Beta Keys?, is that officially part of the "reward" for handing over the domain?. Because if it is, Is that not basically concrete confirmation of diablo 3 being in the works.
That's simply common Fansite Program benefits. I'm talking from experience with Blizzplanet.
On December 5, 2006, Blizzard gave me 100 Burning Crusade beta keys to giveaway in a contest. On 2004, I was given some WoW beta keys too. All other fansites also get beta keys to give away.
Please tell me they paid you to give up the domain name.
Mockery gave the domain name to Blizzard free. No money was requested by Mockery. I think that was kind, and shows Blizzard and everyone in this community how valuable and selfless Mockery is. In the long run this will benefit this community because Blizzard will be supporting Diablofans.com with recognition in various ways that aren't disclosed fully. =)
I agree, I think it was a very smart idea to cooperate with Blizzard as much as possible. Its definitely a good thing to have someone as important as them in your favour.
I've taken the last day and a half to read all the posts and mull over the news. I'm in the camp that sees this as significantly consequential news. I'm also in the camp that believes MD and crew were not responsible for overhype (minus the diaper comment). MD especially did a good job of attempting to keep an even keel within this raucous community.
Those feeling victim to overhype ought to save that rage for the inevitable day when hack-n-slash is reborn. The day is nigh upon us friends.
While I agree it was nice that mockery didn't put up a fight to maintain control of the domain, I'm fairly certain that Blizzard wouldn't have paid him anyway. They own the rights to all things Diablo and just like they've done with other domains, they just take them. Again, I agree he did the right thing by making the process nice and easy and out of court or whatever, but the whole "I'm the shit cause I didn't take money from them" is debatable. Anyway, like MD had said - this is a step in the right direction; I'm looking forward to the WWI this year.

Sorry, to debunk that. I know a European domain name who was purchased by Blizzard. I won't disclose the amount.
but the whole "I'm the shit cause I didn't take money from them" is debatable.
I don't see where you are pulling this from? Yes, he said he was going to give it free, but that doesn't imply he is on a high horse about it. Like he said, he did it to make it an easy transition. Since he wanted to see the Diablo-ball moving wouldn't he and the others want to make it as smooth and efficient as possible? I know I would.

The game looks exactly similar to what I would Imagine diablo 3 after playing the first 2 extensively. plus I'm not sure but I think blizzard north was mostly the ones responsible for diablo 3 and this would prob be named diablo 3 if they didn't break off lol.
www.mythos.com This is essentially what I would see Diablo 3 being. Its from the same creators as diablo being made from blizzard north (broke off from blizzard if you know the history).
The game looks almost exactly identical to Diablo in ways. Check it out looks really cool. And like Diablo it will be FREE. before you flame saying this isn't Diablo actually LOOK at the site and the trailers and stuff.
This is actually my first post here but, I visit this site very often. I wanna say congratulations on being able to keep this site up and keep it respectable enough Blizzard offered to put a link to it on their site. Thanks for all the great information I wish the best for this site. And like everyone else, I can't wait for D3 to some out!

1. The game title is not "Diablo III or World of Diablo"
2. The game title is not "Diablo III or World of Diablo"
and last but not least...
3. The game title is not "Diablo III or World of Diablo"
I am really tired of people saying...."Hellgate London is your sequel"...."Mythos is your diablo 3"...."Flagship Studios group made Diablo and they are no longer part of Blizzard"
The next diablo game is one that continues the story as a prequel or a sequel and is created by Blizzard. Having a different game title such as the ones I stated above are NOT the next diablo game.

i dont want to sound like a negative nancy but this games budget looks like it was about $33.72! i played the beta and its really kind of embarassing.. there were a couple of the employees that worked on d1 and d2 on the mythos team but all that did was make them create a wow-like d2 knockoff that just feels like it is so uninspired and unoriginal. i dont want to smash ur dreams of a fun game but im just sayin that no company, not even flagship :rolleyes:, can keep up with the quality of games blizz puts out. dont get ur hopes up on this mythos thing. its a dissapointment

EDIT: Ok, found the old page where I announced the Burning Crusade Beta Key Contest.
