As I recall, the soulstone is dark redish/orangeish. not a shade of yellow, And even if the hand was open and It looked exactly like the soul stone. I would still think its WOW related.
Yeah I thought about that. In threory D3 it will be, well see how far the rumors go though. At this rate... it's very promising.
Well, out of all the people ive seen around this forum, now I know of the few True Diablo fans....
I remember seeing the Diablo I engine (prototype version of the game) on a Video game tv show about a year before it was released, I was hooked, Got the game first day it was for sale, and beat it in a matter of hours of non-stop play. =)

Beat that. Ha
I spent two weeks savouring my first playing experience of Diablo which means I got more fun out of it.
each soulstone had a different color. Diablos was red. Mephistos more like yellow/golden. Baals was green/yellow sort of combination. Prolly it doesnt have to do with Diablo, but it was a nice thought anyway. We all know Blizzard doesnt give pointers that early. The most encouraging thing is that we havent heared of anythign else they might be preparing (except for the WoW expansion thats bit too early to have a beta).
Aint gonna happen, look at WoW, it began as Warcraft 3 with lots of rpg and it ended up with 2 games, Warcraft 3 (with much less rpg then planned in the beginning) and WoW (with lots more rpg and mmo then planned in beginning)
dont infect another thread with that crap, there's the other one still not finished.

They did that (combo) cause they thought Warcraft fans wouldnt be happy with the direction of Warcraft 3 (with lots of rpg) but they still had ambition working further at there rpg Warcraft. (with ofcourse the enormous succes of both different games)
I'm almost certain that they wouldnt announce a MMO based on Diablo universe before announcing the actual succesor to Diablo 2, not a spinoff kinda game (wich WoW kinda is to Warcraft)
(and thats not even saying Blizz needs to keep hold of paying WoW accounts wich wouldnt be jeopardized by a normal Diablo game so Diablo mmo would draw to much costumers away from WoW)
I agree with your point, turning Diablo into a MMO would draw a lot of custormers away from WoW ( Since i'm sure mostly were & are Diablo fans ).
But that being said, i'm sure sooner or later a new Game will problaly draw the WoW players away, even with a new Expansion..

WoW lost and looses people to Lord of the Rings Online, EverQuest 2 (and to come, Age of Conan and Warhammer Online). Another MMO would just get them back, or keep them in the company, which isnt that bad for Blizzard since people that pay monthly stay to them, no matter for which game they stay. WoW is a social phenomenon now. Its not about Diablo players that got bored over the years, or Warcraft fans. Everyone knows WoW and most have tried it at least once too.

for some people it just lost interest. I know quite a few people myself. A new game (especially a darker one) might bring people back to Blizzard or "steal" people from other games. However i dont believe they'll make such a move just yet. Diablo has a very good setting for a pvp oriented mmorpg, but i dont think its time for it. They might have it in the back of their heads, or even in development, but i do expect a Diablo III before that. (I however have nothing to support my theory as i'm not in Blizzard - its just what i think of it).
Anybody get the Blizzard Newsletter, It seems like they actually make an effort to avoid even mentioning Diablo in any way.
Wow Reminded me of playing house in preschool. Sorry I just couldn't play a game like that. I think their target audience was for teenage girls with that one (I always felt that way about it). Just how i see it nothing againt all you 7 million players..
So I bought Resistance =)
Even if Blizzard lost half of their total players in WOW they would still be past their projected player meximum before the game was released which logically would have been 2-3.5 million players Max. Im doubt that is a major consern.
D3 is going to make so much money it's insane, I hope that blizzard does not make to many changes from d2. D2 oldschool online PvP and questing was the ultimate gameing pleasure. Better graphics, new weapons/spells and characters/levels are a must but I hope that they dont focus totaly on graphics and stuff like oblivion and other games. We want an advanced weapon system that enables you to find a HUGE variety of weapons/items. Also I hope they make it all just fit together like oldschool D2 online play were you can hostile ppl, pvp, quest all at the same time. Please dont make these lame PVP only realms and areanas! We want it all to be together as one online play.
blizzard already made a revolutionary way of getting weapons/items; with the socket number, rares, uniques, crafted, and random prefixes and suffixes, it IS a HUGE variety.
We want it all . . . .
not all. say YOU want it all to be liek that. it's your opinion and dont speak for millions of other people
I'm sure blizzard will make a fantastic game; albeit diablo3, world of diablo, or a brand new game.

I hear ya..
They should do what they did with the Starcraft Series... Keep the same engine theoretically and gameplay. Add a few new things, items, abilities, maybee a new race or 2. should increase top max level,make the game twice as deep as D2 if possible.
I wouldnt touch the graphics.. New graphics are very vibrant, and attractive. Older graphics, were more realistic and Dark. I mean if you can make it work than by all means, but i have yet to see it for a game as Diablo.

not exactly true. older graphics weren't necessarily realistic... at all. 2d isn't the best way of handling realistic stuff. 3D is more realisitc perspective-wise and looks wise. Older graphics are simple and fun. 3D consumes you into the game; It doesn't feel like a game, but like your actually doing the thing in real life. Or rather it is meant to be like that.
Yeah, I like the new graphics, the latest and greatest thing they have right now, But I dont see myself getting that vibe from graphics like that, but I hope they find a way, because they aren't going to use the old.
As far as realism, The new Graphics may look better, but they are in no way more realistic. Its very easy to be fooled by the atractiveness of it.
Flagship Studios (Diablo Team) created thier MMO, a WOW type game, Rated E or T i think. It has a little Darker feel than WOW if you ask me, with "new" graphics, but I still dont really like it. Im going to try it again though in the upcoming closed alpha stage.
I guess my pont is that if they used old graphics not only would i not be dissapointed, I would be relieved, unlike most. But theres no way that is going to happen.
I always remember Diablo having the superior graphics over all other Blizzard games at whatever time it was released. So hopefully this time it will be better than WoW and SC2

theres a consequence for too many hell players / heaven players. it would balance it self out, as he said.
but seriously, post something about the topic not about you being new. thats for the introductory threads.
