What Killer-Swift said. Each day the countdown image will mention a location that only Diablo players are familiar with. I showed the map of Sanctuary from the Diablo II Game Manual in this thread.
It was merely to entertain fans. They know these places. And those who read the Diablo: The Sin War trilogy recognized the first locations mentioned in the countdown banner. Try to follow where I start and where it will end in the map.

12. Cathedral of Light (Inarius' temple)
11. Seram
10. Kehjan

My guess would be Toraja/Torajan or Partha. However I haven't read the books, these places might be listed in the specefic order of the journey taken by the hero in one of the books? However I looked at the spots on the map, and I don't really see a pattern, especially Kurast threw me off. @_@

For all who have waited the time has come pick up your axes, swords,spears, and bows the awakening of hell is upon us protect sanctuary to your dieing breath
I can't find the exact patern but it is actually beginning from the south and going north... so I'd guess it will end at the Arreat Mountain?
Btw, if people don't feel confortable with my way of writing, please do not hesitate in PM me about it, I've been part of other communities before and I know how annoying it gets after a while...

I dont think it matters what direct its going in, just trying to get the idea across that sanctuary will be shaken....and hes just naming areas in sanctuary.
Well MD actually said it was done only to entertain the fans, so it's of no relevance to what will be revealed on May 1st. But at least is a nice game to play meanwhile...

Eh, yeah. Well, I guess it's still mildly amusing, then, wondering where the next place is.
No offence, but your post wasn't that easy to read either. *ducks*
At least it was in full English. You shouldn't have had to scratch your head trying to understand what it was i typed. Might have been the odd spelling mistake I was in a hurry before work.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
Well. I'll have to say. Most of me thinks that the big announcement is Blizzard taking over the domain name. It was bound to happen at some point. Especially seeing this news bit from Diablo-3.net...
"Two weeks ago, Gayardos, the admin of the Spanish Diablo 3 blog - diabloiii.es, reported that he received a certified mail from a law firm by order of Blizzard in which he is told to give up this domain, to redirect it or to transfer it to Blizzard.
He seems to have no real chance to keep the domain, as he wrote in a longer blog post today."
Another thing I noticed was while visiting Blizzplanet there was a link at the bottom that said "hosted by diablo3.com". Mind you this was not in the Diablo section, but on the front page. Maybe Blizzplanet is going to serve as the replacement fansite for diablo3.com. It would explain why these two fansites are the only ones with counters on them.
Other than that the only other possibility I think is that Blizzard will also give out Starcraft II beta keys in limited numbers. I'm sure that once Blizzard is positive they have all of the domain names secured for all of the countries they plan to release the game in they will then announce Diablo 3.
Kurast follows the suit of the different areas that will be shaken.
Maybe this is a hint that whatever Diablo3 form this announcement is in, it will have to do with the Khajistan (Sp?) continent.

edit: Just curious, by MD, why did you link my name to my profile in that picture? Was it really necessary? My post was right above yours. x_x'
