no official said that. Anyone could post something like that. It was posted on a forum. The one that posted wasnt blizzard official. Can still hope, but unfortunately its not a fact. More like a rumor.
Just sit and wait for an offical statement i guess at this point. Take all rumors with 1 grain of salt.
Brings up a good point, I mean eveybody seen the pictures, It was a large event. Your telling me not one reporter asked any questions about Diablo non the less get any info at all? Lol
its known that Blizzard "leaked" there might be another announcement this year. And that talking to several magazine representatives. But as long as we have nothing official it might just be something to start creating a fuzz for the next announcement. That could be this year, or in the next.
BlizzCon Swag, Beta Key and Murloc Suit! - 6/4/2007
We'll be handing out plenty of Blizzard swag at BlizzCon for attendees to show off to their friends. However, we wanted to give out even more, so we'll also be providing a beta key for an upcoming Blizzard game. If you're not enticed yet, you should definitely check out the in-game murloc suit, an item that can be redeemed and given to your favorite World of Warcraft character. Love or hate the murlocs, you won't want to miss this opportunity to blend in with them!
"Upcoming Game" -Well It probubly wont be WOW or Starcraft, only makes sence.
Beta Key = MMO?
there are betatests for all kind of games, its called so because of the current state of the game development. It usually comes like that:
1. pre-alpha version
2. alpha version
3. beta version
4. gold (aka release) version
weird statement. Wondering why they didnt say "StarCraft 2" beta keys, i'd bet everything thats what they're talking about... still weird.
beta test this year doesnt mean release this year. As Blizzard said "StarCraft II wont be released this year".
but think of it this way:
If the announced game doesnt make it to the beta this year, how many possibilities are there to have a beta for an unannounced one?

With Blizzard, a safe guess would be 4 or 5.. Any other company 0.
=)
my mind says that Blizzard wouldnt announce StarCraft II first, if they werent more progressed in its development. And i sure expect its beta and its release before Diablo III (as much as i hate to do so).
Only time will tell, i guess. We can still hope for news in August.
Remember the interview with Rob Pardo? The StarCraft II team is only about 40 members large - one of their smallest teams. I'm sure their Diablo team is larger than 40, and they have been working on the game (rumored) since about 2002 - a year before StarCraft II began production. So perhaps maybe Blizzard is waiting to put a huge blow on the fanbase with Diablo III and a beta right off the bat.
I mean c'mon. It had it's ten year anniversary this year...
WoW was a ten year tribute to the Warcraft universe...
not sure they think of it this way but with Blizzard you cant ever be sure. If theres gonna be another announcement we'll sure start to see things before BlizzCon.
would make more sense to be SC II beta than anything else. Diablo III isnt even announced (so too early to talk about beta) and its too early for another WoW Expansion too.
I dont know if you guys got that email, but there has been leaks and such about some sort of Diablo info going to be revealed. Just passing along the info. I don't beleive it anymore than you do.
there arent any leaks from Blizzard. Anything that might come out, does only when they intend to and suits their marketing policy more. I really hope for a surprise. Would be awesome to have Diablo III announced together with its beta. Its just not that possible to happen.
"Note I am not revealing anything that hasn't been already said before.
1. Blizzard said a year ago they plan to ship a yearly expansion.
2. There has been job openings specifying "Diablo Team"."
he probably made up the rest. he gave so much credit to himself "should i be that selfish?" etc. trying to make us want him to tell us.
he is just making a guess like all of us are.

Also recent news articles imply Starcraft 2 is long ways away, Def. not this year. But knowing blizzard it could be anything.
