    Wow, Blizzard is on an uber hiring spree.

    I don't think I've ever seen this many jobs posted in such a short amount of time... BIG stuff happening at Blizzard.

    uhh ... what do you mean?


    I meant the two ads beneath the news on the front page (I just noticed them, I don't truly know how long they've been there) look very similar, and are in a similar place, to BlizzPlanet's ads... Not that it's bad... It does support my whole d3.com is going over to BlizzPlanets domain though. :)

    Anyone else notice the ad space? Looking a little more BlizzPlanet everyday... :rolleyes:

    Actually that's the first thing I've noticed, but... Who knows? Not I. And that is 'for sure'.

    posted a message on April Fool's Day gag from Blizzard - The Diablo Loot Piñata!
    Quote from "AcidReign" »
    Anyone else find it interesting that the Diablo Loot Pinata picture was drawn November 2007?

    Not really. Blizzard seems to be pretty future-minded (these days) so it would make since that they had someone working on an 'April Fools Joke' 5 months ago...

    Now what would be interesting to know is whether each joke was put on by it's own team. i.e. The StarCraft team making the Tauren Marine, the WoW team doing the WoW... the DIABLO TEAM doing the Pinata... Maybe they where sooo busy developing D3 they didn't have the time the other teams had to put on a more in-depth April Fools?

    Just a hope :)

    Woa!!

    Relive all the epic battles of Diablo with:

    The Diablo Loot Pinata!

    Am I a nerd or does this excite anyone else?

    Edit: Wait... April fools? Damn.

    Edit 2: There are a lot of April fools jokes from Blizzard this year... Anyone know what they did last year? Just curious.

    Edit 3: If there where a bard in WoW (especially a double-guitar wielding Jimmy Page-like bard) I would buy and subscribe- Just for it.

    Mister Rogers..

    I watched (and liked) Mr. Rogers too but... That was pretty boring. His slow speech is great for little kids, however; I bet they passed it just so he would stop talking.

    BTW use that same trick (slow talking) on annoying people (policemen, reporters, annoying customers) and it'll be the sweetest revenge ever! ;)

    Also: Another job posting by Blizzard.

    I don't know how much I like the pay for special features option... I have never subscribed to play Hellgate: London and haven't felt that the extra features are worth it. I think the only feature I'd like is being able to create a guild...

    On another matter, I find strange how there is 3D interface in single player where you can see Raynor's full body interacting with the computers inside the Battlecruiser's bridge and engineering room. Makes you wonder if Starcraft 2 is a RTS/MMO hybrid.

    Ooo... A RTS/FPS would be awesome! Being to play the individual character to, say, level them up. Even in the middle of a battle , to be able to zoom in and take direct control over a unit. Alot of different ways you could go with this...

    This makes me wonder at what all could be done with the next Diablo...:confused:

    That's what all those suckers who pay-to-play WoW are for. :D

    Edit: Anyone know how long Blizzard has owned diablo3.co.uk? Cus it takes you to the Arreat Summit...

    I'd much much rather think of Guild: Wars.

    Yes, me too!

    Yes. BlizzPlanet is already hosting them. (I forget where, but I do believe MD mentioned it somewhere) All you'd have to do is redirect urls and links (if it's set up right). We'll prolly see a redirect from this site before everything gets set in place over at BlizzPlanet.

    This is, of course, an big IF.

    Edit:

    It's the other way around. Blizzplanet is hosted directly or indirectly by Diablo3.com Servers the past two years.

    I bet you Diablo3.com (The Diablo 3 News Forum) gets moved to BlizzPlanet IF Umaru has to hand the domain over to Blizzard.

    Edit: Just realized that's probly what the "Forum Updates" are about!

    Wow... I didn't know Blizzard would go the whole lawyer rout... That's kind of gay.

    But WOOT anyways!

    Umaro did probably sale his domain


    Actually, since Blizzard owns the trademark, I think they just take it...

    Sorry to distract you guys from the topic ;) but Blizzard posted another job yesterday (2008.03.26).

    I know it doesn't start with "The teams behind Diablo I and Diablo II..." but, it's still news. And they do mention Diablo...

    It most probably has to do with the Battle.net updates they where talking about.

    In the Fury of the Sunwell trailer, the end really got me excited. It reminded me so much of Diablo.

    NO NO NO! I just watched it... That laugh is sooo familiar.

    I really hope it isn't Diablo :(
