Update on the unannounced MMO!
Amd this is their source (lol): http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html;jsessionid=BC8F0682596A98B2FE1E8A8EA381AC0D?topicId=3168513730&sid=1&pageNo=1
IT IS OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED.
Edit: Well... calling it Diablo 3 is speculation because of the focus on the term 'unannounced title.'
For conversation's sake, what is a "Title" anyway?
Anyways I haven't read through all the posts so this may have been said before, but I'm just wondering, isn't it possible that D3 can be a MMO game without being "like world of warcraft"? Since that seems to be what everyone is afraid of, I don't think there's any reason to believe that Blizzard's new MMO will be an mmoRPG (since this would compete directly with WoW).
I mean, its totally possible to have a game that plays just like the Diablo series we love (aka 2-d hack n slash), and still allow for 100 people to walk through the streets of Tristram, or a 40-man raid on Diablo's lair. It would just mean a change in the way experience is earned or quests are accomplished. It seems like a natural progression and an innovation in the area of MMO games for Blizzard to take this style of play and adapt it for the MMO era.
You do know you echo almost every single gamer, dev team and publishing company in the world, right?
