"IRVINE, Calif. – May 12, 2008 – – Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced plans for its third BlizzCon™ gaming convention, to be held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California on October 10 and 11. BlizzCon is a celebration of the global player communities surrounding Blizzard Entertainment®'s Warcraft®, StarCraft®, and Diablo® franchises. In response to the demand to accommodate more attendees, this year's event has expanded from two convention halls to three."
Yea because before the two halls were for Warcraft and Starcraft....now they opened up another. LOL it would suck if it was for a completely new game hehehe

Those before me shall quiver in my wake as I unleash the fury within!
So now we've got rumors started for two major events in the same year. Wonder which one will actually announce what we want announced. Maybe they'll announce it at the WWI and then have displays and such at Blizzcon '08?

Thats whats going to happen. Announcement at WWI, then hands on stuff at blizzcon. Perfect.

Ah I hope it's actual hands on stuff. I won't be able to go either way, but I think it would really suck if they announced it at WWI then just had videos and trailers at Blizzcon. That'd be a sure sign that D3 is still several years away
This one was enough to bring me out of squatting and actually in to the conversation. I've been playing D2 in spurts since release and am super happy to have found a community that is still active and devoted to the game. I'm just as excited/hopeful for a D3 announcement as everyone else, but to protect my hopes and dreams I remain a skeptic on this one.
Can anyone confirm (by way of actually having been there) that last year Blizzcon devoted one hall to WoW and one to SC2? Until I know for certain that that was the case I'm still chalking the extra hall up to WoW's mad popularity.
From two convention halls to Three? Can this end all rumors now lol.

One convention hall per major franchise? Hmmm....
End all rumors? No way, but it does lend supporting evidence to the pot.

The announcement would have to take place at the WWI. So far, Blizzcon has not been used to announce anything, only to display what is already announced, while the Invitationals ahve been used to announce games, like recent Starcraft 2.
June is still the main bugger
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.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
Ok so all those guys that left after the last announcement are about to return..... especially in our mIRC channel 300 down to constant 30 :\ lame... Oh ya, this news is huge. I cannot wait for some d3 info
Oh ya two more things. We need people to go to this event to find away to stream live video if they can do it. Also we need a count down for it so I know exactly how long untill

I agree, this it is a very good sign (cue giddy laughter).
However, I hope this doesn't mean there won't be a DIII announcement in June. I don't want yet another wait before we get our lovin'.
Lol anyway, 3 convention halls must mean Lost Vikings is back!
BLIZZ U crafty mutherfuckkerz!
It feels good after all theas years to finally have proof that Diablo 3 will be announced
I could be wrong here but were the Blizzcons used to just present what they have worked on to the public, after they had the WWI?
Blizzcon 1 about WoW 1?
Blizzcon 2 about Starcraft 2?
Blizzcon 3 about Diablo 3?
Note* I could be totally wrong.
