- 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:

hehe uite astept Diablo 3
Well thanx for corecting me it seems im not verry good at romanian
I get 404 no matter what i do
SInce Diablo3.com finally stopped redirecting to this site if i remember right didnt Starcraft2.com do the exact same thing last year? Went dead for a few days then bam, started the countdown?
lol thats true. maybe they won't have anything at all! Assuming it is Diablo 3, maybe they'll go through most of WII, and then say
"oh, i forgot to mention something =).... dim lights. *d3 trailer begins*"
You know it wont be another MMO, or RTS unless its just Warcraft4 - which wont happen because WoW is continuing the Warcraft storyline for now and it just wouldnt work out.
It would have to be either an FPS, or an action/RPG NOT named diablo. But to make another action/rpg and not have it be Diablo wouldnt be the greatest decision in the world anyhow. And i just cant see Blizzard making a FPS.
Well i dont think Blizz needs any new games , at least not right now and i think not the nex 10 or more years . They created good if not AWESOME universes with warcraft diablo and starcraft so they have what they need for a good game allready and thats a GOOD storyline ... at least thats my opinion :D:D
Starcraft: Ghost?
but..
For instance, I live in Michigan, and at work we have At&T. Diablo3.com doesn't redirect.
But, at home (1 mile away) I have Broadstripe, and it still redirects.
thanx for flooding the servers, guys!
too late for it now
