so i noticed that they dont mention any expansions in the timeline. this can mean one of two things:
A) they simply didnt feel the need nor want to include expansions into the timeline. /shrug
they didnt include the expansion on purpose because it would mess up the order of the timeline, which could have been totally planned. thus the order would be W,W,D,S,D,W,W. if this being the case then next in line would indeed be D3.
If you visit the current blizzard timeline showing StarCraft (www.blizzard.com) you can see some sort of image below the "19" in "1998" which I'm not sure what it is. Under the "S" in "StarCraft" though it looks like a planet with either a sun poking around the side or maybe a nuclear explosion...
Am I saying it's StarCraft II image, no. All I'm saying is that it looks like the background image is sublty changing with each new day (or game) that passes.
Day 1: WarCraft related background & WarCraft picture (OMG must be WarCraft 4!)
Day 2: Diablo related background & Diablo picture (OMG must be Diablo 3!)
Day 3: StarCraft related background & StarCraft picture (OMG must be StarCraft 2!)
Day 4: Diablo related background & Diablo picture (OMG must be Diablo 3!)
Day 5: WarCraft related background & WarCraft picture (OMG must be WarCraft 4!)
Day 6: World of WarCraft related background & WarCraft picture (OMG must be World of Warcraft 2!)
Day 7: They announce StarCraft 2.
If you can't see the pattern.. well I think you know.. actually you probably don't so I'll just tell you. You are retarded.
Chill out goodguy8705. This is exciting times for all Blizzard fans alike and let people relish in the excitement and joy that comes with a new game announcement. In the past Blizzard has been known to hide subliminal messages in graphics so there's nothing stopping them from doing it this time around. Do you remember the day they announced Ghost?
The day they made the first announcement for SC: Ghost Blizz had a similar splash page on it with an impercievable graphic. As the day progressed nearing the time of the official announcement the graphic slowly came into focus revealing the faint features of what appeared to be a ghost. At that time forums were all buzzing about the possibility of SC2, and everybody was convinced that would be it. Eventually the truth came out about a new game altogether, but their marketing strategy was enough to stir up hype and entice people.
I wouldn't put it past them to try a similar approach on the 19th as they did then. Again, my prediction is on Sat. the graphic will start off with the faint outlines in the background (like the Diablo claws or blades of grass), and will evolve from there either suddenly or progressively. Why else would they bury those wallpapers like that? It's not like they offer any semblance to the overall message except to inspire imagination.
In any case, people are still excited to find out what it'll be so it wouldn't kill you to let them enjoy it.
A Diablo 2 expansion would be cool too, Act 6 anybody? But, according to the timeline, all expansions fit into current games. SC Brood War, WoW Burning Crusade, D2 LOD, so, I don't think it's an expansion of any sort. A whole new product.
If Diablo 3 had an expansion that would ROCK too because then we'd have to wait AGAIN and I never go to wait for the Diablo 2 expansion.

It can also be inferred that as you progress across the timeline you're following a natural pattern of up, down, up, down. The newest item will fall along the bottom line, along with the other RTS games.
well i now think its gonna be starcraft game, i just find a little theory maybe its coincidence but the announcement gonna be a saturday may 19th, saturday starts with a S, and the 19th letter in the alphabete is an S .... plz be a coincidence ! i want diablo 3 but journalist will probably ask them about diablo3 at the WWi anyway so we might get something...
you can make some other patterns too.
Like:
W/W
D/S
D/W
W/? (only thing remaining here is S)
Or what about
W/W/D
S/D
W/W/? (S)
Or
W/W/D
S/D
W
W/? (S)
Or
W/W/D/S/D/W/W - S/S/D/W/D/S/S
and some other stuff.
you are way too geared for SC. you are only noticing those for SC, and thats ok, because im geared for D. but the difference is that we ALL are geared for D, after all, what else is this forum for?
W/W
D/D/S
W/W
?/?/? (D/S/D)
and so on.....
W/W
D/D
S/W
W/S
D/W
S/W
and so on..
but the most probably is:
W/W
D/D/S
W/W
D/D/S
S/W/D
because i think that they would be putting emphasis on honoring the franchises that made them the most money and gave them ability to do what they do now. such as first WC since it was their first and strongest following, D for bringing a whole new crowd and giving them another powerful hand in PC gaming, and then SC, for bringing those who are more interested in futuristic RTS.
if you think of it logically, SC kinda already had its chance. SC ghost after all is a part of that franchise, and failed miserably. hence in my reasoning it will be either an addition to the Diablo franchise, or a whole new franchise. maybe even an RPG of futuristic setting such as a diablo just more advanced or something. but then, there are too many of those out so count it out.
in a logical sense, Diablo deserves it most and will probably get it too, because blizzard must know by now that diablo fans are and have been sick of the lag, the unconstant updating, and the unruly duping and such that goes on in battlenet. SC still has alot of tournaments and updates, meanwhile Diablo II is not really loved or paid attention to.
well it just mean on saturdays 19th its all about STARCRAFT... hek, diablo game is not even on the official WWI website. but i prefer diablo to be release later so its gonna be gorgious looking (i hope) .

SC2? No! I don't want SC2. Still, if it isn't Diablo III, I'd want Starcraft 2 next, ANYTHING NOT RELATED TO WARCRAFT! Warcraft is getting annoying.
Diablo III would be bomb.
Guys, the images in the GFX is nothing, I can't see anything. They are just images. No teasers. JUST images. I can't wait until the 19th!

I'd still rather have a Diablo 3 or another Diablo 2 expansion.
If Diablo 3 had an expansion that would ROCK too because then we'd have to wait AGAIN and I never go to wait for the Diablo 2 expansion.

every website / magazine / whatever...
knows just as much as we do
they just want to guess so they can say 'we told you so' and get more attention to their site / mag.
just because someone higher up says something doesnt necassarily make it true
