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?
If the next Diablo game turns out to be an MMO though... I'm probably going to stick to counsels for awhile.
LOL!
MMO are meant to be time sinks, hack and slash MMO's don't exist because they can't last. Look at how easy it is to get rich in Diablo, someone could get very well geared and level 95+ in 2 weeks. All they need to start is some P topazes and time.
Boy, I can't wait for the Diablo MMO day when a Hydra sorc camps outside town effectively locking us all inside. 4,000 sweaty nerds locked in one area because of some hydra.
BUT NO! A hero emerges from the crowd and he has FIRE ABSORB!
I mean I can see it all happening, but the Diablo we know and love just can't be like the MMO of today. In order for there to be a Diablo MMO we would have to sacrifice a lot of our hack and slash.
"Sure the xp can be less, but killing a ton of demons for less xp each>killing demons one by one for more xp each."
That would be the exact same tedious thing as killing single mobs then, sure it would be hack and slash but just as time consuming.
Than again I am not a game developer, or creative enough, so what the hell do I actually know, haha.
No, think about it. Killing many of demons is much funner than killing a few, and you get bored of it slower. And you get alot more excited knowing you can kill a couple hundred demons a day once your godly instead of maybe one hundred.

I like your way of thinkin'. That was why I liked diablo soooo much, it was all about the evil. The fact that you were in some rank dark place with the intent of killing everything in sight. Sorry, I am not one of those that was really to much into being the good guy, hence I play horde more on WoW than Alliance.
A very dark game with the tunes of doom, as in we're doomed not the game. As an MMO I would expect that they would let you play some strange form of demonic characters on the side of darkness, could be wrong just a thought.
The fact is that the game they are working on IS an MMO, so it's either something new or D3. Either way get ready for monthly fees too. I mean okay so we don't pay for this enormous server system they have but can we then expect them to keep it up and running if we don't contribute some funds? Just a thought.

Hot Job – Lead 3D Environment Artist
Blizzard Entertainment, the developer of Diablo and Diablo II, is looking for a lead 3D environment artist skilled at creating models and texture maps for both architectural and natural environments. The ideal candidate has experience modeling and texturing assets for a diverse visual range of environments.
Take a look at the job posting here.
Ouch! "And another one bites the dust"
"What do all men with power want? More power.." ~The Oracle~
In this case, in this world, money means power, and there's never enough of it.
I will assume also that paying 2500 salaries is expensive as well as the massive amounts of real-estate they have to have in various countries for Blizzard representation there on top of the extremely massive amounts of top-end computers and servers required to keep their games going.
That would be a very interesting thing if it's true. I don't know why blizzard is trying to keep it a secret anyway. Maybe THEY don't know exactly what it will be yet.
