This was found years ago, like, in 2000, or something. I thought I would bring it up again, for memory's sake.
Look at the top of the border in Metzen's artwork. It looks like it says DIABL 3. Its kind of missing an 'O', unless the '3' is meant to be an 'O', but it looks a hell of a lot more like a 3. I'd say it really is meant to be an 'O' though, cause I really can't find an 'O' other than that, unless you count that little circle. Also, why would he write 'Diablo 3'? it doesn't really make much sense. Eh, its still interesting to bring up again. He probably just tried to disguise the 'O' but accidentally made it a '3'. Then again, he didn't disguise the 'B' very well at all.
Its from the DII game manual. Amazing how much more professional it looks in the manual than it does here. Contrast/brightness is the key
On a side note, what is your interpretation of the image?
It seems to be a warrior surrounded by the Dark Wanderer (surrounded by Diablo's silohette), Mephisto and Baal. Mephisto looks kind of strange, but its presumably him, cause the other guy certainly looks like Baal/Tal Rasha.
Copy the link in your browser, add a space behind it and hit enter. Should do the trick.
It's a nice drawing, but I really think the presumed 3 is just some rune Metzen decided to draw there, really. Can't really understand why he'd put 'Diablo 3' above a picture which was made even before the expansion to Diablo 2 came out.

Though, I do have a habit of seeing things that others can't around here. I could see the sadface smiley for a while when noone else could. But he's gone for me now too : (

That image is from the Diablo I manual - why would they put a message like that in a game that didn't even have a sequel yet? It's not Diablo III.
I agree. I see Diablo and in the corner a few squiqqly characters afetrwards is a squiggle that looks like a 3. But it isn't it, or are we all forgetting that Diablo games use roman numerals and not numbers?
Plus, Diablo is there... I think the suiggle line that looks like a 3 is just a coincidence.

Here's mine:
This is way too much speculation. Guys, just be patient. Find something to do, and you can blow up about it the day before if you want. But this will only hurt you more if it doesn't come out.
O.o Wasn't speculation to me, seemed very clear at the moment I was viewing it. It's like those pictures where one person can see a butterfly and another a cat... What are those called?
nice find. but i think it was a joke. because how long ago was that manual published. so long ago that they couldnt have thought about making diablo 3. and wasnt there suppose to be an expansion like diablo salvation or something. idk. good eye though. lol
and who is the wizard guy? i am thinking the sorceror but i still cant figure it out its not mephisto is it?
sorry for the last off subject part.

There is an "o" between b and l and then, there is a "3".
