I am a long time visitor of this site...registered a while after finding it. this countdown really has me intrigued. Its been said not to be a announcement concerning Diablo, which makes sense to me, since it would be better off announced on the birthday of Diablo II :P, but still, i hope that its something to at least quench my thirst for a little bit of Diablo III goodness.
Its apparent each gif for the countdown is uploaded each day, but I'd like to see if these expressions have anything to do with the annoucement or are just adding mystery to the hole event (bar they being Diablo related).
Those are Sanctuary locations. Westmarch is where the events of Diablo: The Black Road happen -- if I am not mistaken. It is on the Diablo II Game Manual Map.
And indeed, I upload each gif every day. They were made already. Just need to remember to upload the next .gif past midnight.
I guess you could say playing the mystery card, giving something to entertain as people will be guessing what the next one will be or trying to find a pattern that doesn't exist lol. At least that way days will go faster for some people that is getting busy.
A few locations were already covered on the eastern side of Sanctuary marching from the south to the north. Now locations from the western side appear in the banners. You will see people getting excited after day 6 and day 3. The countdown will be reaching its end quietly faster.
I just thought it would be a nice touch to add Sanctuary locations for people to keep track. Some won't know the places and would go online to search info about them. Day one's banner people will go nuts till midnight when the countdown ends to reveal .... oops. Almost got me there.
so if its not d3 it will be a new patch for diablo2

Hey you all everybody! As with anyone here I am an avid DIABLO fan.
With that out of the way I’m asking for just two minutes to read this quick post based on my theories and ‘expectations’ of the pieces of the puzzle I have put together
First of all, I’m not gonna quote or debunk MD or UMARO on this because we have all read the FAQ so listen up. My theories are as such.
1.) On May 1 2008 there will be an ‘official video’ placed on the homepage of this site which will confirm the existence of some sort of Diablo production for gaming – not a feature film. 2.) This video will confirm life of a ‘diablo project’ (hence the heartbeats) but will not state what the project will be titled and will not include gameplay footage, only those visual awesomeness blizzard conjures for all their games. 3.) The video will contain no dates or production lines (to confirm MD’s statement that it would not be an official announcement) 4.) All the abovementioned should rationally result in a resounding WTF? and ZOMG! in all fairness, because its what you get from viral marketing.
What I personally don’t want the announcement to be.
1.) A Diablo II expansion. We could use one. But, c’mon, please… 2.) WorldofSanctuary/Diablo. Could be awesome, but Diablo is and always should be, based on singleplayer. You know? That mode of gaming so many have forgotten how cool actually is. 3.) A Diablo Sandbox editor or something like that. Why?
What I Do want it to be at the end of the day
A game, better than it’s predecessors, not based on a WoW engine, called DIABLO III.
Btw, Blizzard will never make this game any less than it should be. Awesome. And to all the hype that came b4 Blizzcon07: Blizzard’s homepage timeline that appeared at their site last year, clearly had a sci-fi motif to it. They were telling us from the get go that it was starcraft. Yet we all sat hoping. Eight more days people, eight more days.

Westmarch is mentioned a lot in The Black Road, and I think Darrick (the main character) hangs out in Westmarch, but the main locations in that book are Ransim and Bramwell. But its confusing because Westmarch is also the name of the region (or is it country? I dunno what to call it).
Moon of the Spider is actually the one to host the city of Westmarch as its primary location.

Interesting. So if we use the first letter of every word in the last paragraph we get:

You are having way to much fun with this...
But I suppose this is good. Whatever the announcement is, from your obvious excitement in endlessly teasing us with riddles, I doubt there will be many who are dissapointed.
1. When you obtained/bought/stole this info (may 1st surprise), was it one of those times when you realize something so awesome you couldn't sleep? 2. (and this one will get people goin insane) has any info/clues/tipoffs/spoilers based on the surprise popped up anywhere on the web. Of which you know?
People probably don't know the meaning of all these mind-boggling riddles. You know what makes me grin just now? People will probably get back to read all these countdown threads and posts after May 1st just for fun, to laught at all the riddles.
Argh, you're evil! Pure evil!
Though you are also correct

Indeed. Too bad I can't ban moderators...
Of course that would have had it's repercussions once Umaro heard of it
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
