Blizzard Confirms New Product Next Month!
"It took a good day of calls and emails, but Blizzard just got back to us about the rumor floating around that Starcraft 2 will be announced next month during their World Wide Invitation in Seoul, South Korea.
According to a Korean website, StarCraft 2 is being developed in 3D with a new race and lots of changes for existing units. The site went on to say that additional details would be revealed during Blizzard's WWI on May 19th in Seoul.
When reached for comment today this was Blizzard's official response:
We do intend to announce a new product at the Worldwide Invitational next month in Korea, and we appreciate the enthusiasm and interest in getting an advance look at what that will be, but players will have to wait until May 19th to find out more. Also, we have a very strong connection with the characters and settings of StarCraft, and we do plan to revisit that universe at some point in the future, but we don't have anything new to announce in that regard at present.
So that's a yes on a StarCraft 2, eventually, and a yes to a product announcement next month. The only question now is are they one in the same. " -Brian Crecente, from Kotaku.
So what do you guys think? A lot of people still believe it's gonna be Starcraft (which would be fine too because, honestly, who wouldn't love to see that game revisited just as much as Diablo?) but after a statement like that, I'm thinking it's gonna either be an announcement for Diablo 3 or a completely new Blizzard title. If it's not a Diablo or Starcraft game, I'm putting my money on TacoCraft.
Alright, let the speculation begin! May 19th simply cannot come soon enough.

Ya, no joke. The Burning Crusade video was amazing. I still want them to make it a PvP game Heaven vs Hell.
i pray to god they wont. i hate pvp (if i liked it i'd be ready to play Warhammer Online).
Diablo has always appealed to the PvP. Hell, it invented it. Lvl 5k Fireball FTW. It will be PvP one way or another. Heaven and Hell characters would just make it more epic.
Yep, major accomplishment if it hadn't already been mentiond about 5000 times in the last week
its there's nothing in it i think
oh cool =)
I point this out because www.what-ever.com/index is the first page you see when bringing up a webpage. Unless of course you click another link or otherwise bypass this page.
Haha, good luck with that. I had a program going through a dictionary (with added Diablo, WarCraft, and StarCraft terms) trying a bunch of stuff for a possible url that was posted but hidden... to no avail.
Anyway, good luck! =P
For U.S Pacific the announcements will start on Friday @ 10 PM and for U.S Eastern they will start on Saturday @ 1AM.

for some reason that picture of a nail going through a nail is annoying
