Quote fromThey probably are working on a Diablo MMO simultaneously with a Diablo III RPG
That I can believe, and hope for. It would explain all the posts on Blizzard's site for "top secret jobs" versus "top secret MMO jobs." It would also be logical that Blizz is looking ahead past WoW to keep them on top of the MMO market in 3, 5, or even ten years with a Diablo MMO.

I've heard that many times on this website. Anyone know where I can see some evidence to back that up? Like Diablo 2 sales by country or something?

very likely to be true. People are hoping that the game is much further along in development, and I must admit I hope for that as well. But the most likely scenario is at LEAST another year and a half after the announcement before the game ships.

That was 26 hours ago, and this thread was at 110k views. It now sits at about 141k views. I might just be right lol (if the views spike as much as I had hoped they will).....I hope the site doesnt go down before it hits 180k

Anyways I haven't read through all the posts so this may have been said before, but I'm just wondering, isn't it possible that D3 can be a MMO game without being "like world of warcraft"? Since that seems to be what everyone is afraid of, I don't think there's any reason to believe that Blizzard's new MMO will be an mmoRPG (since this would compete directly with WoW).
I mean, its totally possible to have a game that plays just like the Diablo series we love (aka 2-d hack n slash), and still allow for 100 people to walk through the streets of Tristram, or a 40-man raid on Diablo's lair. It would just mean a change in the way experience is earned or quests are accomplished. It seems like a natural progression and an innovation in the area of MMO games for Blizzard to take this style of play and adapt it for the MMO era.
