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)
I personally feel that if Diablo is not even mentioned at this years Blizzcon, that every member at this site (who feels like me) should let blizzard know how much we are disappointed in them. I mean, we actually represent the diablo community, and if blizzard isn't going to respond, we should let them know how we feel. I don't want to hear..."What can we do" bullshit... large groups of people are more powerful then you think. Most of us can write articles posted on blogs ..gaming related websites...form petitions..send emails whatever. Because quite honestly, this years blizzcon (from what I saw the first day via Giga) was boring as hell, and was really a "craft" fest as most other people mentioned. Not only that, but blizzcon was like false advertisement from the beginning. I mean all the help wanted from "diablo 1 and diablo 2 franchise workers", the fucking big ass diablo head sitting on their site when blizzcon was announced as a project, and the fact, that it is supposed to be a convention representing ALL of the blizzard franchises. Can they find any other way to piss us off...I mean seriously.. God forbid they halt production on warcraft...I mean because its really all about the money thats important right? Just let the diablo fans wait and wait...spend 100 bucks to go to your convention..and then bite them in the ass. Yes very nice blizzard...IMO extreme disappointment you've been. I mean they don't even have to "announce" the game really, just give a clue..and at least say SOMETHING about the third franchise. But hey..maybe they do announce it today, and we all look wrong...but its still worth letting them know how we feel.
I personally don't think company like Blizzard could play with their customers. When it will be ready, then it will be the right time.
Can you blame Blizzard, if they did not made any official promise for fans?
If you guys try to look like bunch of emos who can't anything to do just cry over Diablo, and blame Blizzard for anything,then you are stupid stupid little k a n ts.
I don't think anyone is trying to be an emo. I personally have played quite a few PC games. Doom, Warcraft 2, Starcraft and Brood War, Command and Conquer (like 3 of them) Diablo even though I first played it for Playstation before I even knew it was available for computer, Diablo 2 and LOD, Guild Wars, Star Wars Galaxies, WoW and BC, and finally Oblivion. Out of all the games the only ones I really played for a long time were Diablo (1 and 2) and Guild Wars. All the other games I played for a short amount of time, got bored then quit. I currently don't play any games online. I have always loved the Diablo series and have hoped for a new game. Every event Blizzard has with no news of Diablo.. no mentioning of Diablo.. nothing, is just another step towards me forgetting about Diablo and not looking back.
guys try this game as a filler. its called titan quest. its alot like diablo 2 and seems to be alot of fun.
I played the demo, it wasn't bad. I can't play and find myself addicted to games like Diablo 2 without it actually being Diablo, nothing holds a candle to our beloved game.
Transform your hero's look with new character-customization options, including new hairstyles and dances.
HHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA HAIRSTYLES AND DANNNCESS!!!! LMFAO BLIZZARD YOU'VE GONE TO A NEW LOW.
oh, and when companys say "much much more" its like 2 things. theyre really lowering their expectations for games recently.
If you had spent a lot time on the official WoW forums, you would have known that players have been screaming on Blizzard since release that they want new abilities to customize their characters, i.e hairstyles and dances. I have done this too, and I really like the fact that they're listening to us now and giving us something that isn't purely content that advances a characters stats.
Second, the fact that they say "Much, much, more", is precisely because there is much more that is yet to be announced. And 2 things? I think you need to learn to count.
Level 80: 1
Northrend: 2
Insciption: 3
Siege Weapons: 4
Destructible Buildings: 5
Graphical Update: 6
New items, quests, npc's, talents, spells, battlegrounds etc: 7
Death Knight:8
Plus, the Death Knight is just the first out of many new Hero classes to come. And there's still much much more to be announced.

Hi.
Im new to this site (just reg here) but have read the most of the reply here. Somebody gave this site: http://www.blizzplanet.com/content/708
to give some hope on "Two unannounced projects will be unveiled, and there could be a few surprises." . Well, to give further hope (I dont know if you guys have talked about it here yet) but if you look at the picture: http://www.blizzplanet.com/images/messages/starcraft/blizzcon-2007.gif
it say: Starcraft 2, World of Warcraft, Diablo ???.
Well, as one of you who waits for the next game the "Diablo ???" gave me some hope. Maybe (as you guys already have said) they say that nothing was going to be announced then just announced it when everybody think the Blizzcon is over.
We can only wait and see.
:):):):):):):):):):):)
That site is still not official, was probably based on speculation (if very serious speculation) and the info there predates Blizzards statement that there will be no new announcements. Thus I would not hope for anything.
I'm disappointed I must say, but not at all surprised. Oh well, I'll have to look on it from the bright side. At least now I'll have plenty of time to play WoW and try out Hellgate: London.
i aready stated that they should burn >:O.dam stream still isent up yet...so there are two announcements weres number two,sc2 was aready announced befor all this.
Before D3 is release, they will make 3 exp to star2 and more 10 to wow...
I was hoping they release d3 this year...but there no way of this... they will focus in sc2....at least 2 or 3 years...resuming...f¨%¨% Blizzard! I hate blizzard....in my country is impossible to play Wow or any mmorpg.....to play wow i will expend R$230 month, when the popular salary is R$350.

I think you have more things to worry about then a god damn game with that kind of salary.

!?! wow its that steap!!!cant you get an amrican copy of the game.dsl should be enough to play internationally.
was browsing around the blizzcon forums and came across the Beta Key thread. Apparently, some WoW players have tried to complain that the Beta Key does not work? Have they said what the Beta Key is for yet? If they haven't it is still quite possible that this could be the Beta Key for Diablo 3. I've read on other sites that this Beta Key did not have anything on it. Don't have the actual link at this time; but a quick Google should do the job. I'm going to go onto the live feed; since someone pointed out 1hr long opening ceremony. Why would they need an hour if they already announce Lich King and there are supposedly no other announcement? Secondly, why would a Blizz rep say if there was another announcement? That would make no sense on their part and would ruin the whole suprise. I still have hope that they will announce it. I've been playing diablo 2 for too long now; it's time for diablo 3 to finally come out. Don't get discouraged guys.
I for one, do not think Blizzard would tell you that there will be no more game announcements. If someone is there for a game announcement they just might leave, would Blizzard want that? Also, since when does Blizzard say what will happen?
nice article...

Photoshop (though it looks more like a bad MS paint effort) combined with the aforementioned misinformation results in what you see here.
Abandon all hope ye who crave salvation from BlizzCon for none will come!

People that play games use to receive more than this like myself.

But is really really expensive, and really few players can play in the oficial game server.
