    Andrew Yoon posted a new article, Diablo 3 in 'polish mode' for past two years.

    Diablo 3 director Jay Wilson was also surprised by the lengthy development time of the upcoming RPG release. "It just took a lot longer than I had anticipated," he admitted. "I was surprised by how long it took to reach it."
