I could see them releasing another expansion pack for Diablo II.

Actually, if you look at the top news post on that site, they say it's not going to be a D3 announce.

That was posted after I put the thread on here. It's a recent development. It still has piqued my attention though. I didn't think it was a D3 announcement but something D3 related that showed their committed interest in developing the series.

Hmph! Anything new is always a good thing, even false hope can still help things stay in the limelight.

I thought the Wii was fake for a very long time before it was publicly announced. D3 just might be the same way.

I've been waiting for D3 to come out forever... it may never come though :(

Some people suggest it could be an announcement that Blizzard is buying diablo3.com.

However, the owner of diablo3.com has said that he would give the domain to Blizzard at no cost if they wanted it.

WHICH I THINK IS FOOLISH. Doesn't he realize he could sell it to them for a TON? He could get a million easy.

Nintendo bought the domain name pokemonwhitegold.com does this mean anything? Not necessarily.

Why would blizzard, 6 years after releasing D2: Exp purchase D3 UNLESS they were actually going to be going through with the game, which would be excellent.

We'll just have to wait and see what it is. The guy said that it's a "solid clue of things set in motion." Basically, what this means to me, is that he's going to tell us something that pretty difinitively states that Diablo 3 is in the process of being made.

Then again, I'm not getting my hopes up. There have been too many times when everyone thought Diablo 3 was coming out and it never did.

Knowing that blizz does this kind of thing a lot, they could just be messing with our minds to see how much hype it brings. The amount of hype could result in the decision to make a D3 though.

Blizzard isn't doing this.

Blizz can be a real jerk sometimes. Besides, D2 Expansion came out 6 years ago. Why would they wait 6 years to make D3

I guess we just need to wait 'til May 1st, and go from there.

Who knows. They might make us wait even longer.

Just read through the pages of discussion why you wait.

Their discussion is interesting.

The pic could just be to make a point that every time you talked to him in D2 he said "Stay a while and listen."
