Surprise! Jay Wilson may have slipped somehow that a Diablo 3 expansion might follow after the release of Diablo 3, and the Necromancer class might return in the expansion. It is not set in stone, but it is a fair hope that the Necromancer or previous classes may be brought back. Read the full article at MTV Multiplayer
... for those who are really passionate about the Necromancer, there’s still hope to see the class in a “Diablo III” expansion. In fact, Wilson thought that expansions might be a great place to bring back any of the old classes not included, particularly since the team itself had passionate debates on the topic — almost as much as the game’s art direction.
any day

well here goes this thread too :-(
True, but it's just adding to the excitement for the game.
People act like Blizzard is new and doesn't know wtf they're doing. Blizzard is the god of good games. Diablo is their game, their franchise, not ours. They know best how to raise their own child than an outsider does. We can offer advice, but they can tell us to go to Hell, which they pretty much have. I fully support that.
So far the barb is looking to be my first char...WD is cool, but man... the barb is just a badass... lol.. I may have to put names in a hat >_<
But are they implying they'll release an expansion shortly after D3 comes out?
I guess it's not a bad thing, it's just LOD came out about year after D2. :3
as we saw in the gameplay video. you can click an ally and they can join your party like a merc. maybe there will be some old classes coming back to be a merc type character. so we could be seeing some of the old classes coming back from diablo 2 and see them fighting still.
It could also mean an open ending to the story in D3 only to be knitted up in the expansion.:cool:
Possible ending to D3: Tyreal becomes corrupt and you must defeat him.
I'm with cheeba....what's wrong with the pally? What kind of fantasy game would this be with no holy warrior fighting evil?
r u kidden me?? hes like 60 at most. (in d2 LOL, he had white hair boney as hell) 20 years later is diablo 3. But they said he might come in the expansion. And for all we know the expansion might be another 5 years later ( in the story). So therefore he will be 85 when he is introduced in the expansion. LOL
Have you read the books? There was a necromancers over 100 years old and he was really powerful.
