"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.

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.
