I posted the whois info for the domain diablo3.fr but it was quickly deleted. not sure why as its PUBLIC info. if you look it up the admin contact is a @blizzard.com address so it seems to be owned and directed by blizzard. checked incase someone else owned it. checked the ip address and its also owned by blizzard.

I noted in the main chat thread that someone said Diablo3.fr was redirecting to the splash page. So I did a whois look up and guess who owns that domain? http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=diablo3&tld=fr
