They did it so we would stop asking. At the time of D2, there was no need to so there there really isn't anything out there, as the story of D2 was no where near that area.
D3 seems to have a much more expansive story, and you might go there now in d3, thus the area is needed.
It is similar to the ever expanding in size warcraft map. wc1 has a really tiny map, WCII has a much bigger map, WCIII and even bigger one. I won't go into WOW as it alters a lot of the WCIII map, which didn't really change too much, if anything of the previous map/s.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.

Does that suggest that they might introduce another continent later on? Or are you just saying that they're trying to more define the area to the best they can?

They very possibly could, or at least a large island.
Not really sure, it definitely seems like they made it so that there is only this land mass. But prehaps we might see other continents in future. Prehaps this is only the initial map. Meshif is a seaman for crying out loud, if there is other land masses out there he will know.
SO far there is no mention of them, at least not that I can remember.

Yeah but I don't think the world is a world like we know it, that could be the only land mass in the game, its not like we couldn't go to other types of realms like heaven or hell.
Its entirely possible your right, blizzard are always expanding the different universes they use (SC, WC, Diablo) and changing it, its something you got to enjoy about there story telling sometimes is that they aren't afraid to expand at the risk of destroying there different universes.

I don't even remember if they said that Sanctuary was a solid planet. So I suppose anything is possible.
I've always wondered if Sanctuary was flat or if it was a planet. Since only Sanctuary, Heaven and Hell exists in the Diablo universe, there's no reason for it not to be flat. It also seems to small to be spherical. But it would be strange to fall off the world if you hit the edge of the map. Is there anything in the lore to suggest if Sanctuary is a planet, or just a flat peice of land?

Sanctuary is literally between heaven and hell.
I imagine it would be flat, to fit in with that dark age view.
Umm there is still Sargearas and the whole burning legion to combat, and the maelstrom, many places to go...
I should have clarified, it's the beginning of the end. Each level cap increase drives away new players, and once they've killed every majour character, where does the Warcraft series go? Down the toilet.

Down the RTS alley again, with the Draenei and their starships, the world could practically band together and go Warhammer 40k the universe up.
To be honest the designers have been dancing around the idea of Orcs in space, it lead to Starcraft, but they diverted away. The notion resurfaced in WC3 with the Flamethrower Orc.
They have portal technology aswell, I mean their struggle is a universal one now since the Burning Crusade, the third game would HAVE to be a federation of horde and alliance versus the crusade, WC3 and WoW built up to that.

Because stealing even more from the Warhammer franchise is pure genius.
Dawn of War would basically put a Warcraft in space into a corner and rape it in the name of Slaanesh.
The only option they have, if they even keep Warcraft going, is to somehow retcon all of WoW, restart the war and game on.

Yeah it's still some time until then, but that's how much MMO's go, they run out of content.
Another notable change: Scosglen looks very desert-like in the Diablo III map. In the Vizjeri's account of the hunting and trapping of Baal in the Diablo II manual, he says the mages hunting Baal assumed the Lord of Destruction was continue north past Lut Gholein and head for "snowy" Scosglen.
Once WoW players kill Arthas, that entire series is dead.
They've been screwing it up for four years.
Well there is still emerald dream and maelstorm.. But yeah feels like the game is dying altho arena stuff and tournament things might continue to grow.

I'm not sure that's a good thing.

When its done correctly then it works very well, unfortunately its more then often done wrong an destroys the universe.
I've yet to see blizzard screw it up, it'll be quite a day when they finally do.

Not true, most MMOs have the freedom of creating content on the fly. Hell, EQ is still going.
