Personaly, I doubt that Diablo would get an MMO before Starcraft since it's much weaker in the lore/art department. I honestly can't remember any actual lore in Diablo, just random mobs and mindless fun.
And who the fuck decided that the ice splash screen was related to Diablo? It's pretty obvious that it's just a hint that Blizzard will give a final release date for the new WOW expansion.

The Diablo lore is there if you want it, but thats in books outside the game. The ice is hell frozen over and now melting.
But then i think this ice is nothing, i think the image in the css file is the big thing.
More then one have said they remember this fan art as diablo by a fire trying to get warm.

Blizzplanet is reporting that if you go to www.battle.net/forums/board.aspx?ForumName=d3-general (which would be the Diablo 3 general forums), you get an error that "The Battle.net Forums Are Currently Down." However, if you go to any other forum name that doesn't yet exist (like www.battle.net/forums/board.aspx?ForumName=wowinsider-rocks), you get redirected to the main Battle.net forums page. Only d3-general gives the "forums down" error.
If you like to follow Blizzard-related rumors, this may sound familiar. Way back at Blizzcon '07, this was one way we found out that Wrath of the Lich King was going to be the next expansion: www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath gave a "Forbidden" error, whereas any other non-existent path at worldofwarcraft.com gave a regular old 404.

Diablo is not a rpg, it's a roguelike in fantasy setting.
I enjoyed both Diablo's purely for their story and gritty setting (who thinks that Diablo 3 will still be the same dark game? Remember Warcraft 3...). But I do god damn despise the fact that thanks to them, somebody got the bright idea that RPG's are about whacking a mouse button...

Planescape: Torment, Fallout 1 & 2, Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 etc. In action rpg's the emphasis is on the action, rather than roleplaying your character. |
I obviously dont like rpgs then, cause those were crap imo.

Let's again look at the image numbers (the one with the purple thing). The numbers were 4, 23, 15, 16. Let's put them in a different order and add the missing two (IMO):
4, 8, 15, 16, 23 ,42
See anything? They're the numbers from LOST  . Maybe Blizz is just playing with us with the different game symbols and markings. Maybe indeed it will be a completely new franchise.
Or maybe it reffers to Diablo. We all know that the numbers and the Valenzetti Equation, which they come from, mean the end of the world (in some way - HERE and HERE) and Diablo is capable of making the world end .

Guildwars isn't even close to diablo? Blizzard won't make a halfassed game anyway.

if Blizzard is smart, and they are, they probably make a mix between a single player game and mmo ex: world of warcraft, because Diablo means multiplayer, although I had alot of fun playing the singleplayer

IMO they should make it like Diablo 2, just increase the players per game.

A 'real' rpg? Like what?

You need to talk with them http://nma-fallout.com
You should open topic "Diablo rules Fallout sucks".

That's a bit like sticking your pecker into an ant nest. Seems like a fun idea for about 3 seconds.

MMO Diablo could still be cool, if they keep the fastpaced topdown action

It's not topdown, but isometric. Maybe I am just being nostalgic, but I think it is one of the charms of the Diablo games.
I hope they don't make it into an MMO, as they are all the same to me. Too much streamlined and dumbed down, too much useless grinding. Diablo needs to stay a bit more hardcore imo.
Also, I hope to gawd they don't adopt the cartoony look in Diablo. |
