I can't wait for everyone that believes Diablo is dead, just because of Blizzard North fizzled out, are proven wrong.
IMO - disbanding Blizzard North and moving that team to the Blizzard main base was the best move they made - you will see that Diablo III will be LEAPS and BOUNDS past Diablo 1 and 2. Nowadays, Blizzard probably doesn't want just a better Diablo game than the last from Blizzard North, they want something EPIC.
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.
Blizzard said they have no plans to go to the console, and they mean it from what happened to Starcraft: Ghost - The Next Gen MMO is most likely for the PC.
We should make a site called NotDiablo3.com and talk there lol
Yeah, that would be cool lol - It would really suck if this site was taken and we all disappeared, but I'm sure Umaro is doing something awesome for us all
Hm...So, when Diablo 3 gets released, and after a few years the wait for the next installment starts, will this still be Diablo3.com?
No - This site will most likely be given over to Blizzard much before the announcement of Diablo III - Hope fully we can move somewhere to talk still :cool:
and why the hell would an ex-Blizzard North employee make a speech? they freaking quit because they were being treated badly! they aren't on friendly speech-making terms with Blizzard lol. and they have no reason to make a speech anyway. what would he say? "I'm proud of what the new team has done, I wish I hadn't have quit" ?? wtf lol.
everything about that post is wrong (except the important blizzard guy part)
its also wrong that he seemed to be talking friendly at the end, as if he knows us, but he doesn't know us at all. its his first freaking post.
I'll get the tar, you get the feathers. and someone else get a freaking guillotine.
Blizzard North was on bad terms with Vivendi for ignoring them when they asked to speak about their future, because Vivendi had many rumours around about being sold.
Yeah, you really don't need any other proof that Diablo III is coming - Look at his face!, it makes me smile every time. I agree, Mike Morhaime has a crappy pokerface lol
Yeah, from the job apps we come to the conclusion:
Diablo III absolutely
MMO is either Diablo MMO or SC MMO - can go either way since they did WC3 then WoW... imo I think its going to be a Diablo MMO, it has more potential I would think. But, a SC MMO would be awesome as well.
dude i really like how when u click on all theh "top secret" links all start out "from the team that brought you diablo 1 and diablo 2" :D:D:D and its for "next gen mmo" ZOMG I JUST LOADED MY PANTZORZ
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've been browseing Blizzard Entertainment's wares ever since it was founded by Michael Morhaime, Allen Adham, and Frank Pearce [then Silicon & Synapse], back in 1991.
If what my current aformentioned knowledges are lead to be believed, "that" which is coming out of the very closed doors of Irvine, California, will completely, and totally redefine the genre: badass.
When I was much younger, I'd connect to Blizzard Entertainment's website, and see a new annoucement, after new annoucement, after another....symbolism, plethora of historical references, and then I thought: "hey, wait a second, who are these guys? They aren't like any other videogame developer. I'm in love!"
As each new clue and an arcane explosion of riddles were released, every new title became a game to me; "what could it be?" Early on, I thought I was nuts. I had made "certain" connections, but then thought: "no, no, no way, that's impossible!". Which in turn developed into: "ok, that's it, that just defines coincidence to a tee!".
And yet, here I am before you today, with the very same facial expression, of which Keanu Reeves displayed, when he had learned of the matrix: "Whoa!". As Blizzard's current project[s?] are indeed that which can be defined by a single alkaline battery.
If you ponder as to why I torture and tease, WWI 2008 isn't "very" far off........
/diabolical laugh
Very cool post - I agree, Blizzard is a very unique company, and they roxor our boxorz.
So, my conclusion is this site has been bought or turned over to a higher power. Perhaps, maybe even... Blizzard.
There are Alot of people that come here - I'm sure Blizzard is waiting until they have Their website set up so all the people that type diablo3.com go there and dun dun dun.. everyone will be like... OMG!
Edit: Sorry for posting twice in a row, forgot I replyed to this thread lol
Just thought I point out that not only is June 29th the anniversary of Diablo 2. It is also the anniversary for Diablo 2: LOD. Diablo 2 came out june 29th, 2000. Diablo 2: LOD came out June 29th, 2001.
Took me a hot minute to really think about it, but Blizzard picked!!! this date, so something is up lol

I agree, and everyone I talked to that also knew about Diablo thought it was him.
