What's going to come out first - Diablo III or Sacred III? Either one and my life will be over for a while...

First, I've been lurking here for a long time. Great site. You guys really are great. To make a long story long, I've had this game forever but never really played much. Then, this week, I totally threw out my back and could only take so much MW3. So I pop Sacred 2 and go to town. And go. And go. My back was out really badly. Anyway, I finish silver at level 50 (is this good?) and now I seem to be starting at gold - at least that's what my start up screen says. But - all of my quests and things are still out there, my little beacon things are lit, etc. How do I restart a game on gold with my same character with all my cool gear but with having all the quests start anew? Does this make sense? It also could be that my son came in with a friend right when I did it so I didn't really get to mess around (I'm thinking I could have hit continue or something rather than new game), but any help would be greatly appreciated. Also - big question - if I like Whet a socket for armor, do I get the bonus to my attack with whatever weapon I'm using? Basically, should I even bother to whet armor? I know I have others, but thanks in advance for your help. - Stevo
