"Sorry to get your hopes up, but we can officially deny that Diablo is on our cover next month. We?re announcing something big and exciting and exclusive (actually, there are two big exciting exclusive announcements in this issue!), and we had to go a long way to get it, but it?s not from Blizzard." said Dan Stapleton (PC Gamer Magazine, Senior Associate Editor).

It is possible that the "Top Secret MMO Project" jobs are for WOTLK, because if I remember correctly, they have been there even before the second WoW expansion was announced.

Yeah but I'm pretty sure they classify all WoW games and expansion as just World of Warcraft. The little icon speaks for itself, and I never saw a Burning Crusades one, and I doubt there's a WOTLK one. You could be right, but it's just a doubt in my mind. However, there could be 2 Top Secret projects, D3 could be one, and be 3D, but not necessarily an MMO, and another MMO they're making. Why they'd not make it an MMO with the success they've had, is a good question, but is possible.

As much as I trust that image, I'm going to go ahead and say that it may be faked.

A few peopler run their own servers for WoW, and could easily give themselves "GM" status, and send that to a person,..

The person could just take a screen cap and highlight it.

Unless that's you playing.

Nope, blizz wouldn't compete with them selfs. WoW is raking in the cash. Spending millions to develop an MMO wouldn't be the brighest of ideas.

Sorry, I disagree.

WoW players and Diablo players are two completely different markets.

Pretty sure they'd be all for experimenting with a second MMO. It's not like they're stealing business from anyone. Not to mention with all the success WoW has had, why not try and attract more players to the MMO...ness? Regardless, I'd be happy with whatever genre Diablo 3 is... within reason, obviously.

Hardly. They both feature fantasy creatures and magic. Not correct me if I'm wrong. But that sounds a lot like WoW to everyone who doesn't dribble over every detail released. Now if it was a Starcraft MMO, that would be a diffrent matter. :)

A Diablo III would be great either way but I think a Hybrid Approach would be awesome. Expand on the Age of Conan Idea and have the game capable of being an MMO whilst containing the usual great Diablo single player storyline. For those that don't know in Age of Conan you enter "night mode" (obviously change that perhaps) and when in this mode its all single player/main lore driven and its quite extensive. However when you want to mix it up with other players, run instances, or do perhaps some non storyline specific quests, boom back to "day mode" and your in the usual MMO environment with other players running around etc.

Blizzard is the only company I would trust to make Diablo 3 more epic than Diablo 2. Whether they make it an MMO or not or possibly even a hybrid I am sure that is will still be entertaining and keep me addicted for years. I mean it's Blizzard we are talking about here.

    • Microsoft announces 12th-gen Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2 processors

      Can you read? I've said I'm willing to pay more for a notchless (no notch) 3:2 screen.
    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more

      Not even an OLED display on the laptops. Also it seems that the laptop design isn't the same as the Surface Ultra model. Looks like bargain bin at high prices.

    • VirtualBox 7.2.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      VirtualBox 7.2.10 by Razvan Serea VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Targeted at server, desktop and embedded use, it is now the only professional-quality virtualization solution that is also Open Source Software. Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, 7, 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6, 3.x, 4.x, 5.x and 6.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, OpenBSD, NetBSD and FreeBSD. Some of the features of VirtualBox are: Modularity. VirtualBox has an extremely modular design with well-defined internal programming interfaces and a client/server design. This makes it easy to control it from several interfaces at once: for example, you can start a virtual machine in a typical virtual machine GUI and then control that machine from the command line, or possibly remotely. VirtualBox also comes with a full Software Development Kit: even though it is Open Source Software, you don't have to hack the source to write a new interface for VirtualBox. Virtual machine descriptions in XML. The configuration settings of virtual machines are stored entirely in XML and are independent of the local machines. Virtual machine definitions can therefore easily be ported to other computers.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      OK, now ask yourself how are they going to enforce that law? By requiring every single adult to prove their age and provide their legal identity documents to an UNREGULATED 3rd party company that already has a long track record of multiple data breaches. Not to mention, parliament have voted AGAINST this ban, twice, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. So, where's the democracy here, because that looks like dictatorship to me. The solution here is parental responsibility, not government control. Run some public service announcements on TV and UK social media teaching parents how to setup parental controls. That's already been proven to actually work. But the, this is not and has NEVER been about keeping kids safe. It's about control and monitoring. Watching what you're doing online and controlling what you can see and what you can say.
