As usual, Blizz's tongue-in-cheek writing style is fun, but the WoW style map of Paris attracted my attention. Click on it.
P.S. I realize that this could be something else - my first thought was a ferris wheel that is seasonally in that area. But if it were just a ferris wheel, wouldn't Blizz write something cute for the Invitational guests to want to go? No idea about those other buildings.
Just a thought, but thought it would be fun to share/discuss as we wait for the big reveal. Have a good week!
P.S. I addressed all the issues already that people have been bringing up. Obviously this is not concrete proof but I thought it was interesting.... as I said before, just a thought.
So everyone kept talking about the upcoming Invitational as a potential event for Blizz to announce D3's release. I am, as I'm sure everyone is, excited for the unveiling in a couple days but, until then, here's something I want some second opinions on.
As usual, Blizz's tongue-in-cheek writing style is fun, but the WoW style map of Paris attracted my attention. Click on it.
Now for some stream of consciousness:
"Oh cool... there's the Eiffel Tower... cute quotes relating the tourist sites to WoW/Starcraft (Diablo is notably absent) - gotta click 'em all! Hmm... there are a lot of cemetaries and the whole feel of this map is kinda creepy. Ohh! The Louvre! I wonder if they'll have something written about the 'Da Vinci Code.' Wait, what's that next to it? I can't click on it... hmmm. WAIT. Is that... a Pentagram? The only other two non-clickable buildings are small, yes, but their architecture looks a little like the starting town in the original Diablo. It couldn't be a hint at a Diablo-related announcement... or could it?"
Judge for yourself and share your thoughts!

Perusing the Invitational site, I happened upon the heading "Paris" http://eu.blizzard.com/wwi08/region.xml.
