Hah, if anything, June 29th will bring the announcement that in 2 years we will get to pwn for the 3rd time. It has been almost a year since they announced Starcraft 2 and still no release date for that...
Thats what I meant, I would hate to be another company developing a game for the PC. Each of Blizzards games own the market in their genre for about 3-5 years, so any other MMOs, RTSs, or dungeon crawlers that are released during that time are pretty much doomed.
Plus, there is Blizzards next-gen MMO, which if it isn't Diablo (highly doubt it is WoW2 or a SC MMO), could be a new franchise, which I am looking forward to.
I think two pages back, MD said if Blizzard asks them to stop the countdown, they will do so.

So my next question would be was the date picked for a legal/contractual reason, or for reasons more associated with the substance of the announcement itself?
I thought of that myself, and I believe it would be the case if the news is about a site merger with Blizzard... But again MD has been very conservative about it and did not touch the subject more than once.
Carrying on with the subject, I actually hope Blizz's next MMO isn't Diablo or SC related.. I am already thirsty for a WC4, because in my opinion, the world of WoW has grown old. I mean, it's nice to see they're always adding new things and all, but the game itself lost its magic (well at least story-wise, I can't stand how many things threw up on the lore and jus thinking of the number of patches coming after TWotLK my head begins to ache). I'd like to see it finished once and for all so we can actually focus on what's to come.
I believe a new series by Blizzard would be greately welcome by most of the WoW and the other franchises' fans. Start anew, change the concepts of mankind x beasts x demons x other beasts, I'm pretty sure Blizzard is more than capable of fiving us some awesome new stories which don't necessarily involve immediate war between all races in a given universe...
i would think if it was HUGE Blizzard is either making an annoucement the same day and dont care or they havent seen the coverage yet here and will soon then ask to remove
I am quite sure they keep tabs on the fan and rumor sites, so after a week, with the banner on Blizzplanet and all the whispering across the net, I am sure they know about the countdown.
yea i think they know too and arent really concerned because they plan to announce something on that day and for us its technically speculation until the 1st
Well, MD said it wasn't an official announcement so, unless they are just going to announce that there will be game announcements at WWI, I don't really see them announcing anything.

I've read and re-read these forums and I still don't get what's going to happen on 1 May.
I don't get why there is a banner(with heartbeats) on Blizzplanet and not on Diablo3.com.If this annoucement is supposed to be Diablo related why not have the banner displayed rather here? Maybe I'm missing something,does anyone know?:)
So that when Blizzard takes over Diablo3.com and you show up on the 1st and there is just a big Diablo III logo, you will know to go to Blizzplanet to find out what is going on exactly.

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