- If you are wondering, I contacted my XFire liaison around noon. No response as of 3pm.
- Also one of my Blizzard liaisons. Blizzard has not made any press releases concerning a Game Announcement.
Original Story
XFire either accidentally posted there would be a Game Announcement based on the rumors sprung from DiabloFans.com and Blizzplanet, or they know something and oops ... slipped it. Did XFire confirm there will be a game announcement?
As usual, I will communicate with my XFire and Blizzard contacts for a comment to clarify this new rumor. Stay tuned for updates.
At this point, this is still considered a rumor -- keep that in mind. Blizzard has not made any official announcements concerning a a game announcement at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals.
This is what appears at the XFire website:

Hope i helped:thumbsup:
Use your head, it's a secret, or at least suppose to be, so DON'T expect they tell you the secret, either way it's true or not.
secondly, http://us.blizzard.com/support/splash.xml?rhtml=y
as you see in the link blizzard has made an upside downpyramid, sc2 to fill in the gap of course, leaving the only space for a game icon to fit, under the 3 blizzard classic games, therefore we are looking in the wrong direction and should be looking at Lost Vikings: Online, Rock n Roll Racing 2, or Blackthorne: The most obscure game ever.
As of today there still no official confirmation that SC2 will be free online, but as for what it means...
also, sc2 is an rts, not an rpg, diablo3 would ruin wow, going from 1 sub game to 0 sub games and 2 free games is stupid, on the other hand a free rts (idk like WC3 LOL OMG IT MAKES SENSE) and a MMO (ZOMG LIKE WOW, ITS LIKE LOGIC OR SOMETHING) is viable
Or maybe all that NEXT GEN MMO hiring posts are for World of Half Life and diablo 3 will also be a battlenet game meaning around 10 million per game (thats 20 million for the 2 retards above Veltras) and 0 million on WoW servers that would be idling in their warehouses...
Oh yea that is much more likely than WoD ...
When Lich expansion comes out, maybe it will go back to 8 Million
When Diablo 3 Comes out it will go down to 0 Players
Sorry to break it to you, Diablo3. Will Kill WoW
And no its not going to be , World of Diablo
That would be so stupid...
Lol its actually funny
About it being free... I dont think it would be free but you never know.
Diablo 3 Better be announced june 28 or else!
Not to be weird but:
WoW has never, ever gone down in subs. They are at about 10.5 million subs and increasing.
Blizzard+Lotsa $$$=Kick-Ass games.
is that not what I fucking was implying?
diablo3 will not have a singleplayer mode, it will be just like WoW, get over it kids
no more topless andariel or bloody torture devices, but it will be the greatest MMO ever (till darkfall)
but im just a Bigger Diablo 3 fan
and I am currently playing diablo 2
I just really think diablo 3 will dominate anything in its path ^^
but heh maybe thats just me
Diablo2 has a Single Player feature????!!!!111one lol. WoW should be their one and only MMO. Making two is stupid. The style of D2 is unique and Blizzard would never take that away. A Diablo MMORPG would be mockery to the Diablo series.
any game that is released dies a slow death, but most games don't blow up like wow did... but the servers being re-usable is a good point, i don't know exactly how this kind of stuff works but if they do make diablo 3 a MMO then by the time diablo comes out... wow will have lost a lot of subs and couldn't they use the left over servers for a new game?
I would probobly still play it but i wouldnt enjoy it as much
The thing about diablo is that its Dark, And thats what made it Unique from EVERY game out there
/Rotflcupcake
I think that Blizzard said that their sub base was still growing...
roffle ok, Copy and paste that statement for safe keeping, I will be returning here when it is confirmed that diablow is a mmo
