Diablo can pull fans from bases other than WoW not to mention serious MMO freaks who will play anything.
Not to mention starting a new MMO when WoW is so steep (people going from 1 to 80? thats not appealing to a new buyer looking to start a game) staggers the market and sucks in potential new buyers AND younger ones (eg., wow came out in 04, youngins are 4 years older and have money/credit cards etc.,)
It would be tapping more resources from a business standpoint.
This si true, I just think they wouldn't make another 1 when they have one thats already very popular and most likely going to stay that way for a long time. The most thing that would make sense would be either DIABLO 3 or a WHOLE NEW GAME.
Because WoW is starting to lose players. Slowly, granted, and they have a very large base, but things are on a downward trend at the moment. And out of those millions of players a very large percent are in the Asian market. Blizzard's perfectionism is hurting them because it just doesn't work with an MMO, you have to be able to churn out new, quality content before players get burned out.
Blizzard North was originally an independent company. It was established in 1993 under the name Condor, founded by Max Schaefer, Erich Schaefer, and David Brevik.
Then i got to thinking, the name evilpenguin was provided to us by blizzard and now thats all we can see when we look at the picture. Take a look, purple penguin or purple condor? Pay attention to the frill around the neck.
thats a great observation so the people who made diablo 1 and 2 were evil?

Also doesn't help that WoW looks like a damn cartoon.

[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]Hell is an Illusion......There is only Death.
So... I've been lurking here all these 5 days (well, from time to time before as well), and read hundred of pages the last days... Today I gave up, every time I read a page of posts, a there were 2 new ones - Another reason why I stopped reading was because I felt i was reading the same thing over and over for 5 days. People posting "OMG OMG OMG IT'S A DIABLO RUNE" still...
Anyways, I dug up Diablo 2 again (guess I'm not alone), so far a lvl 25 paladin - just killed Mephisto in Act III.
Then, when I watched the video before Act IV, where Diablo enters the hellgate, there were some closeups of his feet. Small resolution video, but I did a screenie of it, and merged together with the penguin image just for fun.
I'm not claiming that it IS his feet, all I'm saying is that there are similarities
Diablo was in disguise in that video, before his evil penetrated his human body. Maybe he's just in a penguin-disguise this time? Evil penguin after all. We'll see in about 10 hours anyways.

The similarities are uncanny!
Okay.. I'm going to try to prove my viewpoint the way you did (I would appreciate you actually replying to the whole Final Fantasy XI thing)
THE 3 IN DIABLO 3 WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON WHETHER IT IS AN MMO OR NOT.
Where I am its 1.28am and the 28th obviously. Heh heh.
A diablo MMO would most likely be called 'Sanctuary'
but i think blizzard knows this would be a wrong turn for the franchise.
I checked google.com/trends for diablo 3. Since monday it's the highest it's been in years.
Sanctuary? not so much.
