Well, here is the official statement by the website



Quote:
Ahoy there, fellow Diablo fans!

Well, there's no point in beating around the bush any longer, so let's get right down to it. A few months ago we were contacted by Blizzard in regards to the Diablo3.com domain name. While they appreciate all the work that's been put into running this big Diablo fan community over the years, they still want the domain name. Hmm, I wonder why? Now before you get all up in arms about it, allow me to explain a few things.

First off, this fan site isn't going anywhere, it's just getting a new name: Diablofans.com! Blizzard is actually being really cool about it, giving us all the time we need to make it a smooth transition before we hand the old domain over to them. So be sure to update all of your bookmarks and point 'em to diablofans.com instead. Your user accounts will all still be perfectly functional and, along with this new site name, we'll soon have a big site redesign up and running as well. A new name, a new look. Huzzah!

Secondly, while Blizzard is indeed acquiring the diablo3.com domain name, they told me that this shouldn't be considered an announcement for the Diablo 3 game we've been waiting for all these years. They acquire new domains all the time. While this is true, I personally can't help but think that this is a confirmation of sorts that they're working on the next Diablo game. Sure, they can claim it's because they want to protect their intellectual properties 'n what have you, but I can't imagine they would all of a sudden be so interested in the diablo3.com domain if they weren't working on a new Diablo 3 game behind the scenes.

On a final note, I want to thank all of you guys who've made this community so strong over the years. It's only going to get better around here and I hope you'll all stick with us. One of the nice things about this whole name-change ordeal is that Blizzard really appreciates the fact that we're a dedicated fan site and we'll be working with them much more closely in the future to bring you the latest Diablo game news.

It's funny, I've had so many offers over the years from people who wanted to pay a lot o' cash for the diablo3.com domain name and I wasn't even willing to consider then. I set out to have a great Diablo fan site because I simply loved the Diablo series. Fortunately, with the help of some great people on the staff and fans like you, we accomplished just that. But when Blizzard came around asking for the domain, I was excited about it both as a Diablo fan and for their recognition of all the work we've put into the site. Fortunately for us, the diablofans.com domain name was available and it fit perfectly in line with the intentions of this site, so I registered it and here we are. Diablo3.com will still be active for a few more months so everybody can have a chance to get used to the new Diablofans.com domain. After that, it will simply point to the Blizzard.com homepage... at least until they're ready to use it for something more worthwhile. One of the nice things about the new diablofans.com domain is that it's all-encompassing. Instead of the site just being for people waiting on Diablo 3, it can serve as the main hub for *all* current and future Diablo games. Isn't it nice to know you'll always have a place online you can call home? Hey, even Diablo's demon minions need a place to hang their hats too.

Alright, that's all the news for now. I'm sure all of this news is gonna get the Diablo 3 rumor mill running like a mad banshee... so have fun discussing the announcement with your fellow Diablo fans!
Odd, it's now www.diablofans.com .. Well, basically we're still where we started just a very tiny small step closer towards Diablo 3, atleast with the acquisition of the domain name, there can be a bit more skepticism.

It was a bit overhyped, but they also mentioned if you hadn't noticed in June that Blizzard will be taking over. And that would leave it one month short of that WWI..

Yep, WWI is June 28th/29th. I'm pretty excited myself.

Same here, same here. I don't know why because I clearly read that this would not be a Diablo 3 announcement, and that they weren't doing etc etc etc. I guess I should've seen this coming, however, I feel it nice that Blizzard went ahead and swiped up that domain name, as it is the most prominent one that they would possibly need, and in fact use for the offical game site (diablo2.com/starcraft.com ..etc). I guess we are just going to have to wait longer and see, once again. June isn't too far from now and Blizzard could easily throw some sort of teaser site up then, or not. If they had some good marketing they could have that website up at the begenning of June, create a huge amount of hype by the Worldwide invitational and have plenty of basically free traffic coming onto their sites.

The possibilities are endless, I guess we just wait and see, once again.

There's no way they would have a Diablo 3 teaser site up before the WWI. I would expect it to come up right after they announce it at the WWI. I don't think they'll even really hint at it much at the WWI. All they will say is that they have a big announcement.

World wide invitational, I think it's based in France. A huge Gaming convention, thing. It's like E3 and Blizzcon.

Hoax. Links to Blizzard talking about this? Otherwise I'll be saying told you so. Maybe they will annouce it at WWI but this is just a great forum move. Blizzard is the only official site, they don't need Diablo2.com or starcraft.com.
fail.

i can confidently say i think thats bogus. as kaneda said why would they use any domains other than blizzard.com/battle.net for their games when they dont have to.

They use Starcraft2.com and worldofwarcraft.com. They seem to be headed in the direction of having specific domains for each of their games.

I would imagine it's easier for them to operate solely with each individual game. As you've got to figure Worldofwarcraft.com probably gets a shit load of traffic, and if you were to combine it with diablo2, and starcraft as well as whatever other crap Blizzard floats around you'd have a server cluster fuck and plenty of downtime. If they individualize each game to meet the certain needs and bandwidth usage they don't have to worry about a clusterfuck, that's why.

Agreed. As it is World of Warcraft is often times laggy if not inoperable when there is any sort of server shut down. It's obvious they could do them all from the same site but it'd be more tedious for the consumer.

Hmm I suppose. I just figured since they didn't do diablo2.com and starcraft.com. Although those (aside from warcraft 1/2) really kinda "started" Blizzards new era.
