Deciding to close DiabloFans, along with a handful of other community websites, wasn’t an easy decision for our company, but we could no longer justify the substantial engineering resources it took to run the properties. It was a sad day in our office when we announced the sunsetting of many beloved sites.
Previously, we weren’t able to entertain selling the sites because they were built on a proprietary platform. It would be a monumental task for an external engineering team to maintain or migrate the communities. Knowing this, we announced the site closures, but just as the sun slowly began to set for these properties, a figure appeared . . .
As of this week, we’ve identified a company with the necessary experience to buy and run these sites (including DiabloFans), so that the passionate communities will continue to have homes on these long-standing sites. With this, we have started to transfer the sites to Magic Find. As for the staff on these sites, it will be up to them and Magic Find to decide how they’d like to move forward.
This isn’t the end for DiabloFans. It’s a new and exciting beginning. We wish Magic Find the best as we say goodbye to several of the properties that helped our company grow into what it is today.
This will be the last update from Curse/Fandom. All future communications will be from the new site owner.
Fan-tastic
Thank God. I got tired of explaing builds, rotations, and playstyles by typing them all out over and over again
Welcome back!
Yay! I read the Book of Adria and was reminiscing about how I used to discuss all stuff Diablo here!
*pops a bottle of champagne
Edit: btw where are all my older posts
Never doubted!
so happy to see Dfans back !! WB
So where should one check for news of where the new site will be at? Will it sitll be diablofans.com?
As far as we know they purchased this domain, so it is not going anywhere, but we as much in the dark as you are.
Well, I am just happy, there is no better site in the world for D3 than this right here
So happy to see site staying up. \o/
YES!!!!!!
I am so happy. Been part of DiabloFans for a while and was so sad to see it shut down.
I was just thinking that this is another hint/proof that diablo 4 is going to be revealed soon. Whether it be before or at Blizzcon 2019, it seems inevitable now.
Obviously Magicfind has inside information that we do not, and it seems like a smart investment on their behalf if the reveal of D4 is coming soon.
Not to mention Blizzard really needs to save face after all this mobile s*** stinking up the air after Blizzcon 2018.
I am not a fan of Mobile games, but I will admit, if anyone could potentially do it right, its Blizzard, it is Neteasy that has me worried.
Either way we all know it will be a huge success, and it WILL have a place on this site.
Gonna be transparent here, but none of us have any more information than you do. It's easy to extrapolate at an announcement of some kind for BlizzCon this year because of recent news, but nobody here knows what's going to happen.
OMG. Diablo 4 confirmed!
