Gamespot cornered Executive Vice President of Blizzard Entertainment and Executive Producer of Diablo III ... Rob Pardo to talk about the art direction of Diablo III and he explains the early stages of its development at Blizzard North.
blizzard doesn't own this domain... and this interview takes place before the petition ever started. QTF you have no idea what you're saying.
im pretty sure blizzard took this domain before the unveiling of diablo 3. or "aquired" it as it was so put. Adn all i said was this should be in the news to show poeple who are bitching about giant sholder pads that blizzard is taking care of our needs and the game will come out on top no matter what. i wasnt saying that blizzard directly put this here for us to read. an admin or mod did and it doesnt matter who put it here it should still be news. so once again. shove the petition straight up your ass.

No. They aquired Diablo3.com, the old domain.
We are now diablofans.com.
Sheesh.
PS: I find your sig funny. Petitions are for someone to do somthing, not for someone to stay idle.
On topic: I never saw the video before. Thanks MD for posting it. Good info. Nice to hear that all the classes are finished, and so is Act 1.
1.The five classes HAVE been decided. (Rob: "...they are playable back at the home office")
2.They have made progress on the single player campaign ("Act I is pretty much playable")
3.This version of the game has been in development for 3 years (Blizz is usually on a 4 year dev cycle)
So basically he admitted it just comes down to content. They have to add more levels, skills, items, etc., The core game mechanics and engine and planning is basically done.
It may be 5 days old, but better late than none at all. Would you want the front page to be updated only once or twice a month? I don't think so.
I was all weekend at WWI with a massive toothache/headache, had to spend my internet time wisely, so I didn't visit any other website except diablofans and blizzplanet. I didn't even visit the official diablo 3 site until around tuesday. Most of this time I have been sleeping, recovering from the ordeal. Last two days, thankfully I didnt need pain killers, feel better, but my body has been taking me into nap-mode. 10 hours sleep yesterday + 4 hours nap few hours later.
Before I knew it, it is now Friday. Back to business, I need to start updating the sites whether old or new.

whoops...my bad? who cares, all other points still valid. the petition in my sig to me came across as a joke, just a way to spit in the faces of those who signed the other. like how its a joke that the other petition is in circulation.
The image pretty much shows everything!
You people obviously don't want diablo 3 to be a great dark and gore game, you want it to be actually more like WOW, in the disguise that its vice-versa!
And its not that this succubus is a must, but I want them to feel free to add whatever content they need to the environment for it to look mature enough, so I can treat Diablo seriously.
I am actually not that of a PC game player, the last game I actually played was Doom-3 which I liked only because it was scarry as hell. So, I'm waiting for almost a decade for Diablo-3 and I'll be very disappointed if it won't be rated M (or at least in that direction). That's what actually drove me into the game in the first place - the atmosphere.
(that's one of the reasons why I hated Dungeon Siege..)
in that interview im happy to hear that there won't be mass realms like wow....that was sooo gay, wow sux
sooooooo damn happy they make it more global!!!!!!!!!!!
also the trading stuff, i wanna be able to trade anything i want, no boe or bop (bind on equp or pickup)!!!!!!!

Pardo says: "We want to do the Gothic atmosphere" - this VERY GOOD!

they obviously want it to be playable for children, the last 2 games were rated M.
I am in doubt they will make the next succubus like it should be:

but rather how it is in this art style:
