Anyone playin D2 and wanna chat about this mystery US east
MD said hes reaction or theirs was WTF and ZOMG
What would u say to WTF if you heard something from blizzard?
It has 2 be somethin new something not even they were expecting...If i heard about the patch or d3 announcement i'd prolly ask them to bare my children...not WTF...maybe it is the movie? WTF theres a diablo movie coming?
What if we get the worst new ever!! If Blizzard know about it but it isnt an announcment of Diablo3 or the Diablo 2 patch which is what Medi stated then perhaps our worst fears have come to light! I can't even bring myself to say it.................................Diablo3 Binned!!!!
PLEASE NO!
Dont shoot me just a thought
Bring on 1st May
Thought it was only me that was that much of a pessimist, but thankfully I seem to recall either MD or Umaro saying things were moving in the right direction.
Things the May 1 Announcement are not:
1. It is not an official announcement of Diablo 3
2. It is not about an upcoming Diablo novel
3. It is not a Network merge
4. It is not a patch
5. It is not another Blizzcast Episode
Apocalypse not is not listed, therefore its a high probability.
What the flip is the May 1st Announcement then?
Well, the answer will be unleashed that day. Not earlier.
The Apocalypse is the sort of thing that's unleashed.
Does Blizzard know?
I would say yes.
Those guys are practically Gods. How can Gods not know when the end of the world will be?
There is some merit to the announcement. Sadly it is not what we are all awaiting and craving for years. But it is a step forward in its own rightful positive kind of way to what fans are craving for.
Fans are craving Diablo, who is in Hell. The Apocalypse would bring us right to him!
X Days until _____ is shaken.
The world will shake like hell alright.
Definition of the word: (from Wikipedia)
Apocalypse (Greek: Ἀποκάλυψις Apokálypsis; "lifting of the veil"), is a term applied to the disclosure to certain privileged persons of something hidden from the majority of humankind.
longtime reader of the site, had to register to add my two cents, and two cents I have:
1¢ - My first inclination would be something akin to bliz taking over this site officially. Why else would there be a specific timeline set upon the date of the announcement (ie, the date of the takeover). Business transactions and such dont just happen spontaneously and the first of the month would sound like a good start date. Also, if it WAS an announcement of a major bliz product (patch, game, movie), why would *only this site* have it? Even many non-Diablo focused sites have larger reader bases and would be a better place to launch the news, yet only this site is in on it.
2¢ - Some ppl mentioned maybe a side project port of a diablo game such as handheld, console, etc. Let me share to you a new job opening at blizzard. Summarized, its for "an associate software engineer to join the mobile team of our online technologies department." So maybe a cellphone diablo or something, who knows. You can read the job post at http://blizzard.com/us/jobopp/associate-software-engineer.html
I'm outta money and end my rant here. Patiently waiting for 1may with the rest of you
After carefully considering the three theories i presented earlier, I think i will take them back. I am sticking to a new theory. The countdown will end with a.... Cryptic message
Hype it up before May1, Hype it up even more before WWI with something REALLY cryptic, like a picture hidden in a pattern. Also i've noticed something really really strange about the official WWI site. Notice how there's no picture of Diablo on the banner? There's characters from Warcraft and Starcraft yet not a single hint of a Diablo character. But look closer, look how the WWI Logo is fits onto the banner, can you just not imagine a Diablo face hiding behind that logo? It would make sense since Diablo would be the BIG announcement of the convention (alongside the competitions and what not).
I found it really odd, cause no mention of Diablo on the banner but on the side menu it had Diablo 2. Misdirection once again?

I thought of this also. Maybe, just like in hellgate, the admin/mods of this site will become official community managers for blizzard to help with the communication with the players. Dont know if you guys played hellgate or looked at it, Scapes a member of the hellgate fansite became a community manager for Flagship

I noticed that too topaque... well lets hope for the best eh?
Anyway what concerns me most is the WTF reaction from MD and Umaro.... I get quite uneasy with the idea of a shocking news and I imagine what it could be about....
But I'd like to ask MD or Umaro... which of you got the news first? And can you mention the source?
...it is something related to Diablo 3, but nothing official. (A step in the right direction)
...Umaro said a ways back that a big change was coming that we would be pleased about.
...the webmaster will be making the announcement.
I am beginning to lean towards the 'Blizzard taking over Diablo3.com' theory
Besides, if it is something they have known for a while, but can't say, then they can't say it probably for legal reasons, which would further lead to the takeover idea...
I believe that the most because it's something which could be settled on the day the contract takes place... and it wouldn't necessarily mean an immediate change in the site's looks.... Anyway, I only hope not to hear: "D3 is a MMO or a RTS", much less "they scraped everything again so heres what WOULD happen". Anything else (yes even a logo) would be awesome... as long as its actually reffered to D3.

ITS THE APOCALYPSE! (END OF THE WORLD)
Proof:
Apocalypse not is not listed, therefore its a high probability.

It was mockery.
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.

Nah, its probably a hand held version of Molten Core
Realistically though, I'd guess for a handheld game - Lost Vikings.
