Diablo 3 Patch 1.0.3 Goes Live Tomorrow

Diablo 3 servers will be down for maintenance tomorrow (June, 19) at 3:00 AM PDT in order to deploy the 1.0.3 patch update. The servers should be up again by 1:00 PM PDT.

Quoting from the forum:

Important: Please note that you will not be prompted to download patch 1.0.3 until the patch is live in your home region. If you are logging in from a European or Asian client, you will need to wait for this patch to release in that region before it can be installed. Additionally, if your home region is the Americas, you will be unable to log into Europe or Asia using Global Play after patch 1.0.3 is live until those regions have also patched.

For reference, here are the scheduled maintenance times for each region:

The Americas: 3:00 a.m. PDT (6/19) to 1:00 p.m. PDT (6/19)
Europe: 6:00 p.m. PDT (6/19) to 4:00 a.m. PDT (6/20)
Asia: 1:00 p.m. PDT (6/20) to 11:00 p.m. PDT (6/20)

The Korean Government To Ban Trading Of Virtual Items

The South Korean government has decided to place a ban on the trading of all virtual goods and items. Of course, this means no Diablo 3 RMAH (Real Money Auction House) for the Korean Region. The ban also makes the use of farming bots illegal. Anyone found to be in violation will be issued up to 50 Million KRW ($43,000 USD) in fines and also potentially face jail time of up to five years. Even the horrible demons in the deepest nether regions of hell are left trembling at the thought of that!
