yes he hasent been around for years but still, he has been here long enough to gain the trust of many, he doesnt have solid proof of d3 but thats kinda hard to do, almost like proving the existance of aliens... oh crap not that guy again

If you ever meet a hafling and a hungry dragon you dont have to outrun the dragon, you only have to outrun the hafling.
well if you look at the evidence, aliens have been proven to come to earth every once in a while. there have been many sightings, many crop circles, and even abductions. ive even been abducted........
The comparison of D3 to aliens is stupid. We already know some form of D3 is out. We have no solid widely accepted proof that there are aliens.
We have a representative from Blizzard saying that they're continuing the Diablo franchise.
It's not like God is standing at a press conference announcing that he will be bringing aliens to our world this coming 2007.
2. I think he's just like any kid that like to make harmless shit up and tell anybody who will listen...I did it when I was younger too. No worries.
You can't prove age by typing. Cuz I bet a mentally retarded 20 year old types like a 7 year old. And there are many people on this forum who fall under this category. I'm not talking about Glidehook or Ryan of course. They're literate at least.
On topic, I don't think its too feasible for Blizzard to make a neat little sequel to Diablo that runs for free after you buy it.
If they bring the franchise back, they're just gonna milk it and turn it into one of those monthly subscription affairs....in which case I wont give a shit any way.
Highly doubtful. Blizzard is or should be well aware of the fact that the majority of the Diablo fanbase are not the same (to some degree) as WoW fans. ANd Blizzard also announced in that article that Chupa linked, that they will continue to make sure that Battle Net is on top. And the way to do that is make it free, since that is the competition for.
I think it's perfectly reasonable to assume that there will be no subscription fee.
Ok Muttonchops how does him playing the demo prove that they are indeed working on Diablo 3, it doesn't prove any thing. I'm not attacking the guy only saying that coming on to any message board and saying I know this guy who told me this, does not prove a single thing.
Let me say this if I had a dime for every single time some one claimed they knew some one who worked for whatever game company and they said this is what they told me, I would be one rich SOB right now.
You want an example, about a little over a year ago some one leaked out info on what they claimed to be design for Hero classes for WoW. This person said they got there info from some one that worked on WoW. This person went to a lot of trouble to creat the hero classes cause it seemed to be real for most part. Yet turned out that it was bogus and in fact blizzard had scrapped the hero class idea.
So just because some one comes on to a message board making claims proves nothing. If General Ryan wants use to buy in to his story he needs to give us pics, a demo, some thing other then he said this and he said that.
Now im not saying that hes lying and im not saying hes telling use the truth. I am saying that there is no proof that his claims are true. Now you guys are welcome to believe what you like. However as I stated I take things like this with a grain of salt.
I sorry but every thing he has stated in my opinon is hear say. It is that simple. If he can show pics or even post a demo of the game or some thing that would be one thing, I might be a bit more preseptive. However he has offered nothing. So he has to expect that some people arn't going to buy it.
Sorry if that offends you Muttonchop or General Ryan but I work on facts and proof not on claims, which is all you have offered use, Ryan. As I said if I had a dime for every time some one hit a message board making claims about a game I would be rich.
cant anyone wait for the weekend? thats when he says he is going to their house. ill bet its all a fake if nothing is shared by tuesday.

Angus the peasant saw the necromancer raising the rotting remains and ran away. Since then he told the tale of how he narrowly escaped the necromancer he called "juicy bones".
That might be true too, AcidReign, but we will see after this weekend. I am sure that Lord Silver and Elfen Lied will post the results of their findings from General Ryan and share with the rest of us.

Those before me shall quiver in my wake as I unleash the fury within!
i dont see what difference it makes who gives the proof, and if proof is given to the public its going to be widely spread. Which in turn blizzard will find out, read this and find the person responsible. so i hope if general ryan does give the information out to elfen lord and whoever, that they keep it under wraps and just tell is what is on the demo/screenshots. I trust these guys so what ever they say about this "stolen demo" stuff ill believe.

I agree, if we continue to post in this thread sooner or later Blizzard will find out and probably push the Diablo III project back. Making us wait more.

