Diablo 3 Beta Begins

In case you hadn't heard, the Diablo 3 friends and family beta has begun to a very select few.  They are working to stabilize the beta before inviting more individuals.  As anything we would write here would be under speculation, I beleive it would be best to take a week off before continuing on the postings.  At that point, the NDAs should be lifted and we can give you pre launch details, which could still be not accurate, but they would be "less not accurate".

See you in a week with some insider info.

August Highlights

August highlighted the start of the blog as information streamed out about the Real Money Auction House and the incoming release of Diablo 3 beta.

These were the most popular posts of August:

1. Blizzard Site update.
This detailed the new website Blizzard had launch for Diablo 3 including extensive FAQ sections.

2. It Begins
The first blog post, a discussion around why this change will change the video game industry forever.

3. Blizzard becomes Amsterdam
A comical/serious look at the controversy surrounding the RMAH and its implications on Diablo 3 gameplay.

I hope you enjoyed them.  Stick around for September as we continue to delve in.

Blacksmith Artisan

The Blacksmith is the first of the Artisans you'll meet in your travels.  According to the Beta, the NPC will ask for your assistance in a quest (spoilers omitted).  Once completed he will join your Caravan and provide you the Salvage Cube.

Here is a run down of the Blacksmith Features and how they may affect you.
