted the code went into great detail about the way you get this error message. Several people have been able to replicate it. However, it’s up to you to decide if Diablo 3 09-09-09 means what we think it means.
yeah at least some screenshot maybe prove it.
They have a lot of work left to do. I say the first quarter of 2010.
Where are your sources?
Lol kid whatever you smoke is bad.Quit drugs!
09/09/09? Not a chance. Maybe 09/09/10 =P
Thats retarded…
Is there any major events that are going to the on at that time in the gameing world also, ill keep an eye out on ARGnet and u nfiction forum for an ARG if they go into putting alot of publicity into it as Diablo 3 could easily have an ARG going to advertise it.
i say that because on ARGnet at the moment there is a WoW ARG running ( http://www.argn.com/ ) and so it looks like blizzard are going down that route seeing as wrath of lich has just been released.
also, who was it and were is the original post?
Im a c++ programer and i wrote a program to show the results of those hex numbers and it comes out with 1001059798108111325132324857474857474857 so your all wrong!
what if your birthday is on that date does it have any meaning?
#tom
What you got there is the ASCII values, the first ASCII value you have is 100, which is “d”, next is 105 which is “i” and so on.
It’s always the same …
Nice to see that they have gotten a date on this long awaited game.
not that im complaining about the wait as i look forward to a good game with plenty of dash under game and play, hoping that theres more depth in the game then lots of effects.
If you type those numbers in a diablo 2 message, you get this response!:
62 75 6C 6C 73 68 69 74
Even IF a D2 developer magically foretold the release date AND put it in a D2 error code (which is far fetched to say the least).
What makes you think the D3 developers give a damn?!
The ridiculousness of this just makes me laugh.
ure noob c++ programmer then tom. u can easily convert those numbers in numerous hex converter site around teh net. the main problem is, where the hell did they got this series of numbers? id say, some screenshot(no edit) probably can do the talking here. otherwise , this is bullshit crap.
id say early 2010 or last month 2009.
come to think of it,they(developers) made diablo 2 like.. 6 years ago(?) and they put the date 09/09/09 to launch? lol i dont see the logic here. nice make up story man. with the upside down 666, uve got some creativity there id say.
Only one problem I see with the post above.. 666 has been determined to NOT be the devils number by many different theologins. So poo poo for you trying to say that.. but the code thing is interesting.. that guy has WAY WAY WAY too much free time to be figuring crap like that out.
LOL this is just a bullsht that kid dint even get to point lmao. games dont have 7 month to creat it(a good game takes longer). u dont even have sources and proof. blizzard emplyoees havent say anything because they dont know any if that information.
i think the code means 10-31-09 because i used a code breaker for the nintendo and it came out to oct.31,2009 at 4:30pm so i think that is when it will come out 9-9-09 does not mean a thing unless you add it up to 18 then split it up to 3-6’s but the game shark came up with 1031-094302 that translate to 10-31-09 at 4:30 and the 2 =pm 1 would be am there you go!
now i wish the game would come out by june but that won’t happen by the way blizzard you are making the best kick ass game that there is thanks!!!!!!!!!
You think its bullshit? Did any of you actually google for the original post?
here’s google, learn how to use it.
http://www.google.com/search?q=diablo+3&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
check this link for the full article, and yes it makes sense if you read the whole thing.
And here’s a repost of one of the posts that started it all
http://www.diablowiki.net/Dol_Rune_Conspiracy
http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/act4-diablo.shtml
Diablo has 13818 HP on Normal, not 34300 as claimed in the conspiracy, throwing the numbers off.
Oh, and if you want to know what a D 2 error looks like:
1.) Memory Error

2.) Access Violation Error

Neither long enough to display a proper message in Hex.

Interesting, but after HOURS of research I got to this conclusion, he was wrong the hex code was :64 69 61 62 6c 6f 20 33 20 69 73 6e 27 74 20 63 6f 6d 69 6e 67 20 6f 75 74 20 61 74 20 30 39 2f 30 39 2f 30 39. Try it out!
Again :He wasn’t right, you know what makes his story not trackable? A ring that no1 has, that’s an easy one
. Good luck making more ridiculous speculations wasting your time until release.
TROLL
no, the 666 was right, you just don’t turn it upside down for the release date, you leave it as it is. you see, the time machine will be invented by then. diablo will go back in time and release it on 6-6-06. we are already playing the game and love it, we just don’t know it yet…. remember, this is no spoon
LOL, it’s more like a joke! 09/09/09? that’s the dream!
All is reversed on the altar of satan
pleasure is pain
up is down
right is wrong
666 is 999
well , acording to the maya calendar , the world will end in 2012,
bet the game`s release date is the day after it all ends..
BLIZZARD if your watching this.. isnt it about time you tell all your dedicated fans when you THINK it might be ready??
This year, next year, spring, summer, what ever , just an estimated time will do for me. PS3 have failed me so far and Diablo 3 is the light at the end of my tunnel. I dont give a ratts ass about starcraft 2, i loved the original but the only sequell to a game im realy REALY craving for is DIABLO 3

Boobs sounds like a bunch of crap
this has to be the biggest load of bullshiznizzle i have ever come across in my life. a HEX CODE. wtf man. here you are, putting all this false hope into ppl’s hearts, and it took you’re worthless story to do it.
yeah, i read the whole thing, and somehow, i didn’t break my monitor. this error code does NOT exist. that ring he mentioned, did NOT exist, EVER. all this information isn’t even CLOSE to being true, and everyone just stumbled right over it.
i guess anything is possible now, we have obama nigro
this is a giant lump of donkey turd, chicken shieat
and, They call me Foot Long, where I’m from, it’s true, i get a little dizzy sometimes
If anyone goes to this website you can create a HEX code. I am sorry but you wont get a HEX code that long if the game ever crashed.

