A strange move. Could a game rated Mature be the cause for such decision? :rolleyes:
Or maybe Activision Blizzard plans to launch their own ESA version the way they now have their own BlizzCon and WWI apart from E3, TGS-like events.
Mr. Rogers was a very nice guy. I felt a sense of loss when I heard he died. I saw more Mr. Rogers shows than I had wished to ... babysitting sucks sometimes ... but I enjoyed watching him while keeping watch on my cousin. My cousin loved to watch that show too. I'm age 35 by the way.
Rofl. Don't worry. Back on 1996-1998 I think, I had just arrived to New York. I had to babysit the 3-year old baby of my cousin. I had to -- sighs -- watch Barney and Mr. Rogers to keep him at bay from causing a ruckus in the house.
On another note, I got forwarded to a Diablo Team contact around 8pm. I will update if something may be shared. Asked about the patch, BlizzCast 3 and a "possible" standalone Q&A. =)
Nothing is final. Just keeping you in the loop as things progress. Also 25% of the donation goal has been reached. Things look good so far. One of my contacts is back in town, and I asked .... I am still waiting on updates about my flight ticket and hotel accomodations. At least it's now in motion. Once I get my tickets I can use some of the donation fund to acquire a passport.
The job interview this past saturday went "meh". Will keep looking. If anyone here got a job for me in New York City, hey throw me a PM.
I guess the same reaction like everytime, when a game is not announced yet "no comment". (And if the question is related to Diablo III, then you have to grin like shit as a employee :D)
As MedievalDrag. said, there are some marks about SC on the main page, and some news to come.
I'm pretty interrested what the news will bring, even if it sounds a little minor..
MedievalDragon, i caught you again. You edited
Who the fuck is barney?
I don't know how much I like the pay for special features option... I have never subscribed to play Hellgate: London and haven't felt that the extra features are worth it. I think the only feature I'd like is being able to create a guild...
Ooo... A RTS/FPS would be awesome! Being to play the individual character to, say, level them up. Even in the middle of a battle , to be able to zoom in and take direct control over a unit. Alot of different ways you could go with this...
This makes me wonder at what all could be done with the next Diablo...:confused:
Well I meant, like free gameplay RTS, and paid-subscription FPS/MMO mode.
Hmm, I just found a news I posted September 2007. .... see how Chris Sigaty plays innocent?
Gamasutra: I'm still wondering…is Blizzard going to make a single player, kind of third person experience? Because it seems that you could easily build something out of World of Warcraft single player, or something like that. You don’t have to say anything, I was just wondering.
[long silence]
Chris Sigaty: Crickets…
[laughter]
Frank Pearce: The challenge we always have, not just within the World of Warcraft team like I mentioned earlier, but organization wide, is that there's no shortage of great ideas, right? It's just utilizing the ideas we have the resources to achieve.
I played Hellgate closed beta. Far as I know you can play multiplayer free.
The paid-subscription allows you to create a guild, extra-bank slots, access to hard-mode with better loot.
Wikipedia:
There are two types of multiplayer accounts: free and subscription accounts. Subscribers have access to ongoing content updates, expected to be released every two or three months.[citation needed] The initial content updates will include more monsters, more weapons, additional item sets and special quests for ultimate items.
Additionally, subscribers have access to a Hardcore mode, special PvP arenas and a PvP ladder (once implemented), the ability to bypass server queues, a shared storage space with room for 40 items instead of 20, the ability to create guilds, the ability to achieve officer status in guilds, and 24-hour customer support.[14] Subscribers and non-subscribers will be able to interact in all ways in the game. Non-subscribers can join guilds, but not create them.[15] The level cap is set to 50 and up to 24 character slots are available for all players.
On another matter, I find strange how there is 3D interface in single player where you can see Raynor's full body interacting with the computers inside the Battlecruiser's bridge and engineering room. Makes you wonder if Starcraft 2 is a RTS/MMO hybrid.
Technically, they could. I mean you could play Starcraft RTS, or choose to play 3D Characters in battleground a la Starcraft: Ghost Multiplayer ... that would be cool.
I don't feel that Medievaldragon is any more aware of groundbreaking Blizzard news than we are ourselves.
That's debatable. I recall posting news that BlizzCast Episode 1 would be released two weeks before it was released. And no CM had posted about it on the forums yet. I talked about Diablo II patch over a month before it was confirmed in a China interview.
I have open contact with the novel writers, and the community managers. You would be surprised how often I communicate with the CMs. My interviews get posted in the front page of the official site. One is going to be posted soon by Public Relations (Epic Weapons' Frostmourne).
By the time I go to WWI, I would have been already staff member of this community -- Umaro contacted me last night. I know when. At WWI I will meet the CMs in person, they wish to. Fansites will have a special dinner meeting with developers. I will have press badge to have internet access from WWI to update live this community site news.
And most importantly, I plan to synchronize with members of this community that are going to WWI, so that I can upload their own images and journals to the front page.
W-World of Warcraft!!!??? OH GOD!!! Pay to play sucks!.... Ah well, do you think they will put a charge on Battle.net? I heard those rumors are recirculating since the guys at Blizzard have not decided whether or not to put a monthly/bi-monthly charge on B.net. (and no, I don't have the link, you'll just have to find it yourself.)
I have a theory, but it is just that. I have a feeling Battle.net 2.0 will continue to be free-gameplay, with a pay-to-play component with extra-features. Think Hellgate: London.
Hey MedievalDragon, what is your favorite Blizzard game? Favorite game of all time? :confused:
To be honest, my favorite game has been World of Warcraft. I have played it since closed beta 2004. Seconded by Starcraft which I played from 2001.
I purchased Diablo II and LOD by December 2004 to write up the lore in the website. I did enjoy playing the single player beating the game with a mage and necromancer. It kinda sucked when I put my points into frost tree and later on bosses were immune to frost lol. I liked the lore and I have read Diablo: The Sin War. I plan to collect all the Diablo novels at some point.
Or maybe Activision Blizzard plans to launch their own ESA version the way they now have their own BlizzCon and WWI apart from E3, TGS-like events.

Rogers refused to read a 10 minute script, and talked all by himself. Made the funding happen in under 7 minutes of talk.
