The latest Eastern Sun release is still 1.10-based, plus note that it copies most(all?) files it needs, including executables, to its own separate folder (for me it's at Diablo II\es300r).

I don't think you can use any crack either, only way I got it working (after a lot of trial & error and cursing) was via CD image loaded into d-tools (had to dl a new image just for that, too, the one I made with alcohol 120% off my cd didn't work, but for you it might).

Edit: or yeah just ask Xenthalon how to make the loader work, I never bothered with that myself.

Blizzcon will be October 10-11 this year, so if the PC Gamer rumor turns out to be just that, hopefully they'll announce D3 at Blizzcon.

But until then, for those who can't wait I can heartily recommend the Eastern Sun mod for D2, it's just pure awesomeness.

BlizzPlanet posted some rumors from PC Gamer that tease towards a big Blizzard announcement in Paris next month (thanks Blue's News).

- PC Gamer was probably among the Gaming press Magazines who visited Blizzard Entertainment early on May, a few weeks ago.

- If you remember, PC Gamer knew about the Starcraft II announcement last May 2007. Blizzard Entertainment made the announcement at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals (WWI) at Seoul, South Korea.

- PC Gamer can't talk about it for the next 30 days ... the 2008 Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals at Paris, France takes place on June 28-29.

- June 29 is the date Diablo II shipped on USA (2000) and the same date the expansion Lord of Destruction shipped on Europe a year later (2001).

I must admit, I DID think it was a tad odd that Blizzard, completely out of the blue, would snap up the Diablo3.com domain name only a few weeks ago.

Yeah guess the official description is hidden somewhere, but check this Something Awful thread about the mod for starters, it's a pretty detailed explanation about the mod features:

Ghost was made by a third party for blizzard. But as with everything that isn't going to be a mega-ultra-hit from blizzard's perspective, it was canned.

Unfortunately the PC Gamer article will not contain a Diablo 3 announcement.
(Atleast, that's what they say, but it might still be announced at Blizzcon later this year.)

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

What a kick in the face that turned out to be. I was really hoping for a new Diablo title.

Update (3pm): The XFire WWI page has been edited, removing the Game Announcement part. For those skeptic, I took a screenshot before it got edited. I learned to take screenshots after Legendary Pictures pulled a similar stunt (removing and editing Diablo from the Films Under Development section).

- 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:

Quote:
The Blizzard Worldwide Invitational, to be held in Paris on June 28th & 29th is sold out! If you can't attend, Xfire will be on the showfloor, bringing the event straight to your computer!

Get behind the scenes with Xfire during WWI to:
- Follow the opening ceremony and discover what new game will be announced in our chat rooms together with hundreds of other Blizzard fans
- Learn what the pros think of the latest Starcraft 2 developments, including the Zerg race
- Discover the latest version of the 2nd WoW Expansion, Wrath of the Lich King
- Meet the Blizzard devs and ask them your questions
- Get to see exclusive pictures and videos from the event
- Follow the invitational WoW Arena, Warcraft 3 and Starcraft tournaments

Come back here starting June 27th for our first news udpates about the event. In the meantime, you can register for the chat rooms by entering your email address on the right hand side of this page.

update 2.
Somthing si going downm all the diblo3.*** is either dying or redirect you to some blizzrd site.
Okay so I'm going to try and compile a list of sites and where they're redirecting people.

www.diablo3.com - Redirecting some to DiabloFans, others to a dead link.
www.diablo3.net - A (german?) D3 fansite.
www.diablo3.co.uk - Redirects to battle.net
www.diablo3.fr - Begins to redirect you to the Blizzard website, followed shortly after by a "Down For Maintenance" page.
www.diablo3.es - "Page cannot be displayed"
www.diablo3.eu - "Page cannot be displayed"
www.diablo3.de - Redirects to the D2: LoD page.

Anyone want to correct/add to this?

I get the following Up for maintanace page for the .es and .eu
and the rest is as you said, and yes it is a german fan site

Look at this:
www.blizzard.com
www.battle.net

It has to be Diablo 3 at this point

1.) Blizzard getting the diablo3.com domain
2.) The constant rumors spreading around ever since they aquired it
3.) The teaser being right before WWI just like SC2's announcement
4.) WWI being hosted in Paris this year
5.) Wotlk and SC2 already have been revealed with tons of content so there's no point in making a teaser for either one.
6.) WWI happens during Diablo's anniversary

yes Karmeck, I noticed a strange opening page when I went to the European blizzard homepage, hope it is Diablo 3, they have enough cash to develop alot of games at a time, earning 1.2 billion dollars a year with WOW

also they have a job opening (they mention in it that they developed Diablo 1 & 2

Direct link to the official Blizzard site splash screen:

http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/ice1.jpg


Mmm I dunno, blue never was a color I'd associate with Diablo... unless they're going with the Hell frozen over thing. Wink
Tho if you look closely there's some faint red there near the center... looks almost like stretched out runes?

Stupid blizz for making me guess, just announce it already!

This is the image that fills the background: http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/ctbg.gif


Notice the filename. "bg" clearly stands for "background". the "t" possibly stands for "teaser". What about the c? Is this the initial letter of the new IP? Or C=3 as in Diablo3?

The hidden picture today is 04.jpg (why did they name it to that instead of ex hidden.jpg or 01.jpg?). If it follows the same system as WWI howevery it will be D.jpg ... a good sign won't you say?

04 = D (as in Diablo)

I personally think it is for Diablo, they bought the domains and are hiring people, if they do give WOW Wrath of the Lich King a date, they will announce it later

Another interesting fact is the URL: http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/ice1.jpg

Why 232309? If we assume that the numbers correspond to the letters in the alphabet we get 232309=WWI ... ring a bell? Smile World Wide Invitational
23 = W
23 = W
09 = I
Anyway the "hidden" picture is called 04.jpg. (http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/04.jpg)
My guess is that tomorrow we'll see a picture called 09.jpg, then on wednesday 01.jpg ....

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)

STOP lookin at the image of 04.jpg =p its nothing related to the announcement!
if tomorrow's image is 09.jpg it is going to be Diablo for sure if you read the above lines

According to a person on Diablofans, the runes in the topleft corner is the first 2 runes from the runeword "Ice".

Looks pretty convincing to me.