The question here isn't is he telling the truth or is he lying. Some of you are saying because hes not giving to much info that he is more then likely not a fake. However that doesn't mean he isn't a fake, it just means he smart and keeps it as vague as he can so he doesn't get caught in a lie.
However like said I don't know if hes lying or telling the truth. I don't know the guy, I don't know who he actually knows and doesn't know. What I do know is that 9 times out of 10 most people who make the claims he's making turn out to be false. I learned not to listen to any thing any one says unless it comes directly from a offical source, such as a game company or a Magazine.
Every thing else I hear is just rumor and though it maybe true till its backed up with hardcore proof from an offical source then it will remain rumor. This is not me flaming the guy, this just a simple basic fact.
The problem with Message Boards is that any one can say any thing and if the person is smart about it can sucker people in. I've seen it many times when it comes to games.
Now understand some thing, I do work in game industry, have for many years. I know how this industry works, and the kinds of people that work for it. Most of the people who work in the game industry pretty much live at work and play at work. Those they share info with are usually close friends and family. What info they give out about a game there working on is going to be vague. Almost all the people who work in the industry will not give out content on a game when the developer hasn't even come out and told the public that they are working on that game. This is because NDA agreement.
Now what most of you don't get is any one who works in the industry that gets caught giving info out about a game especially a game that has not been confirmed to the public could end up not only getting fired but could get sued as well. The NDA agreement exist for a very good reason and almost any one who works in the industry respects it.
Now as I stated he could be telling the truth or he could be lying through his teeth, the fact is I honestly don't know. However I take every thing I have heard about diablo 3 even the fact that blizzard is working on a diablo 3 and chulk it up to rumor and hear say. There is only one way I will believe any thing and thats if it comes from an offical source, this guy is not an offical source.
Now I more then willing to listen to him and to talk about whatever he post however doesn't mean im gone jump on the band wagon and buy in to what he is selling.
He can play the demo for the next month and come in and give use every thing about the game however it means squat untill Blizzard offically confirms that they are indeed working on a Diablo 3. Let say he comes back at the end of the weekend and says I played the Demo and here is how the game plays, does that prove any thing, no because I have no idea if he actually made up every thing or if he actually did play the demo. Keep in mind I've seen guys that I know have made things up and yet it sound really really good so good you would believe it.
All im saying is don't be so quick to jump on board and buy in to what he is selling till it is confirmed that blizzard is indeed working on Diablo 3 and relates info about the game to the public.
General Ryan posted one part that showed a job discription. Now yes all those skills would be perfect for Diablo 3 but they would also be perfect for Warcaft 4. Now more then likely they are working on Diablo 3, however till blizzard confirms this then we have no idea if its true or not true. So don't take stuff that people say at face value. You are entitled to your opinions and are entitled to believe this guy but that doesn't mean he is telling the truth.
Now you can say im flaming but that would be untrue, im only say there is nothing here that proves any thing one way or another and untill some thing comes from an offical source then it is all rumor and should be taken with a grain of salt. Its that simple.
i was reading in the bnet d2 forums when i came on this topic, heres what the guy said
Ok I doubt anybody on these forums cares anymore, but i have been reading over these forum topics and it's the same stuff every time, OOOooo d3 is coming out, ooo la de da, ooo no it isn't, so on and so forth.
Honestly, all i ever hear about on D2 any more is d3, i can understand the statistics of WoW, and that d2-3 is of a very minor concern if any, But all i hear on d2 now are rumours of d3, and people saying what d3 is gonna be like and so on... All im saying is... Make it.. i've been playing D2 since the day it came out on the year 2000 (yes i am that addicted, even WoW doesn't match up to it for me) And i honestly think that there should be a change... this is specificly to the makers of blizzard.... Why don't you make the game.. or at least tell us if it's coming. When i heard it was coming out I went freaking crazy trying to find out the release date only to find rumours, and other random crap... i could ask any1 i see now on d2 if they are rdy for a d3 and they'd say yes. All im saying is make 1... You got suggestions.. the moneys there i know for a fact, and though ALOT of people play wow, alot of people still play d2 too, whether it be single player, open, or closed..... Like once again at least tell us if it's coming.. if u can't confirm it, then plz at least give us the probability of it being produced, theres jobs being handed out every which way, theres a big rave on d2 open especially i can tell u that d3 is coming out which no1 can confirm, and on closed it's pretty much the same thing if u ask some1. So like... COmon... at least tell us if it's coming or not... and if it isn't PLZ START !!!
well it seems like theres alot of talk about d3 in diablo2??? that could led to his ban cuz he gave true information about d3 in some channels??? well i duno, i want to believe me too!
There is no doubt about it that if Blizzard does make Diablo III, they will earn a lot of revenue. We know it and they know it. Warcraft is not the only franchise that Blizzard has that has made them money. All that I am saying is that I am pretty sure that Blizzard is well aware of the needed game Diablo III. And they are also well aware that if they do produce a sequel to Diablo II, they will earn millions.

On that basis, that would make you extremely gullible.
Yes...the absence of information equals the validity of information. Great logic!
