Quote:The goal of this thread is to put the rapidly growing amount of news and rumors that are building up around Diablo 3 possibly being announced at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational.

Re: Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational
Last year Blizzard announced Starcraft 2, this year many rumours are floating around that a Diablo 3 announcement is going to take place.

It would make sense to use this event to announce what millions of fans have been waiting for.

Also, i would like to point out that June 29th is the Diablo 2 release date anniversary. What a perfect day to announce the next Diablo.

Oooooh, start the rumors and add to the fire people!!  I wants my D3!  


D3! D3! D3! D3! D3!

ive heard alot of talk about diablo 3... i hope it happens.. was one of my favorite pc games ever

Easily one of my favorite PC games of all time. I spent COUNTLESS hours on it. I could only play as long as Dad wasn't on comp. But I still put in like 8 hours a day :)  That was for about 3-4 years or so.  Probably more.  I hated when people started switching to expansion LoD and when dupes started running rampant. That was what completely got me out of it.
