Whatever is revealed will definately be posted here ASAP, and as the time draws closer the conspiracies grow larger and larger. What sucks really is the Diablo crowd has waited for so long for anything, and now this could just be another Hoax/Publiblicity stunt, who knows? Possibly Blizzard purchasing the domain? Who has any idea.. That would be the best thing, as if they purchase the domain atleast then anything on there from then on would be official, or maybe they just want to silent the fans.

Here's a snippett from the WoW forums.

Diablo3.com - Now, a few days ago a counter began on this website. Set to end on May 1st. Above this counter reads, Number of day's until half the web links to diablo3.com. But why?

Now, they claim that it is not an official announcement of Diablo 3 by blizzard, but will not say what it is. Now as i noticed this, i also noticed that the forum list's on Worldofwarcraft.com have changed. They have changed the Realm and PVP Realm location, and if you look under Star Craft 2, you will see an opening for another forum. Could this be Diablo 3, which could be announced May 1st? Will this coincide with the International Blizz-con? I don't know but i was hoping for a blue post to tell me i'm wrong.

Also, from Diablo3.com itself here is the direct last post they have uploaded...

In the past days there have been a lot of activity in the network sites after the countdown teaser. A few forum threads keep continuous debate between Diablo fans of what this announcement will be. I have given a few responses of what it is not, to make sure fans won't be thinking the wrong thing. We have made no claims and expect fans to not get caught up with the wave of speculations and rumors in the forums and the web to the point to believe them.

With that said, I will mention some of those I have ruled out since it seems fans haven't thoroughfully read all the forum posts in said thread.

Things the May 1 Announcement are not:
1. It is not an official announcement of Diablo 3
2. It is not about an upcoming Diablo novel
3. It is not a Network merge

Only Blizzard Entertainment may make an official announcement of games, unless we had a leak. However, we have no leaks. We know as much as you do whether or not there will or not be an announcement at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals. We do have our own set of theories such as the Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals ending the same day Diablo II was released (June 29 2000) and Diablo II: Lord of Destruction expansion being released (June 29, 2001). We will all have to wait and see what happens.

There are complete Wiki pages out there that go into great detail. Now, I don't want to knock the other D3 May 1st threads, but this way atleast guests and others lookin in can find another "official" link to this story, and be sure, that when it breaks, this post will be updated for everyone to see.
