===Battle.net Feature Reveal set for August 2011===
In mid-June 2011, word was leaked[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/d3-fansite-invite-event-in-july-august-beta-start/] that Blizzard was going to host a "fansite summit" at Blizzard Irvine from July 26-27th. At that summit the invited fansites were going to be given play test time, interviews with the developers, and a presentation of a new B.net feature. (Widely assumed to be Diablo III's version of the [[Auction House]]Battle.net interface and functionality.)
This is valuable information for the beta timeline, since it was previously said (by [[Bashiok]]) that all the game systems would be revealed pre-beta. Thus the Beta can not start until after August 2nd, when this system is revealed. This doesn't mean the Beta will begin on August 3rd, but fans can always hope.
