lol, its kinda funny and/or sad but i didnt notice either. Even after i read it i was like "Oh! A new site, i should go there!" Little did i know i was already there haha...
But with diablo 3, they should oust battle.net also. Too much cheating on bnet. I'd rather pay to play and actually have fun everytime i play rather than see someone with hacked out stuff that will always be better than me, ya know?
I must say i agree on this, though I never played WoW, i can actually imagine Diablo become a great MMORPG game, and not to mention "dark" one
Did anyone rise an eyebrow when Trag'Oul the dragon was about to enter Sanctuary and voices stopped him from doing so because the fate of Sanctuary would mark the fate of the other worlds?
Those voices were guardians from those other worlds ... guardians such as Trag'Oul. Doesn't that sound like there are plans for a MMO where at some point Diablo players will continue the heaven vs hell war across other worlds beyond Sanctuary?
Do you remember Rogue Angels and Rogue Demons united to create Sanctuary? And there was a War against the Nephalem. Where did all those Rogue Angels go? Why is there only Inarius in the whole Trilogy? hmm ...
I actually did not rise my eyebrows so much, maybe because I've never thought about it. But now that you mention it...
Anyway, I might add up to your theory by mentioning the sole fact that the whole sinwar Troilogy is MMO material. If you think about it, the story never have a real "main" character, that couldn't been anyone else. It was more "convenience", a "possible" way to solve the unbalance. A random act of nature. If you look at it this way:
In an MMO, the character Uldyssian would be exchanged by loads of players, players that - such as WoW, will have to work together to kill BIG bosses (like lilith, or Mephistos accursed son). The players would be the group that Uldyssian bring along, the (can't seem to remember their names =/), you take the point.
Atleast it struck my mind not long ago.
By the way, I am thinking of starting to write a crosstext, and what an eventual MMO would be accordingly with the books.
And in the end I might add: "You were told the ending, now it is time to know the beginning".
Thanks a bunch, Mr_Wood, and hope the Norwegians get shaken too ;p
Palenimbus, news usually take a while to reach certain places. Emails have been sent to various gaming sites ... however, the forums queue the emails. It may take a while specially with all the activity. Already over 10,000 views in this very thread.
Some sites are already catching up and posting news. Gamona, IGN(Ve3d) and PCGame.De already posted news of Today's announcement. It is a matter of time before it spreads all around. Blizzplanet alone is a news source to many gaming sites in China, Germany, Italy, Sweden, France, just to name a few.
I will keep a list of all the sites linking to this newspost here
ROFL -- I loved Actiontrip's way to announce it. Hilarious.
Actiontrip had a nice way to put it yea I Have posted this news in my Diablo 3 Rumors and Storyline thread at Norways largest openforum, and people are visiting to read (Of course with redirections). I will send a couple of emails as well to some of the IT nettpapers Gamer.no and ITavisen.no
This is great!
Edit: PS. did you change with blizzard at around this date: 24/12-2007?
And no, I'm not getting out of here, the only way it will happen if you ban me. I enjoy the community and I AM NOT MOVING! I'm just pissed at Umaro and MD, I know they do hard work and spend their own money on that but that counter and explanation of it was way overhyped. And this was done on our backs, the real fans. If I weren't such I won't be feeling that bad and sad now!
So, ok maybe they did post that stuff about "half the web", but it does not really matter. For what are your wishes anyway? That thousands of thousands of people will come here, sign up, not really because they are fans. Mearly because they want to stay tuned for a possible beta-key. And about the whole "over-hyped" case;
Firstly, they did underline the fact that this was not an official announcement, twice actually
Things the May 1 Announcement are not:
1. It is not an official announcement of Diablo 3
2. It is not about an upcoming Diablo novel
3. It is not a Network merge
And secondly; by this actually being big news for this site, it is only natural that they would make a bigger deal out of it. Of course - Blizzard actually wanted to buy their site for their own use. Leaving us brainstorming for reasons.
And third;
Quote from "Aussensaiter" »
MedievalDragon said, nobody should be hyped to much about the Countdown, Diablo Fanz will mostly be blazed, but not all. And that you shouldn't except to much. Stop this shit, and stop Flaming.
The effects were never supposed to be mad, disappointed fans. But, rather take it as it is: A good Diablo3 rumor news! My hopes are up at least Thank you MD and Mockery and all the others providing us with this great info! I will at least spread the news to the interested in Norway!
