"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).

Found this on www.diablo3.com (or www.diablofans.com, which ever it is now)

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.

      By Steven P. · Posted

      EA reached out to our reporter that mainly does gaming content and reviewed loads of other games, why would this be shocking to anyone? I admit maybe we were considered this time around because of the extra coverage UFC was getting and they wanted a broader audience for this release? IDK. I can tell you that we aren't paid to do the reviews, the fun part of it is (mostly) being able to keep what we review and giving an honest opinion on what we're reviewing.
