A message from Blizzard to the community

Yes, and it's nothing to get your hopes up about. Have you ever seen someone celebrate a 1000 day anniversary? If you want to try to make random dates significant then you should also know War3 beta started on February 3rd.

Yeah thats true. I'm just delusional right now. I'll be back in 2 weeks.

except... what happend if the game isn't awesome??? or it is awesome but not reaching the lvl of awesomess (thats a word?) that the people and the critic expect after so many years?

From personal experience, I waited on every tidbit of news for Diablo 2. Anticipating the weekly screenshots, news on the beta, and constantly refreshing Dii.net for news. Once I got into the open beta, I quickly installed the game, and was very very disappointed.

The game itself was really good, but I'd hyped myself for something mindblowing amazing. My expectations bit me in the ass. Over time, I began to appreciate D2 for what it was, but it never came close to what I expected it to be (which was basically WoW: teamwork + quests + awesome boss fights)

That's a result of self-hype. Your expectations become so high that no matter how good the game is, it just doesn't meet your expectations. There's really no gauge to 'awesomeness' other than personal opinion.

I know some people have celebrated weirder amounts of days.
