Re: Blizzcon 2008 Announced

So now we've got rumors started for two major events in the same year. Wonder which one will actually announce what we want announced. Maybe they'll announce it at the WWI and then have displays and such at Blizzcon '08?

I agree, this it is a very good sign (cue giddy laughter).

However, I hope this doesn't mean there won't be a DIII announcement in June. I don't want yet another wait before we get our lovin'.
