Same here. It unlocks at 23:01 Monday evening in my time zone though so I can get a little time in before I go to bed that night.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I hope that achievement isn't in the full game. I managed to get all achievements twice but it's truly a stupid ach :3

2. Wiz
3. DH
4. Barb
5. WD

I played quite a few public games as well as with gaffers and dh and monk seemed most popular.

Pure melee always seems to be extremely popular and I can't see that changing for D3. The rest is pure speculation.

Did you ever do any coop because I think I saw barb the least of all classes.
I ran into a pretty good mix. I think the newness of the Monk will wear off (if there is a surge in Monks due to this) and people will go running back to the Barb.
The problem with this achievement in the beta is that people seldom die. I'm quite positive this will change in later difficulties - therefore this achievement will be attainable quite easy.
I was in many games with 2, 3, and even 4 barbs.
Im thinking...
1) barb
2) demon hunter
3) wizard
4) monk
5) witch doctor (will be much higher once word gets out on how much fun it is)
I really want to do this myself but don't want to bug anyone =/.
Demon Hunter and Monk.
Everyone else will fall somewhere inbetween.
Will shift over time, especially as people see what Hell and Inferno are like I'm sure.
I could see Witch Doctors becoming very popular ~6 months in. Level up Witch Doctors to nightmare and sell them on RMAH if you want to make some money.
Wut?
I wonder how much a character would go for if you actually could sell them.
Edit: Googled... is this really a feature they're considering?
I could have swore I remember reading awhile ago you would be able to sell characters on the RMAH.
I'd be REALLY surprised if they allowed that.

I dunno what it is about the least played class in an rpg that just attracts me brainlessly, but in this case it's a happy coincidence that WD is far and beyond the most enjoyable class to me.

DH is great for kiting and pretty fun. I think it will be pretty popular
DH and Wizard seem fairly equally able to kite (slow time + teleport, caltrops + vault + smokescreen etc). I wouldn't be surprised if either of them came out on top as the most popular right after launch.
My gut says Barbarian though.

Look at the screenshot on the bottom. One of the specific tabs is characters.
Edit: Linked picture from Blizzard site because it's bigger.

Also, I don't know if anyone can find a bigger version, but there's this too in evidence of it.
boooooooooo
Also there's a quote:
"We are also planning to allow players to buy and sell characters in the auction house at some point in the future and will have more details to share on that at a later date."
I mean, really?
If you're not the sort of player who can invest 100+ hours into getting a character who can stand up in Inferno but still want to see what it's like and play around in endgame (the part of the game Blizzard are clearly balancing the game for)?
With no offline mode, that'll be the only way to do it.
And from a pure capitalist perspective, because they're valuable and Blizzard would be leaving money on the table by not letting you do it through them. Do you guys realize that people sold D2 characters?

This poll http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/4663256855 suggests:
1. Barb & Monk
2. Demon Hunter, Wizard & Witch Doctor (More or less)
One difference is that accounts used to not be tied to your CD-key/B.NET account. If you sold your character now you would effectively be selling a license of the game as well.
I guess my point is that it would be a lot more expensive for people to sell characters now so I doubt it would be as rampant as it was in D2.
First HC characters are guaranteed to die at those poisonous mother fuckers after the first area.
People that bought characters in D2 did it mostly for PvP purposes, no?
Anyway, to each their own. I enjoy the history and ownership that comes with building up your own character.
I'm guessing the character would transfer from one account to another, though. If it's sold through the auction house.

Yup, I won't be buying any characters, but I could see myself selling them. I like starting over sometimes and it seems like a better idea than deleting them, no?
Yeah, of course. If you weren't allowed to legally sell characters it would be a lot more expensive since you would be forced to buy one license of the game per sale, is what I was trying to say.
Yeah, that works. I don't see myself restarting a character for a few years, but if I ever decide too, I'm not against making some $$ off of my old ones.
I'm starting a barb as a main (COOP). Will dual wield until Hell where I'll probably have to switch to a board with a survival build (Lifesteal, armor buff, etc)
I'll roll as a Wiz for my solo run when my coop bud isn't around.
Ohhh, gotcha. I'm kinda curious how the black market will run...

Hah.
If you can sell characters on the gold AH as well, I can see high-level HC characters going for a lot. And they'd definitely go for quite a bit if/when they ever introduce the RMAH for Hardcore (which they have considered, based on player feedback.)
Related, an interesting tweet today from Jay Wilson stated that Inferno is not really meant to be completed by Hardcore characters, and if you are able to accomplish that, it'll be a real feat.
Good.... good
What's the point of buying a Hardcore character? The whole point is the glory in doing it. They better mark bought characters with an asterick or something.
Hardcore's still optional right? they're not going to make you do it to get the best gear, I assume.
Also, I started making a Diablo 3 playlist on Spotify since I wasn't that impressed with the soundtrack in beta. So far I've added Silent Hill 1 and 2's playlist and Agalloch's The Mantle.

They've pretty much just seen how people play WoW and D2 and legalized most of the drugs.
That's a good way to look at it; like with drugs, it's going to happen either way so they might as well regulate it properly.

You can sell characters? That's interesting. If you sell them is it just the character or can you sell it geared up as well?
