I'm bringing a camera and my laptop with a wireless connection. But I'm not positive if you can take video or pictures, I'm sure you can but I'm just not sure.
But I will be doing an update every five minutes, just to keep you guys up to date and sitting in front of your computers. So don't go anywhere, you might miss something.
You know theres a pretty high chance they wont announce anything?
Let me say this again:
BlizzCon=When they announce more info about SC2.
They're not going to split it into 2 games and talk about 2.
I highly dout it.
But we all know blizzard is currently making 3 games right now, so Im 99% sure D3 is one of them.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to Blizzcon specifically for Diablo III announcement (if that even happens). I'm going because of the culture that surrounds all of these franchises, it will be fun. Plus getting to see the developers again is worth every penny, in my opinion.

Like most of you here, I’m waiting for Diablo III or some continuation of the Diablo franchise. I’m sure most of you, including me, have often thought if the game will be worth the wait and will stand amongst the greatest games of all time, or at least the other Diablo games. And my answer to that question is a big fat yes. Why you might ask? Simple.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: These are my assumptions and reasons. I’ve put much thought into each reason, with an educated answer. The answers are not official and are only beliefs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First off, Diablo III will be designed and created by Blizzard Entertainment. The company hails as one of (if not) the greatest video game companies in the industry. Every game they have developed is highly acclaimed, and each game seems to get better than the previous one. This fact alone pretty much insures Diablo III’s success. But when will we learn the game is in development and release window? Good question.
Inevitably, Diablo III will be at least announced this year. Blizzard is not oblivious when it comes to rumors, and they are watching the Diablo III rumors like a hawk. They purposely posted job openings for "the team behind Diablo I and II" to make people realize that Blizzard has something in the works. The rumors following shortly after would show Blizzard just how badly Diablo fans are craving a new Diablo – translating everything they hear into a rumor. The fans of Diablo are getting noticeably impatient, with the rumors escalating to stories on sites such as IGN and GameSpot. To get back on topic – Diablo III will be at least announced this year, at BlizzCon, which I expect to be announced soon, and I expect its release some time mid-late 2008. It will be a tribute to the games tenth year anniversary.
Despite rumors, I myself, highly doubt that Diablo III will be an MMO. Blizzard has World of Warcraft to generate a steady cash flow. Blizzard also seems uninterested to produce any more MMO’s anytime soon, which adds to my doubt. I also believe that with those extra servers that Blizzard has stockpiled – they’ll be honoring the tenth year anniversary of Battle.net as well, with new servers with a little more oomph. Keep in mind the new Battle.net will be activated with the release of Diablo III. (Originally honoring the release of Diablo and Battle.net together in 1997)
Intermission! You’re all probably thinking I’m crazy. You’re all probably right, but who really even cares?
Here’s what I believe will be in Diablo III itself.
Cain will return. Tyrael will return, and most importantly, Diablo will return. These characters are all huge favorites, and the game cannot function without them. Mephisto and Baal? Count them in. Andariel and Duriel? Count them in, too. Azmodan and Belial? You betcha. The game will be larger, and will handle all seven evils.
Diablo II’s vast acts will be nothing compared to Diablo III’s. "Acts" may not even be good enough to describe the world. "Regions" may be a more efficient word to describe Diablo III’s setup. Don’t worry, you can pretty much guess Westmarch, home of the Paladins, will be covered.
There comes a time in a video game franchise’s life when it must change along with time. Diablo’s time to go full 3D may be now. Yes – many of you are shaking your head, but it is fact. Link and Mario evolved. Now the big bad demon must evolve. Trust me, it won’t be such a bad move. It will look awesome.
Diablo III will remain Mature. If Blizzard set this game as Teen to generate more sales, then money has gone straight to their head. Diablo is to please the mature group of fans. Blood and gore will be present. Violence, frightening images, and language? Count it in.
Customizable characters? Oh yes. Very much so. Almost every game will evolve to allow customizable characters. It is an easy addition that allows a lot of people to express their personality. Gender changes I would also assume is present. Skills will not change due to gender. I don’t believe you’d be able to be evil or good, however. I think you’ll only be able to be good – at least on single player.
Speaking of skills – many will return, but there will be many new ones. The classic firewall, lightning, holy hammer, and whirlwind will probably return to satisfy fans with a liking of the old games. Since the graphics and physics engine will most likely be changed, there is a high possibility to see very animated spells and attacks.
That’s only a few of the things I believe to be included in Diablo III.

great ideas and understanding, i like them all. what you said about rated M though, is a bit wrong. an example is this: my little brother plays Diablo and Diablo II and hes 8. not only this, but my parents see him playing and think nothing of it. so naturally, blizzard wont care about the rating because younger kids will play anyways. i mean, how old were you when you started playing?
anyways, great points on everything, and i stand alongside of you in the 3d and the announcment comments. kudos to you mighty AcidReign
Diablo 3 will definitely be worth the wait, if anyone remembers when the latest warcraft 2 expansion came out, it was a very long time until warcraft 3 came out, so if they waited that long to make a warcraft 3, why would they hesitate to make a diablo 3. Though the bad thing about the diablo 2: lord of destruction was that you had to kill Baal, the last of the three. So if we have a diablo 3 what will the main plot be in it, for some reason i had the philosophy that diablo is somehow ressurected in the 3rd diablo, that is if there is a 3rd one. But if there is a diablo 3, its definitely worth the wait.
