I don`t really care if it is in the making or not, i`m just saying that domain name doesn`t mean anything.

I know dude, but i think the same thing did happen to SC2, last year. So 90% sure thing is that it's in the works...

FYI, starcraft2.com was owned by Blizzard since before SC came out...


But i bet Blizz has all of their franchises in development hell until they decide it's about time to announce them... then they buckle down, polish the concepts to alpha status, announce them, then really start working on it... just look at how much SC2 changed... and that's nothing compared to how much Starcraft changed (at least graphic wise).

Diablo 2 ladder reset will be on June 17.

http://www.battle.net/
We will be performing a Diablo II ladder reset on June 17 beginning at approximately 9:00 a.m. PDT. The reset is anticipated to require approximately six hours of downtime to complete, and during that time all Diablo II Battle.net realms will be unavailable for play. When the reset occurs all existing ladder characters will be moved to non-ladder. This provides a fresh start and new competition for leveling supremacy on the ladder realm.

Thanks for the heads-up! :)

Of course, I think I over saturated myself with Diablo 2 a long while ago. It's fun, but once you reach the higher levels, it's all Magic Find this, Magic Find that. Not my definition of fun. :)

Crossing my fingers hoping that Blizzard's recent registration of the diabloiii domain name means that Diablo III is in the works! :oex:

They need to balance some of the skills though (assuming that they keep most of the skills from Diablo II). Blessed Hammer is just plain overkill once you stack all of the possible damage modifiers.

How come I didn't see this sooner?

Yeah, Diablo III better be revealed at Blizzcon this year. Its certainly time for a new Diablo game.

My friend and I are serious Diablo II players, but we don't play on Battle.net because its stupid. All of the multiplayer functions in the game are outdated, so you can rarely TCP/IP anymore unless its a LAN, and no one plays on battle.net for fun; only to trade, beat people in PvP, powerlevel, and do baal runs (its even worse in D1). Not to mention the ladders are annoying - my characters are always getting switched from non-ladder to ladder and vice versa and it limits the number of people I can play with. We prefer to go local.

diabloii.net has an interesting article on "everything we know about D3 so far", I don't know if someone already mentioned it on this topic, (don't feel like reading 8 pages), but its a good read with some surprises.

Mainly, I hope they don't WoWify the game. I've been reading some scary ideas, like mounts and stuff, things Diablo doesn't need that link it to Warcraft. There are some good ideas out there too, and I'm sure Blizzard will come up with something amazing.

Yeah...I agree. You forgot to mention PKers though. ;)
Those are the worst, right after dupers/account hackers. :disagree:

Hmm...I don't think anyone has mentioned that article. Do you have the link to the article? :)

Quoted for Emphasis 10x. :D

I'm pretty sure they'll come up with something amazing as well...they always do. :)

Let's hope, they won't screw those, who only play in the SP mode by making decent items almost impossible to find.

http://www.diabloii.net/wiki/Diablo_3 Here it is. Enjoy!

Also, I've considered the possiblity that maybe Blizzard will not be making the next Diablo game. I was discussing D3 with some of my friends, and one of them (who, ironically enough, doesn't really like Diablo) brought up a good point that related to the Everquest series:

"The makers of Everquest made a good game and improved upon it significantly with updates, then sold the rights to the series name for a heap of money. The buying company tried to produce a good sequel, EQ 2, which failed miserably. Then the original owner decided to produce the EQ 2 that they wanted to now that they had the money - and they named it Vanguard. So essentially, Vanguard is the true EQ 2."

I don't know how much of what he said was true, but his point was, that we Diablo fans may be looking for a name too closely. If Blizzard does make a D3, who says their money-hungry attitude won't get in the way? What if they make it an MMO? Or charge money monthly? There are many ways it could go wrong.

Even though there were several games that tried to mimic Diablo fast-paced hack-and-slash style (Titan Quest, that free online game made by Flagship), none of them have quite compared. In addition to watching Blizzard for Diablo news, we should keep a close eye on Flagship, which has the highest concentration of ex-Blizzard North employees. Who says a game they release with a different name will not be our Diablo 3?

Well, the original creator of D2 was Bill Roper. Maybe Hellgate London is the True Diablo3 :devious:

Well, Hellgate London was disappointing, but it still is not a bad game. It just looked REALLY good before it came out, and it turned out to just be decent. It's different than most other MMO's though.

Also, Hellgate London is definitely not our Diablo 3. Diablo is a hack-and-slash Action RPG; Hellgate London is a MMO with FPS capabilities. We'll know it when it happens.

Well, it depends on the class you pick. Some play as a shooter, some more tactical and 2 other classes let you hack n slash trough the game!

@CloudRiderX: Thanks for the link. :)
It was some very interesting info, to say the least.

You know...you have a point there. Of course, there's the one advantage that Blizzard strives for the highest quality in its games (which is why they tend to get delayed or even canceled if they're not meeting standards), so there's still hope that Diablo 3 will be a worthy sequel. :D

You guys see the new poster they show you when trying www.blizzard.com ? Does that look like the crystal Tyrael destroyed at the end of D2 to anyone else?!

Looks like a frozen hell to me. Which associates with the same game.
