I realize that this has gotten completely off topic but, so here I go trying to keep it on track...
I've been looking over the Blizzard job postings and wondering... What is a 'next-generation mmo' anyways? Is it for the next-gen consoles? (really doubt it). Or will it simply have better graphics? Will Guild Wars 2 be considered a 'next-generation mmo'?
I figured this was the best place to put this, but if there's a better one let me know.

Yes, that was quite a mouthful. I guess you're used to that kind of thing.... :rolleyes:
Don't judge ;). Sounds to me like you're jealous.
Surprisingly, most of what I said makes sense (to me). Only because I was tired, and I was just about to rip my hair trying to remember the syntax string to make my C# button print me out a triangle...

Also, I just saw a picture of Dungion Siege on some Asian site that someone was trying to pass off as Diablo 3. It was from 2003 but it made me laugh. Good game though.
urgh I don't why blizzard would keep a game a sercet just because it suppose to be a dark secretive.
Not because it's so dark and secretive, but because Blizzard wants to keep a good name when it comes to completing games they've announced.
Do you remember the reaction people had when Blizzard cancelled WarCraft: Adventures? People went into commas, I swear. It's probably why BLizzard won't publically denounce StarCraft: Ghost. 'Cus if they did, even if they eventually came back to it, people would start saying things like, "Blizzard is such a flake, I wonder what game they're going to not come out with next."
So by keeping it under wraps they don't have to make those kinds of retractrations or be in the awkward situation they are in with StarCraft: Ghost.
After I saw all the games Blizzard had officially cancelled I was glad they didn't announce all of them. I probably wouldn't be waiting/drooling over news about another Diablo game, just because I couldn't be sure whether or not it was actually going to make it into production. But now, if they do announce D3, I can be anxiously awaiting it's release without too big a fear of cancelling.
...Wow, that was a mouthfull... I'm off to bed.

Hi, Im new here, and I hope you guys are right. I'm so sick of waiting. I must have repurchased Diablo 2 LoD at least 4-5 times by now..
Haha. I too have about 5 copies of the game lying about. I even have the Diablo I expansion, Hellfire, sitting up on my shelf (though I've only played it once).
Even more jobs posted by Blizzard. One is for the StarCraft II team and the other two seem to be just general job openings.

I have yet to see anything for the next gen MMO that says its from the diablo team - all the ones I see from the diablo team are non-mmo (looks like diablo 3 is going to be a sequal to d2!)
I think that all the 'Top Secret' job openings are for the same game/project. Hopefully Diablo 3, but I don't trully know. I do believe that they are trying to fill in and add more people to the 'team behind Diablo I & II.' Too many people have gone on-and-on about there not being a Diablo 3 because most of them left to do either Guild Wars or Hellgate: London. Well, all these job openings are Blizzard rebuilding that team (in some cases, I'm sure, from the ground up). So , hopefully, We hear news about another Diablo game/expac/patch/anything-at-all soon... Say, in 83 days
I really don't care if it's hack-and-slash or mmo. As long as it's Diablo related and not pay-to-play, I'm down.
Edit: Hey, anyone looking out for job openings that have been taken down?? Not that would it tell us anything... I was just curious.

I meant the two ads beneath the news on the front page (I just noticed them, I don't truly know how long they've been there) look very similar, and are in a similar place, to BlizzPlanet's ads... Not that it's bad... It does support my whole d3.com is going over to BlizzPlanets domain though.

I watched (and liked) Mr. Rogers too but... That was pretty boring. His slow speech is great for little kids, however; I bet they passed it just so he would stop talking.
BTW use that same trick (slow talking) on annoying people (policemen, reporters, annoying customers) and it'll be the sweetest revenge ever!
I don't know how much I like the pay for special features option... I have never subscribed to play Hellgate: London and haven't felt that the extra features are worth it. I think the only feature I'd like is being able to create a guild...
On another matter, I find strange how there is 3D interface in single player where you can see Raynor's full body interacting with the computers inside the Battlecruiser's bridge and engineering room. Makes you wonder if Starcraft 2 is a RTS/MMO hybrid.
Ooo... A RTS/FPS would be awesome! Being to play the individual character to, say, level them up. Even in the middle of a battle , to be able to zoom in and take direct control over a unit. Alot of different ways you could go with this...
This makes me wonder at what all could be done with the next Diablo...:confused:

Yes. BlizzPlanet is already hosting them. (I forget where, but I do believe MD mentioned it somewhere) All you'd have to do is redirect urls and links (if it's set up right). We'll prolly see a redirect from this site before everything gets set in place over at BlizzPlanet.
This is, of course, an big IF.
Edit:

It's the other way around. Blizzplanet is hosted directly or indirectly by Diablo3.com Servers the past two years.

Am I a nerd or does this excite anyone else?
Edit: Wait... April fools? Damn.
Edit 2: There are a lot of April fools jokes from Blizzard this year... Anyone know what they did last year? Just curious.
Edit 3: If there where a bard in WoW (especially a double-guitar wielding Jimmy Page-like bard) I would buy and subscribe- Just for it.
