Well MD actually said it was done only to entertain the fans, so it's of no relevance to what will be revealed on May 1st. But at least is a nice game to play meanwhile...
I can't find the exact patern but it is actually beginning from the south and going north... so I'd guess it will end at the Arreat Mountain?
Btw, if people don't feel confortable with my way of writing, please do not hesitate in PM me about it, I've been part of other communities before and I know how annoying it gets after a while...
lol now the argument is no longer on may 1st jetrall and timberlake... we are just getting the whole Diablo-releated rumours and stuff to guess what's going to happen... at the WWI...
I'm sayin it's just too suggestive to put a link to a game whose series haven't been on the spotlight for a while on an upcoming public event website. A public event very similar to the one they announced a new game previously.
You can check every event blizzard has done in the past few years and find nothing of Diablo besides artwork... so we wonder the reasons for putting on a link to the game, when we know there aren't contests on these events.
Just for quoting the website (event info):
"The 2008 Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational will feature exciting eSport invitational tournaments, drawing top Warcraft III, StarCraft and World of Warcraft Arena players from around the world to play for over $100,000 in prizes! In addition to these professional gaming matches, community player tournaments will allow you show your skills for fun and glory – and some exclusive tournament prizes."
If there is no Diablo there, why the hell put that link on the main page?
maybe it's about to change
And btw, there was some info on Diablo in one of the Blizzcast episodes. There are plans for a more Diablo-related episode (would be the 3rd, but has been postponed), and there are all those connections to diablo lately both on the WWI site and around the net (ie. here) so I can't help thinking that something's happening.
yeah, I must admit everything i'd like to see is that: a reassurance that Blizzard is finally announcing Diablo 3... although I read on another thread that MD and Umaro's reactions were on the lines of WTF and ZOMG... so I really hope it's an artwork to be shown on WWI with the logo, or at least a surprising (but good) alteration to the game... for example, prequel, sequel stuff...
lots of things come in my mind... mmo (nooooo), rts (argh), playing as a demon or angel (interesting)
Oh yeah, I got carried away.. lol and yes, you're right in that... at the last Blizzcon they had no mention of Diablo at all besides for artwork... *chills run through the back on the thought they are mentioning it now..*
