So today i whent to EB Games and i pre ordered a copy of Hell Gate London. While doing this i was chatting along with the owner of that particular branch and we were talking about how its made by the same people as blizzard north yadi yadi yadda. So then i happen to say, "we just need a diablo III" and he looks at me with a big grin and says "well you might get your wish soon" so he informs me from what he knows that we can expect a release sometime in october of 08. And the story will be more of a continuance of Diablo I as well as Diablo II and Hephasto the armorer has some kind of role.
I have no proof or anything i just wanted to shed some light on what i heard.
Right. And this random EB guy just HAPPENS to know the plot over a year ahead of it's release. He'd likely not even know it existed, let alone what it entailed as far as plot or content, unless Blizzard is deliberately planting rumours through EB employees. Which is just ridiculous.
I hate video game store clerks anyway. They're always so dickish and condescending. They're almost like comic book store workers but they are younger and they use more product in their hair. In my experiences anyway.

One post made by the OP. Nuff' said.
Second, EBGames and any game store have no clue of game storyline before it is even announced or acknoledged to be in development. Heck, I doubt they even know the plot before they get the game delivered at their store.
Geez, how the fuck am i a troll. All i did was make a post on something i heard that i had not already heard before from all of the rumor sites. And so far i have like 10 people flaming me for no fucking reason at all. I explicitly said i have no proof i just wanted to offer what i heard for your speculation. What have i done to have all you bitching at me. I've used this site to read alot but i never had anything to contribute which is why i never registered or posted. That is why i have 1 post, besides its ridiculous to think that i made this post to "troll" Do you know what a troll is? I have not sparked anything controversial, besides the fact that i made the thread.
I guess we will just wait and see what happens wont we.

Bit jumpy ain't we. The mass-reaction comes, as you know, with NicoV and other individuals that come up with odd stories such as a brother of an uncle of my best friend, who is a Blizzard employee, said this and that about a game they are making.
We are all jumpy after a few fiascos. Your story doesn't sound so convincing because this "EBGames employee" told you a bit of the plot mentioning a character. Mind you, most of the forum members are adults. I don't buy it if it sounds fishy.
If you had posted this info without adding the Hephasto the armorer part into the mix, you wouldn't have gotten this reaction. Some would argue and debate as you wished. Dates given by EBGames, Gamestop or other gaming stores aren't usually very convincing since they make up the release dates. It would have been something to discuss among the community. But it is very hard to believe that a EBGames Employee could know that Hephasto the armorer will be a character in the next Diablo game ... that's suspicious.
character. Mind you, most of the forum members are adults.
Would have hoped for more adult responses

I was not trying to prove or to suggest i had any special information, i myself doubt that he knows anything but i figured to post it to raise some imaginative speculation. It would be unlikely to see Hephasto in the new game since of his little role in Diablo II but then again there might be more that we dont know. Which is why i included it in my post.
Yes i agree with the unlikelyness of this but since it is around the time of after blizzcon it might be possible. Besides he said to expect a leak sometime on the internet soon. So we just need to wait.
lol maybe u were intended to be that leak hence why he told u
Heh maybe.

Wow you are posting some lame made up story and now you're going mad at the people who critise it?
1. I didnt make it up, i have no need to besides i would at least make it look credible if i had made it up.
2. Not mad that they criticize the idea, i was just a vessel in which the idea was transfered there is no need to be a douchebag to me.
Well at least he's not saying he's a blizzard employee.
I was pointing out your story actually has potential to be true. But I'm pretty sure someone along the line of the "D3 will come out in Oct 08" story was either lying or got their information mixed up.
Oh no i was exagerating when i said that everybody was flaming me but those who shot down at me immediately were who i was reffering to. And the one who called me a troll (which was completely ludicrous) because i had 1 post was what set me off.
I have no proof or anything i just wanted to shed some light on what i heard.

its not supposed to be a nice game
autostats are rediclous
lack of pots is not welcome
if it aint broke dont fix it! (diablo2)
NicoV got it from Blizzplanet before it was censored.
It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
