I think you'll agree with me that Daybreak could really use some good news right about now, and today, it's got some.

Roaches and beetle types freak me out, even in video games. I'm not...

Diablo III is getting ready to close its second ladder only two months in on April 5th but will be providing a 100% gold and XP boost for the remainder of the season.
