From
www.diabloii.net perhaps this means actual patch soon.
Well the time has finally come as Blizzard announce the closure of the 1.10 Beta.
After months of insightful feedback from the public beta testers, Blizzard is now officially closing the Diablo II patch 1.10 beta test. The beta test has been instrumental in helping us develop the most ambitious, far-reaching patch ever done for a Blizzard product. We would like to thank everyone who play-tested the beta; your feedback has been an invaluable resource in shaping the final 1.10 patch!
As of today, the Diablo II 1.10 Beta patch will no longer be available for download from Blizzard or any of our download affiliates. Also, the email address and forum for beta bug submission will no longer be active. Please note that Technical Support cannot respond to any inquiries regarding the 1.10 beta via phone, email, or chat channel.
For news about the release of the final 1.10 patch, please check back here regularly.
No word on when the patch will go live on the realms, but since that process takes hours, we'll get advance notice in the form of a realm downtime post in the Status Forum.
