Look, I never said they aren't working on a new Diablo game. It's obvious that they are. To me, it actually looks like they're working on a Diablo mmo as well as a Diablo 3. I'm just a little skeptical about there being an announcement at the WWI, that's all.
Last WWI it was obvious they were going to annouce SC2 because they said themself they were going to announce a game and they were in South Korea. This WWI is the first one to happen in Europe and while the one last year happened in May this one is happening at the end of June on D2 and D2 LoD anniversary. Also it appears that every Diablo games were announced in Europe, so go figure it out for yourself whether or not they're going to announce D3.

Like I said in another thread - any hint or rumor Other than that the date for the WWi lands on June 29th (Diablo's birthday) is just icing on the cake. They choose that date. Diablo III will be announced.. no worries there.
if blizzard teases, just a little bit the cat would be out the bag. Then they'd have thousands of fans at the doorstep at WWI08 going nuts and that is a security issue. Why have so many magazines and different kind of press been invited to the event? do you really believe BLIZZARD needs that sort of marketing.
but i get where ZOGAR is coming from. We got so excited in the past, saying things like 'this is it!' or 'diablo will be announced at ............... (insert here)' lets not diasappoint ourselves.
hey lets not forget Xfire basically confirmed that there was a game announcement! I mean look at it, it was highlighted and bold! They would have done more than just take it off if it weren't true. They'd apologize for the mistake and what not, you can tell they just do not want to draw any more attention to the situation.

Thank you. We've been burned sooooo many times in the past, I see no reason why this trend will not continue. Let's look at what we've got to go on:
Blizzard acquires the diablo3.com domain: This is the only official thing that's been confirmed, even though it doesn't really mean anything. As Blizzard said, this acquisition should NOT be interpreted as a game announcement.
PC Gamer and PC Action hype that ended up being nothing: This was disheartening for me, because PC Gamer got the scoop on SC2. Since they've got nothing this time around, it makes me question a potential D3 announcement.
The WWI being held on the anniversary of the release of D2 and LoD: This could just be a coincidence that's been overly analyzed and scrutinized by rabid fans. It's a very obscure detail that Blizzard probably didn't even consider, nor would the average person even notice.
XFire slips a game announcement and then takes it back: I have a feeling XFire bought into the hype and just made this up, and had to take it down because Blizzard didn't want them getting people's hopes up since it's not accurate information.
The D2 patch and ladder reset: This is usually done around this time of the year anyway, so it probably doesn't mean anything. Fans might just be seeing patterns in the noise.
Sections of the WWI being for "mature audiences" and extra room for the exhibits: Not sure what to make of this one. To me, this one might be one of the only leads worth getting excited over.
News of a press conference at the WWI: Of course they're going to have a press conference to give the people and press the lowdown on the event itself. It doesn't necessarily mean they're going to make a D3 announcement.
There you go, take it for what it's worth. Again, I'm really looking forward to the WWI to see if anything will happen, but at the same time remember all the times we've been let down.
The Formula One Grand Prix was raced today in PARIS, France.
The Winner?
Fillipe Massa - (Portuguese speaking brazillian)

Diablo is devil in portuguese and Diavolo in Italian (say it fast - sounds the same). One week before WWI08 in the same city!

Just a random thought.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
