IGN has posted an articled titled "IGN's predictions: 2007 edition" and one of those predictions include "Blizzard Announces New Title in Existing Franchise".
"Both Charles and Steve believe that it's probably going to be Diablo III announced this year. There's some speculation that Blizzard wants to keep Diablo hot and StarCraft seems to be a bit more like the everlasting gobstopper of the bunch. On top of that, the ill-fated StarCraft: Ghost might have been their StarCraft in production while the next Diablo game began development in earnest. It comes down to more of a gut feeling for this pick along with the heavier number of rumors circulating around the Diablo franchise in the past few years."

I think that this link tells me, (even if it dosent say it directly) that Blizzard is working on finding the perfect release date.
the prefect release date would have been 6/6/06.
but im gonna guess and say the projected release date is 31/12/07. then depending on hype, fixing bugs and other issues it will get moved forward or backwards.

PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

thats a great find, especially from a source called ign... they are one of the best sources besides blizzard themselves that we could get info like this from
finnally something from blizzard saying something about a new game to an existing franchise this is very good news, ill be happy with either game but d3 would make me a bit more happy

If you ever meet a hafling and a hungry dragon you dont have to outrun the dragon, you only have to outrun the hafling.
but im gonna guess and say the projected release date is 31/12/07.
this would go pretty close to the next WoW expansion (they said they're going to release one/year and at about the same time, so...), and i dont think Blizzard would do that. Would be more possible to see it around June/July 2008. What i'm really looking forward to is the announcement tho. If its official it wont be too long till we get it.
ehh, im staying up all night and im going to make sure i find any diablo 3 information that has been posted a month from now. any new information i wil post here or on another thread. if indeed the blizzard high-ups had a meeting and it took place today, it is probably online if its big, and ill find it. if not today, in a day or two it would be all over the internet.

Its going to be diablo 3!! or they would have reset ladder for d2 and they don't have much competition on RTS right now cuz SC and Warcraft are both still on top. Theres going to be alot of competition in 07 with hellgate coming out so I know its going to be d3..
If we were to have a Blizzcon 2007, they would definately include information about Diablo 3. I am 99% sure. They couldn't have a convention that had only WoW booths.
