More domain name fun. Ricard sends word that on 24th March Blizzard registered the diablo3.es (Spain) domain. They recently also aquired the diablo3.de domain from a third party. Before announcement of the title they'll want to gather up as many domains and that includes pre-owned ones as is the case with the German one. Whether the announcement is imminenet (E3 in May) or a little way off (Blizzcon in October) we're not sure but betting on either is safe.
You can check out the Spanish domain reg here, you'll need to type in the code printed above the form box to gain entry to show the page.
-- If you go to www.diablo3.es, or www.diablo3.de it brings you to Blizzard's website.
D3.com should not sell this domain to them but share it. The mainpage should
have a splashscreen displaying two sides:
WELCOME TO THIS SHARED DOMAIN
Go here to Blizzard's official diablo III page
Go here to continue to the unofficial Diablo III fanpage, covering:
- Game guides and strageties
- Discussions
- Live chat
- ................
Also, the splash mainpage can could be devided into two frames (left /right or top/ feet)
so Blizzard could fill in and design their own part and D3.com just uploads their data for the
opening/ link page.
I would be more than happy to partner with Blizzard should they wish to contact me about the domain (it's not like we're not gonna be promoting the hell out of whatever Diablo 3 stuff they eventually release), but I have no desire to sell it. I'm not in this for a quick buck. I'm in this to have a great fan site that we can all enjoy and discuss the game(s) we love on.
And knowing is half the battle...
