Quote from "Medievaldragon" »I think I know what happened. When I highlighted the Xfire news at the XFire URL --- for some reason Blizzcon 2007 is somewhere in the code, invisible. When you paste the highlighted text that shows up.
Quote from "DyzfunktioNaL" »Interesting...I do believe that this is a slip up on xfire's part... However, if they were to take it down now wouldn't that just cause people to ask more questions?
Quote from "simba1983" »Blizzard tends to host a major gaming event to annouce a new title;
WWI 2007 was hosted in South Korea, (Starcraft's biggest fan-base).
WWI 2008 is being hosted in France, (Diablo's biggest fan-base).
WWI 2007 FAQ: "When was the Worldwide Invitational? The Worldwide Invitational was held on Saturday, May 19, and Sunday, May 20.
Starcraft "and" Starcraft: Broodwar, were both released in March. (North America and PAL territories respectively).
This year's WWI 2008 also happens to be hosted in the same month (the same birthday, *Diablo loot pinata cough* even), for the Diablo franchise.
Will Diablo 3 be annouced? Not necessarily. A Diablo-type game looks to indeed suffice. It "could" be Diablo 3, a Diablo MMO, Diablo go-kart racing, or Diablo-Hello Kitty. Heck, it could just be a major gaming event to annouce plush toys and a D2 patch.
"However", this is the heavily rumored Diablo 3; so why not go play Hellgate: London? Remember, this is no longer "just" Blizzard Entertainment; their now backed by Vivendi and Activision as well.
Blizzard's been known for their quality vs. quantity. However, it's been nearly a decade since they revolutionized the gaming industry.
.......The One Ring was all but forgotten, until picked up by a hobbit. Let the battle for Middle Earth commense.

Quote from "SteelVelocity" »You guys are fucking idiots. It's well known that Blizzard is buying all the Diablo.com domains. This isn't news worthy of a 14 day wait, it is a betrayal of trust.
No... Blizzard bought diablo3.com and *merged* it into their network. I'm beginning to question your I.Q..

Quote from "Prodigy" »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
Quote from "Schism" »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.
Quote from "Schism" »It would be funny if nothing happened in WWI.

I didn't make the thread to complain that I would still complain when the game came out. If it seemed that I was complaining than that was completely unintentional. I was just saying that from the point of view of someone who's been following Diablo 3 for a long time it will be unlikely that I would forget something like a delay in the development cycle and/or release date. That's all.

Good point, that makes a lot of sense. I didn't see it like that.

Now I would agree with him, but I still remember Half-Life 2 being over a year late. Granted Half-Life 2 was also a really great game, but I still clearly remember upgrading my computer with a Radeon 9800 Pro just for Half-Life 2 only to have it come out over a year later after it's first set in stone release date. It doesn't matter how great a game is in my opinion. If a great game is really late or has a super long development cycle people will still remember that.
Just to make it completely clear I am not complaining about Diablo 3 being late or anything like that. We've never been given any sort of release date, unless you count the November 2011 target release window they gave us. I am just taking a Jay Wilson quote and disagreeing with his sentiment on the matter.

Final Fantasy XIII-2
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Mass Effect 3
I Am Alive
Prototype 2
The Secret World (There is not set release only April 2012)
Max Payne 3
After Max Payne 3, which comes out in may, the next game I want in 2012 is Resident Evil 6 in late November. Now there are a ton of TBA 2012 games, but I am only going on ones that have relatively solid release dates. So I'm hoping Diablo 3 comes out between now and June/July at the latest. These are only hopes though.

With there being no Blizzcon this year, I am curious as to whether or not Blizzard will make any sort of appearance at PAX or E3.

I will update once a month until Diablo 3 is released, and possibly even after lol!

I think it would be cool for the orbs to all have active physics inside, but that might be a little much.
