Believe it or not, months before Starcraft2 was announced, Blizzard did the same thing with all the Starcraft two related domains as well. They bought them all.
so i am willing 2 bet all i own on an announcement/teaser or cinematics of something diablo at wwI on either june 28 or 29th

For all who have waited the time has come pick up your axes, swords,spears, and bows the awakening of hell is upon us protect sanctuary to your dieing breath

haha i like the signature and those of u taht said this wasnt worth the 2 weeks of hype... cmon honestly? knowing that blizzard is going to use diablo3.com for their own purposes? hello anyone home?

But not starcraft2.com
Blizzard have owned starcraft2.com since at least 2002 (archive.org) and probably as far back as 1999 (domaintools.com)
Am i the only person pissed about the hype ? Yeah i get it its a domain acquisition , but this news wasn't worth 2 weeks of waiting and of hinting/poking diablo fans. I've all ways felt that umaro wouldn't do the same to other diablo fans as would blizzard do onto us (poke us to death with hints/rumors)
Truth be told , we don't have anything right now but a domain purchase verification. It could mean diablo3 is coming or it could mean that blizzard is just protecting the franchise , so don't get your panties in a bunch and wait for 29th of june.

What were you expecting? you knew that this wasn't an official announcement and in the two weeks coming up to the announcement most people (at least it's what i saw) came to the conclusion that blizzard was taking over Diablo3.com.

time is not important in these cases for blizz as they can force the original owner to transfer the site whenever they want.. it's clearly stated in the ownership rights. there is no point in the trademark names, as diablo or sc or wc, if they wanted, they would point them all to payusallwearethebest.com filled with malware ads.. its just their right to do so
anyway, its almost 5 am here in slovakia (central europe) so i'm going to bed.. i hope for some d3 info to pop up soon, love you and this community! be sure, that we are the only thing that keeps d3 alive.
*sigh*
Let me make this clear, PAL!
Blizzard originally OWNED Starcraft, Warcraft, and Diablo.
They did NOT OWN anything else.
Then, as they expanded, they started to buy the rights to other things, like Diablo 2, Starcraft 2, World of Warcraft... Etc.
So, GUESS WHAT, you're WRONG. Blizzard did not own Diablo and DIABLO 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc. Just by BUYING Diablo.
They had to seperately purchase the Diablo sequel ownership as time went on. You don't own the "Sky" just for purcashing "Space".

I expected more , but I think it's worth 7 years of waiting , it's 5 am in France and I've been waiting all night xD
But I still believe there's other information , maybe I'll stay up to see what's going to happen in a few hours .
If Blizzard officially announce the game , I'm dropping off school LOL
you live in france? you should have planned to go to blizzards WWI. (even if you're not near paris it's a lot closer than i am lol)

Because if you paralel the existance of a starcraft2.com, worldofwarcraft.com with this new acquisition, the chances of diablo3.com being used (soon according to the coincidences) are high.
i love t he prepubescent rage... makes me laugh... anyways umaro i love the dark layout... more fitting for diablo and i hope to hears some good news out of WWI
What the hell did you expect? This is by far the biggest news in the last 10 years.
Yeah, which is a bit sad. I mean if this is the biggest count down and hype in 10 years, then imagine how long you gotta wait for Diablo 3 now... This is just a suck-fest.
you can own "Sky" as a name of a computer game, or what do I know, a chocolate bar, and no one can take you sky1 or sky 2 or sky 55 as long as it is a chocolate bar, or a computer game... got it?
if it was not so, SEGA and NINTENDO would be able to take diablo and have SONIC run around killing daemons in marioworld.. got it? its just like that. im not wrong
Too bad I can make a game called Diablo 10 and have Sonic running around at Mach 10 fighting a super villain named Diablo.

you could, if you had 155 trillion dollars to pay them for breaking their tm right
I'm not talking about Diablo 1, Diablo 2, or Diablo 3, because Blizzard now OWNS those names.
But I'm talking about Diablo 10, or Diablo 11, things that have nothing to do with Blizzard.
They do not own Diablo 101029234284824828482848. I'm sorry. All they own right now is Diablo 1, Diablo 2, and Diablo 3, maybe Diablo 4, but thats it. Diablo 5, 6, 7, etc. Are all free and no one owns them.
