Am I really the only thinking that there has to be Diablo III first? The Sin war isn't actually mentioned in the games.
It most certainly is mentioned in the games, not Diablo II, but Diablo I.
"So it came to be that the Three Prime Evils were banished in spirit form to the mortal realm and after sewing chaos across the East for decades, they were hunted down by the cursed Order of the mortal Horadrim. The Horadrim used artifacts called Soulstones to contain the essence of Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred and his brother Baal, the Lord of Destruction. The youngest brother - Diablo, the Lord of Terror - escaped to the west.
Eventually the Horadrim captured Diablo within a Soulstone as well, and buried him under an ancient, forgotten Cathedral. There, the Lord of Terror sleeps and awaits the time of his rebirth. Know ye that he will seek a body of youth and power to possess - one that is innocent and easily controlled. He will then arise to free his Brothers and once more fan the flames of the Sin War... "
"All praises to Diablo - Lord of Terror and Survivor of The Dark Exile. When he awakened from his long slumber, my Lord and Master spoke to me of secrets that few mortals know. He told me the kingdoms of the High Heavens and the pits of the Burning Hells engage in an eternal war. He revealed the powers that have brought this discord to the realms of man. My lord has named the battle for this world and all who exist here the Sin War."
"Glory and Approbation to Diablo - Lord of Terror and Leader of the Three. My Lord spoke to me of his two Brothers, Mephisto and Baal, who were banished to this world long ago. My Lord wishes to bide his time and harness his awesome power so that he may free his captive brothers from their tombs beneath the sands of the east. Once my Lord releases his Brothers, the Sin War will once again know the fury of the Three."
If you haven't played that game, go do so now, if you have played it, I don't know how you could miss the big tomes on pedestals, they have some of the best lines in the game.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.

Beware Foolish Mortals The Death Nearly Aprochesee[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
I actually think it isnt something big or very interesting...
Because I read somewhere that Umaro or MedivalDragon said blizzard would have showed us the news at 1 may anyway...And I highly doubt they would show us something awesome on just a simple day :/ ...
But my guess is that blizzard buys this site.
This made me think of last May when Blizzard put the teaser on their site, it would fit what MD is saying that some people would be wanting more but for some like me this is more than enough. And since its not like Umaro or MD have exclusive news and Blizzard was going to tell us anyways via their website I came up with this theory. What yall think?!

Oh i loved those tomes lol this one is called - The Wages of Sin are War
Take heed and bare witness to the truths that lie herin, for they are the last legacy of the Horadrim.
When the eternal conflict between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells falls upon mortal soil, it is called the Sin War.
Angels and Demons walk amongst humanity in disguise fighting in secret, away from the prying eyes of mortals.
Some daring, powerful mortals have allied themselves with either side, and helped to dictate the course of the Sin War.
I think that passage alone, says alot about Sanctuary, Angels and Demons walking amongst humans. Then mortals siding with either side to dictate the course of the Sin War.
For all who have waited the time has come pick up your axes, swords,spears, and bows the awakening of hell is upon us protect sanctuary to your dieing breath
Oh, yeah. Someone in authority here said the announcement would be made on May 1st regardless of the counter, I'd have to find it somewhere... The counter was, obviously, for hype. (Duh.)
i know, let me refrase that....
blizzard gave permission to reveal something on the 1st of may, and the guys here made a countdown to create a hype (wich is what blizzard wants)
Hype is always a good thing - especially when it's approved by Blizzard. Sure, the Diablo jobs were a good hype-maker, but this is different, and should prove significant.
Significant as in Diablo 3 announced sooner than one might think significant? (Meaning, the hype is a build-up for the eventual announement, maybe in June?)
It will be hype used for an annoucement - if the annoucement happens. It just seems too damn convenient that the WWI lands on Diablo II and Diablo II: LoD's release dates. To be honest, they are probably finishing up the annoucement trailer as we speak - and working on the gameplay demo, as well as preparing concept art to show off.
Yes, an in-depth interview that got the typical answers to all pertaining questions: "Maybe." "Possibly." "Diablo- what's that? *grins*" "We cannot release any information at this time." "We are not abandoning the Diablo universe." and the ever-popular, stand-alone *grin*.
It most certainly is mentioned in the games, not Diablo II, but Diablo I.
