After hearing that Blizzcon will have extra space.. and now WWi having extra tickets for sale... something seems suspicious.... something is coming.
Yeah, anyone know how many days before the last WWi that they said they were going to announce a new game?
Either a week or two weeks before.
No-one should be worried, there are too many factors pointing toward a Diablo announcement for there not to be one. I always said that I would never be confident of Blizzard announcing a Diablo game whilst this site was still Diablo3.com. Well, it's not now so in my mind there is a 100% possibility of an announcement. I find it inconceivable for there not to be one.

What do you all think?
It doesn't mean anything. Companies/organisations do this for everything, so that its fair for everyone. If they made all the tickets available at first, then they would all go before everyone had a chance to even hear about it. I've been waiting for this to happen ever since the first lot of tickets sold out.
Can't wait to see if they make any sort of countdown for Diablo III in a few weeks...
I don't see them doing such a thing.
IF they are to make an announcement at one of these two functions, I highly doubt they will telegraph their intention; not with all the side-stepping they've done up to this point (i.e., "we have no plans to announce at this time.")
But what about the teaser countdown to Starcraft II? They've said the same thing about starcraft as they have with Diablo up until now.
Ah. Well, I haven't followed closely the goings-on with the StarCraft and WarCraft universes, so I didn't take that into account; didn't realize there was a countdown to the SCII announcement.
You never saw this on blizzard's website? We were all hoping that it would say 'Diablo III' instead of 'Starcraft II'. Each day (or every few days, I can't remember) they revealed a new product on the timeline. on the final day at the WWI, Starcraft II was revealed as the next product on the timeline.
The funny thing is after everything.. it made so much sense for it to say Starcraft II - it completely matches the background lol
After thinking about it.. I don't think there will be a countdown either.. or the background will have to be red to match "Diablo III"
Only time will tell I guess. :confused:
lol you are right the starcraft 2 seem to fit the background so perfectly that really nothing else would fit in it place. Like the diablo one for example looks like its fake or something.

This is what it looked like early on:
