- If you are wondering, I contacted my XFire liaison around noon. No response as of 3pm.
- Also one of my Blizzard liaisons. Blizzard has not made any press releases concerning a Game Announcement.
Original Story
XFire either accidentally posted there would be a Game Announcement based on the rumors sprung from DiabloFans.com and Blizzplanet, or they know something and oops ... slipped it. Did XFire confirm there will be a game announcement?
As usual, I will communicate with my XFire and Blizzard contacts for a comment to clarify this new rumor. Stay tuned for updates.
At this point, this is still considered a rumor -- keep that in mind. Blizzard has not made any official announcements concerning a a game announcement at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals.
This is what appears at the XFire website:
Thanks, IG_The Blizzard Worldwide Invitational, to be held in Paris on June 28th & 29th is sold out! If you can't attend, Xfire will be on the showfloor, bringing the event straight to your computer!

Didnt see the other thread someone mentioned it first.
G4 is more about console games..
... I remember them saying that a long time ago
When there was supposed to be a big announcment they ended up not anouncing anything.
the transition is complete, blizzard has it now
Yeah i just ran a whois, its totally blizzard
I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl =)
What do you mean, does it redirect you to Blizzard? 'Cause it still redirects me to diablofans.com.
When is the next countdown?
It doesnt redirect me at all, just gives me a page not found which is fine imo cuz I just ran the whois and blizz has it. You should be getting the same error within 12 hours I'd assume
yep me 2...
2007- Starcraft 2
2006- World of Warcraft Burning Crusade
They both show 'server not found' from 2 servers I tried in Macedonia. I think it's safe to assume that they have stopped redirecting to this site. YAAAY.
BTW, what's up with the emoticons in the reply menu? (there should be an emoticon here:____:confused:__.:confused:
See?
