Blizzard acquires Diablo3.com
"A statement on Diablo3.com yesterday indicated that the site was
changing its URL to DiabloFans.com at Blizzard's behest, and that
it was in the process of transferring the old domain to the Diablo
publisher.
Knowing that such an acquisition would send the Internet
rumourmongers into overdrive, Blizzard made it clear to mockery,
the administrator of the fansite in question, that "this shouldn't
be considered an announcement" of Diablo 3.
Blizzard's denial hasn't done much to slow the rumour mill,
however, especially given the fact that this year's Blizzard
invitational is only two months away. Last year's equivalent event
was the scene of the surprise announcement of Starcraft 2, and the
Paris event would be an appropriate stage for Diablo 3 to be
introduced to the world."
This year's worldwide invitational in Paris
falls on the 28th and 29th of June. Both diablo 2 and lod were
released on the 29th of June. I am expecting an announcement on
that day!
