Let the rumors begin. =)

There are always many supporting factors in any theory as these are typically necessary to create an argument in favour of said theory. I agree with pretty much every other point supporting WWI as a confirmation by Blizzard of D3, however, what I was referring to is the idea Paris was chosen as the venue due to the fan base there. I feel having the GDC in Paris may in fact be the defining factor for it being chosen as the venue.
I dont know where you got Blizzcon from
Yeah, the Paris thing is basically notwithstanding anymore. Goodguy basically dispelled it all as rumor.
Mind if I help you?
This confuses me? You don't want to have to be in here? Who says you have to? I think people can have their theories and speculation as long as it's something they believe; even if they're wrong who cares? Just feels to me like you're being a killjoy. I think anyone has the possability to be right or wrong. Maybe we are all wrong? Last time I checked no one on here works for blizzard. It's fun to speculate because it brings hope; you can look all over the net the people here aren't the only ones who share in some of these theories.
Especially since they are already keeping in touch with the community regarding SC2's development with their weekly Q&A's.
And they have just released an bunch of new WotLK info such as the flying mount combat, and info about obtaining a Death Knight and how his rune system works.
I think they have something else to show us, something major. I can only hope that it is indeed D3 and not a new IP. I would like to see what else they can pull out of their hat, but not at the cost of D3.
That's a mature sentiment. [/sarcasm]
Actually, work on D3 started not too long after D2:LOD was released. However, it was brought back to the drawing board around the time that Blizzard North fell apart.
It's my opinion that just because they haven't said anything substantial about it in a long while, that doesn't mean they haven't been working on it in some capacity in the years since then.
I agree 100%...and how does creating WoW make blizz stupid? and how are the people taht play WoW stupid?....just curious..
I can't ethically allow stupidity to flourish.
Not really.
Highly probable.
So you think.
Just because a large amount of people think something that's stupid isn't, doesn't mean its not stupid.
A wise man (me, of course) once said, if you prepare for the worst, and hope for nothing, you can never be disappointed.

It's easy for me, yes.
Here are the basic rules to shooting down a stupid rumor you and everyone else must follow to be a member of the team:
1. Be witty.
2. Be insulting.
3. Care about nothing, including peoples feelings.
4. Be right.
5. If you must be wrong, be wrong ambiguously.
If you can handle that, welcome to the team.
LMAO THSI IS GREAT
Yes two events is promising for a new release...but like AcidReign explained...Diablo franchise has been neglected. To the point were a ladder reset was too much work for Blizzard.
" A wise man (me, of course) once said, if you prepare for the worst, and hope for nothing, you can never be disappointed."
Well i really wonder how you lead your life living with such Paranoia, always thinking of the worst before you even do something. Poor "wise" man you are..
are you kidding us, kid? you only have 5 posts and you joined like in may last year, most have been following this stuff like almost 4 years now. And goodguy is absolutly right.
I cannot stress this enough. Agreeing with me will make enemies for you. A lot of people can't handle my awesome "in your face" attitude and my epicly blunt honesty.
Where were you guys last year?
So far I'd say you and I share alot in common. Alliance?
And is anyone else going to Blizzcon?
Sure. Works for me.
Cool. You going to Blizzcon?
