It didn't deserve the hype , i knew it was coming but i hoped it wouldn't be so lame as a domain take over. Seriously 2 weeks for this ?It's not even an heart beat.
we all knew what it wasn't and had a pretty good idea of what it was. Umaro and MD both said that some people were going to be disappointed and to others it would be what they have been waiting for all these years.

We're missing the point, why would Umaro need to send emails to all the gaming websites for this news? Why would "half the internet" link to diablo3.com in 14 days? (that's now) Just because of them aquiring the website? I doubt it.
Either it's hugely overhyped, or they haven't released everything yet. (I would keep Diablo3.com in your eyes the comming few hours)
hopefully, ill be checking in at 12 to see if anything else happened, then probably tomorow morning ~
er i wish i could just play WoW and forget about this sight.. my rogue needs lvling up..
but if diablo is announced any time soon im cancelling my account and installing d2 again~ gotta find those pesky cd keys 1st though
I heard Umaro and MD voted for different things but whatever
This is over-hyped a bit, but still bigger news than what most people think it is...
My signature needs to be fixed now, the edges of it are showing off... not quite sure why Jetrall couldn't just completely cut the corner off as I wanted to use this at other sites

don't get your hopes up. believe it or not this is probably it, take what you want from it.

This is good news imo, blizzard had 7 years to get domain names like "Diablo3.com" but didn't until now. Considering the closest thing to D3 that blizzard posted before this was new ladder seasons, I'll take this has a small victory.
True but why would half the web link to dliablo3 to a domain take over ?
Because in a lot of people's (gaming sites) eyes this is huge. Also MD or Umaro, i can't remember which, said that "Half the web" was a little exaggerated and it was more like "Half the gaming sites."

Anyway, I'll still be watching IRC and here for the next 24 hours, just incase there is actually more..Didn't MD say there was a press release about it or something? I don't see why they would have a press release for a domain name takeover..
Well, at least the site looks kick ass and im glad i fixed my avatar before this happened and now it doesn't look retarded with the background. Also, when is jetrall gonna fix the banner?

I think why blizz is doing this is because they're trying to buy out and take all the diablo 3 related impostant damains with alot of fans(like this one) and then in a couple of month turn them by pointing the url to the blizz home page, basically just destroying it. So that there are no hopes for D3, because, for instance, they're not even thinking about Diablo anymore. Its not me being pesimistic , but it's what it looks like, i mean look at all the other diablo 3 related sites that were bought off.. they all point to blizzard.com. Think about it, sorry if I offended anyone lol.
The hype was created not just for the announcement, but to bring back people interested in the Diablo franchise. June 29th seems to be a promising date, and with the acquisition of the official diablo3.com domain name, it is to bring hope to those who have waited for any news 7+ years. Be happy with this latest bit of info, and don't scrutinize those who have tried to make the anticipation of diablo3 enjoyable. --seriously, its childish. Special thanks to Umaro, mockery, and Medievaldragon... and those who have put all of this together for us.
also, those who are disappointed clearly don't realize the significance of this domain name purchase. if you'd been hanging on to every thread of a rumor that popped up the past few years, you'd be starving for something like this. if Blizzard bought Diablo3.com, you can be sure they bought it to use it.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.

On a different, more positive note, I love the new look of the site, and I still have hopes for Diablo 3 at WWI.
Now back to my normal routine...
