A rep from Blizzard just sent me notice that there would be no more announcements at BlizzCon tomorrow (Saturday), so for those of you (ie: all of you) who were hoping that this would be the day that Diablo 3 was finally confirmed, I'm sorry to inform you that you'll have to continue to wait. We all know that it's eventually coming, but the waiting for the official confirmation of the third game along with some idea of what it will be like is a really hard thing to wait for. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I figured it would be best to tell you about this now rather than have you guys waiting around all day Saturday hoping that we'd hear more about Diablo 3. Thanks for sticking with us though... Blizzard is listening to us and sooner or later (ok, later) Diablo 3 will become a reality.
In other Blizzard-related news, the rep just sent me word that our own Umaro participated in the first-ever Starcraft II tournament with Loc Teinh (from w3roc.com) on his team and won in the first round, but they were unfortunately defeated in round 2 by TeamLiquid. The overall winner of the tournament was TeamLiquid who were then given the opportunity to play Karune and Stephen Chang from the eSports team. TeamLiquid wasn't able to defeat them though. Unfortunately there's no replay video footage from this tournament, but maybe that will change later on.
More news as it becomes available.
Sad Diablo indeed. (thanks to Zabadak for sharing this image with us)
Add them all = 98
Subtract
Z = 26
Z = 26
R = 18
I = 9
Add
D = 4
= 23
23/.666
23 is the number of Cthulu Mythos
Mythos = Diablo's biggest competition
World stone is destroyed, 666 = apocalypse , Tyrael said he does not know what consequences of his actions.

Thats four letters for WOW, and its two expansions, and SC2
The fifth one (D) for their team 3
And THATS 5 greater evils for 5 acts the final one being diablo himself!
Team 3 for diablo 3 and Hellgate london in two thousand whatever to kick all their behinds to the 70's with Commander Keen, who spits on their face in discust. And then a giant BLIZZARD covers the land and erasing everyones memory of the diablo franchise so we all beat each other to a pulp having never played the diablo masterpiece. (Breaths in deep and passes out falling backwards on the floor)
oh yah I had to say it... GIZZARD... teeh, heeh, heeh.
(Regains conciousness and continues while on the floor)
And maybe, just maybe D = 4 indicates that diablo 3 is being skipped all together for diablo 4 to be announced when its done, or later, or sooner, or way later, or never, or RIGHT NOW.

Well, just because we haven't HEARD anything tangible, does not mean that Diablo 3 isn't in the pipeline. I mean, wasn't Starcraft 2 a complete surprise, yet it's quite far along in development. It's amazing how they kept SC2 under wraps like that for so long. And as for pay to play, I am intrigued. Diablo 1 and 2 (yes I still play CD) have become such obsessions in my life that I no longer play any other pc games. They don't hold my interest. I have Dungeon Siege 1 and 2 retail with expansions, and I've barely blown the dust off of them. I have many other games that I have purchased, installed, played for a few hours, then never touch again.I have Serious Sam 2 and Need For Speed Carbon, still in the box, never been installed! If they can offer me a totally immersive Diablo experience, with constantly changing content, class specific quests so that each class is essentially its own game, I'm sold. Here's my blank cheque. Give me some badass necromancer powers and let me run rampant. <edit> I also have Land of the Dead still in the box, never opened, and Im a HUGE George Romero fan. damned blizzard, damned diablo </edit>
*on one side of the feild stands all Diablo fans, poised and ready to resist the approaching masses of demons. millions of demons, an ocean further than the eye can see oppose us, and doubt spreads through many.*
Thasador= STAND YOUR GROUND! We will overcome!!
Darkjay= DO NOT LOSE THE HOPE!! Trust in your neighbor, for he fights for you!!
Carloseus=ARMIES OF SICK!!!! THIS IS WHERE WE FIGHT!! THIS IS WHERE THEY DIE!!!!!
AcidReign=TODAY, NO WARRIOR DIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lord Elfen= REMEMBER THIS ABOVE ALL, OUR SILVER GOD IS WATCHING, MAKE SURE HE IS NOT ASHAMED!!!!
Lord Silver=A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! I bid you stand, MEN OF SICK!!!!!!!
*The forces of SICK now rallied, everyone stands stronger, and courage spreads among all allies. the masses of demons begin marching forward, and soon the two forces clash.*
Thasador=NO PRISONERS!! *stabbing a demon with his Shuriko*
SLAYERS=HAWOO!!!!
Carloseus=NO MERCY!!!! *slashes five demons with the swing of his swords*
SLAYERS=HAWOO!!!
*the battle rages on, but Diablo's Legions push us back. more and more we are pushed, and many of SICK's allies begin to lose hope, and even leave the battlefield, swearing allegiance to Hellgate:London's forces, or to those of Mythos. The battle seems darkening, and the battle continues for days. Until the arrival*
Carloseus=keep fighting men!!! HOLD YOUR GROUND!!!
Thasador= PUSH!!! PUSH THEM BACK!!!!
Darkjay=FIGHT!! FIGHT!!!!!!!!
*Suddenly from the distance we see forces approaching, a large force from our flank. Some lose courage, for surely it is another army attacking from our side and will undo us all. as they approach however, we find them to be forces against evil, and join us in the battlefield. their priests and mages heal our entire army, and with renewed strength and courage, we turn the tide.*
After every sweep of courage-inducing words, I'd probably be heard shouting - from somewhere near the front line: "Fuck that demon ass!" or "Shoot a gooey wad on their collective soulstones!".
You know...just keeping spirits up. Or something.
Oh, and Carloseus, a quote: "OMG WHAT'S HAPPENING TO MY DOODLE"
Remember how when World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King was announced by Blizzard, the official site went from redirecting to www.blizzard.com, to a 403 site instead. 3 days later, the game was announced.
The same has now happened to the official site for Diablo 3. It leaves many to believe that Blizzard will announce D3 on the Games Convention, which takes place 23. - 26. August.
And with the news of a new "secret team" in mind....
This might be it!!!
(fingers crossed everybody!!)
As of now it's redirecting to blizzard.com/diablo2exp

your right, i idk, but it seems more and more that it may be announced. then again, this is what happens at every event. we start finding more and more "proof" that it will come out, and its mostly speculation.

I think blizzard has a special team for Teaser, They are good!
The blizzard europe homepage isnt saying anything about game announcements at all or i dont think. It is only saying playable SC2 and Wrath of the Lich King. Can somebody prove me wrong lol
Ya people. Sigh I guess It's time to pack up and head on home ='(. It's pointless saying Diablo 3 is going to come out. Since D2 LOD came out we all have been waiting for Blizzard to anounce Diablo 3. Seems like they have given up on us. I'm trying not to be negative but it seems like it's over. I still have that glimmer of hope =).