Its going to be released when its going to be, stop bitching and just wait for Bliz to say when they are going to. I agree with benbow here and a hint of some sort like within the year or next year would be awesome but until that time this NooB just needs to go just go back and play wow.
you guys are a bunch of nerds…
I can’t believe you guys think this is real.
The guy who wrote the damn thing even gave u a clue how he made the take text:
Hex translator.
Go http://www.defproc.co.uk/toys/hex.php and try write; wow 01/01/02 it will give u a hex for it: 776f772030312f30312f3032
Now I could simply find some random item that I can relate to say illidan hp by multiplying and in that way make a story and say it crashed wow and gave me the code 776f772030312f30312f3032 look it up urself and u see it stands for wow 01/01/02.
crist guys get a grip, any1 can do that kind of trick.
please release it know? lol
Diablo sucks omg the weakest gameplay ever
ARGH…..AT LAST
WELL….
IT,S THE TIME WE ENTER THE NEW WORLD OF GAMING
THIS WILL BE THE BEST GAME ALL THE YEAR
BESIDE Dota OFCOURSE
“64 69 61 62 6c 6f 20 33 20 20 30 36 2f 30 39 2f 30 39″
or
“64 69 61 62 6c 6f 20 33 20 69 73 6e 27 74 20 63 6f 6d 69 6e 67 20 6f 75 74 20 61 74 20 30 39 2f 30 39 2f 30 39″
i want to believe!
Have you guys seen “LOST”, this code might be the magic code, whoever had relationship with the code……………. there are something coming after u
999 is heaven number so maybe
guys… actually if you writte this
64 69 61 62 6c 6f 20 33 20 20 30 39 2f 30 39 2f 30 39
like this
646961626c6f2033202030392f30392f3039
in a hex to string converter… it will say diablo 3 09/09/09 and i saw… just google for hex convert..
but that couldve been written like that… i would like a screen of that error message with this code in it to believe a bit
Det kan henda at 999 betyr det motsatte av 666 isteden for djevelen så kan det være engelen?? dunno… bare en vill teori

I know we’re all excited for Diablo III, but seriously, don’t be so gullible. Blizzard doesn’t give out release dates, ever, anywhere, until the game is practically on the shelves.
LOL u think a game crash says the release date for a game that didnt exist for years later….? thats just daft. still 09/09/09 would be an interesting date for the game to be realsed. i hope it is 2009 not 2010, me an my brother loved dioblo 2 we still play it now. cant wait for diablo 3 ó¿ó

—> lol it’s possible they added the “qlue” during patch 1.12
Just remember the good old cowlevel. Blizzard made it because fans created a fake-story about a secret cowlvl.
X-Mas Release would be smarter by the way.
Diablo is about hell. 9 9 9 makes alot of sense, totally agree with the date.. peace
thats my b-day… so yay for me if its true
LOL!!!!!! people really have time to waste creating all these stupid news…
I think D3 needs alot more time to get ready… and i was thinking about this year christmas, but im wrong, i think it’ll take almost entire 2010… so im guessing 2010 christmas
Diablo 3 will be the gem of this year games, but 09 has been a good year for gamers.
well it is 09/11/09 now where the hell is the damn game you crap load of idoits! i agree with those who said around christmas to next year. it seems more possible.

Dude put down the Joint, Its still Aug,…
it is highly unlikely that diablo3 will be realeased on 09/09/09 , if it were the case blizzard would have announced it a while back , generally release dates are announced months in advance, and from a strictly a business point of view it would be more profitable for blizzard to releases diablo 3 in summer next year
well its day before you said it was supposed to be released and the 5th class not released yet they said the diablo 3 BETA will come out 9/11/09 i dont get the code but other than that diablo 3 will actually be released on christmass eve this year so whoever posted this u guys are such idiots knowing that BLIZZARD didn’t even put a release date until now…>.<
well 2day is the day and its not realesed suck ass dol runes thats way out in the middel east.
Omg! Hoax! it’s 09-09-09 and still no Diablo
What a complete bullshit. It’s 09.09.09 today and the realease date is not even ANNOUNCED by blizz, so for making me waste time reading this article better be ready to hand over a copy of the Diablo 3 release. Don’t need all characters just the barbarian
. I’m waiting…
lol i want barb to but there is a release date like i said christmas eve this year but i might be wrong but shouldn’t take till 2010 because there almost done with 5th class which isnt revealed yet because the beta supposed to be released 9/11/09
I think some people really needs a hobby, cause damn you are bored..
dia 15 de septiembre y nada de diablo 3
This is nice, I love how people can track down coincidence this way and come up with things standing the way to make community to freak out. Anyway, I’ll just stay tuned for the next Diablo 3 release date hint.
Спасибо) есть что то интересное))
Как раз то что искал, большое спасибо!
Hi I just notice that ASDA are advertising a release date for Diablo 3 as 27 November 2009…. you can preorder on their website :
http://www.asda-entertainment.co.uk/games/platforms/pc/diablo-3/10042969.html
I must say it cheaper to preorder from game.co.uk, but they dont give a release date… I ordered from game.co.uk figuring they are most likely to get the stock in first..
Interesting though… surely a company as big as ASDA would not just pluck a release date out of thin air? They must have put in an order with Blizzard I would assume??
