I can find Diablo III in anything. If it was a picture of Santa I'd find fucking Diablo 3. I made the following. Granted, I'm totally without sleep for the last day or so.    And then this from diablofans.whatever Today is 04.jpg = D
if Tomorrow will be 09.jpg = I (if its not, maybe not diablo at all )
Wednesday will be 01.jpg = A
Thursday will be 02.jpg = B
Friday will be 12.jpg = L
Saturday will be 15.jpg = O (June 28 WWI 1st Day)
Sunday will be 3.jpg = 3 or three.jpg or whichever. = (June 29 WII 2nd Day, and B-day of Diablo) So, basically, if tomorrow is 09.jpg, it's Diablo 3. If not, it's not going to be worth following. Also, I hate Blizzard in the face. |

Looks more like Starcraft Protoss then Diablo to me.

They would not tease the same game twice in a row. That would be too much letdown for blizzard fans to take. Especially Diablo fans. They generally only tease completely unnanounced shit.
Also, WWI is in Europe (Diablo is biggest there) and the press conference is on Diablo's birthday.

Was thinking it would be for an announcement of a release date.

If Blizzard pulls something that lame, their PR Machine has gone awry. They've never done this sort of shit for stuff like that.

Eh, SC III is going to sell 10 million plus. It's a BIG deal.

It'll sell 10 million+ without a release date. That's my point. It's time to start the hype machine for something else. It's either a total letdown as the Wrath Open Beta date, or a D3 announce. If this was in Korea, I'd agree about SCII. If it wasn't Diablo's birthday and things weren't named the ways they are and if there weren't rune images from socket items in diablo 2 in the image, I'd agree with you. If you weren't just trying to destroy hope, I'd agree with you. As such, I'm not going to agree with you. Punk. |

Look, if this isn't for Diablo III, then Blizzard is composed of the largest gathering of marketing idiots ever. Based on their past performance, I don't think that they're idiots.

WotLK doesn't have an official release date yet does it? Melting ice! Frozen throne! White whale! Holy grail! That or it's a chunk of the broken Worldstone  |

We've done this before haven't we? I just don't know if I can take lamentations and dissapointment here again. Perhaps we should just accept that it's the announcement of SCII Card/Board/Fastfood game. That's easier on everyone.

Speaking of marketing, we're out of milk.

Hmmm. I would love to try a Diablo like game - I fear Diablo 2 may be too old for me to enjoy.

No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.

I'm already disappointed in blizzard in so many ways, this being nothing more than a WotLK thing would just be normal at this point. Pimping their expansion like it's greater than anything Jesus could do.

I'd be pretty damn surprised it it was a release date for anything.
Blizzard's usual method for announcing release dates: "Hey Money-Printer-5000 is gold and it's coming out Nov. 1st."

It's probably a release date for the beta to wotlk. I fucking announcement of beta for a goddamn xpac. I hate to say it, but I think Blizzard actually needs a failure to humble them a bit. I've never been comfortable with them 100% ever since I was paying full-game price for the Lord of Destruction xpac.

WotLK F&F Alpha just ended. It'll be a Beta announcement or a relese date. Possibly both.
Diablo? Big blue ice looking thing? Diablo?

Just asked some people I know in the Alpha and they confirmed that it has indeed not ended. It was being spoken about a few places. Seems it was not the case though. *shrug*. I'm still going to go with the announcement being about WotLK though. Expansion into frozen northern landmass, all the promo stuff being icy and blue so far, image of a icy thing, and so on all points to that. I'm not seeing anything Diabloish in it at all. |

Ditto. You can even get the bundle (TQ + Immortal Throne) for 20 bucks at most DD sites. D2D is where I bought mine. |

Having read through enough signs, it's basically 100% Diablo 3 and if it's something else, it sounds like the fanbase would collectively shun Blizzard for a million years.

Either that, or some people will be bitching on forums and WotLK and SCII go on to sell millions of copies anyway. |

There's too many variables in place that point to Diablo. The runes, the date of WWI, the naming of the jpgs, the naming of the splash screens (tundra and cavern are both areas off the main path of chapter 5). Basically, if it's not D3, they're fucking evil.

Guessing D3 or as a long shot the new MMO. Bit too early in development to push that public yet though.
Or, we win twice and they're one in the same.

If they're one in the same, I'm going to open a commune named Tristram built around the idea of subsistence farming and loot.
