No unfortunately. No money.
well if thats the truth no1 can really b pissed because thats what blizz said ne way...
And now you can leave. Thank you.
Blizzard said it was for more people, but it doesn't mean thats all its for. Before they had 2 halls for 2 franchises. This year they are expanding to 3. There is a third franchise. There has been a TON of activity regarding Diablo, most notably the takeover of Diablo3.com.
ur making me get super hyped and if ur wrong iam going 2 kill you.....with a trident......
There has always been a ton of random activity. It's called consumer expectations. But expectations don't mean something is being developed. I saw it happen - people wanted something, it never came. Happened numerous times.
I'm not making you do anything. I am merely providing a balance to the comment she said. I've already said there is a chance Diablo won't be announced. A very strong chance. However the chance of there being an announcement is also strong, so at this point we can only wait for time to tell.
regardless, there may be a trident in ur future
Equinox said the third hall is for more people. True. But why?
The reasoning:
Well, StarCraft II and WoW:WotLK isn't going to be released until after BlizzCon 2008 most likely, so why hold a convention for the exact same two games as they displayed last year, and then on top of that, open the hall for more people? It doesn't add up. They will be showing something new. It's the only reason.
Blizzard keeps leading me to believe that whatever is going to be announced, is going to be huge.
They say "Team 3 is working on something totally awesome"
Karune said 2008 will hold larger announcements than 2007
It's been forever since a new Diablo game, so it must be pretty damn complex
There were plenty of times when halls were opened for just that reason - more people. Maybe it's not true this time, maybe it is. Why more people are coming? Maybe because more heard of it? More have the money? More consumers, that's all...
I get the same feeling. But I don't necessarily disregard it as being Diablo. But it is hard to think that Diablo would go from Diablo II: LoD straight into an MMO about 7 years later. At least Warcraft III and WoW were somewhat close.
why is that hard 2 believe?
Because some of the old players that left Diablo II are going to forget some things when they transition to a Diablo MMO, and it's going to be too much information to handle. They need to have a game in the middle that refreshes everyone's "Diablo Minds".
Best.off-topic.comment.ever.EVER.
ROFLMAO
Somehow you remind me of this cousin I have, anyway, I agree with your position, but I can't let all my hope die, so I keep a tiny drop of it just in case, because then I won't get too dissapointed and in case it becomes real, its another reason to get even more content about it.
Um... There was a ladder reset in June.
