Hi all, I'm a regular lurker..and seeing as Blizzcon is less that 24 hours away I've been glued to various news sites for any new D3 info.
A few minutes ago I noticed that the Blizzcon 2010 site has "New Custom Maps Revealed" listed under Diablo 3 Panel recaps. Is this a mistake? Was it was supposed to go under the Starcraft 2 panel recap?
I can't really see Diablo 3 with custom maps (not including 3rd party mods) as it would detract from the story and atmosphere.

Look under Panel Recaps.
I'm thinking that its a possibly just a typo, but I'll keep an eye on that panel listing just in case anything gets added/removed.
I'm not sure how I feel about custom maps... If they were implemented, would they be in the open-battle net style from d2? This is just speculation.. but I really don't see how they could get this to work. I guess I'll find out soon enough
Blizzard does screw up things occasionally. in the WWI in Paris where Diablo III was announced, there was "Diablo III" written where the presentation was to be for some hours before it started.
Anyways, we'll know soon enough, but my first thought would be for some extra features, like the Horde mode people kept talking about to keep max leveled guys busy with random bosses in it.
I'm sure it is for sc, who would want to spend their time editing a map for an rpg that your character couldnt even play in.
Yeah. Besides, the fact that it says "NEW custom maps revealed" implies that there are old custom maps. Otherwise it would say "Custom maps revealed". When they announced the artisans they also didn't say "NEW artisans revealed". It's about SCII.
Is it possible there will be a map editor for custom maps (similar to SC2), but you editors are able to import characters? I'm assuming that you won't be able to alter the equipment/inventory/stats of the character in the actual main game Diablo III, but then, yes, people could make horde modes, co-op modes, or whatever versus modes they want, as a side to the actual game itself.
