The Diablo III Thread

We'll find out in a few days, guess I have another form of RPG to look forward to except GW2.

My thoughts are that I don't care. They're just going to tell us in two days, I'm not going to try to decipher hidden cryptic messages. It's amazing that people find stuff like this, though. Who out there actually searched through the code for a second picture?

 

It's called viral marketing and Blizzard is obviously quite successful at it since there are fans out there that devote THIS much time to deciphering such clues even though the answers are coming out very soon!

The point is we wouldn't know they were going to tell us anything in 2 days were it not for this. The only real confirmation is a Blizzard exec letting it slip yesterday, and only then because he was drilled about this.

 

So this was just a clue to something. If I hadn't told you that a new title was being announced in 2 days would that have piqued your interest more?

Day 5

 

A new snowflake rune has appeared in the top of the ice. The runes now mark out a pentagram. A big WTF goes out to the penguin whose filename is 'harbinger';

Glitch or Easter Egg? Look at the URLs, but consider that you cannot do this to access Warcraft 4 or Starcraft 3 General Discussion forums- it only works for Diablo. And not beyond Diablo VI either. Finally, the Diablo III, IV, V and VI forums have page titles and headings that use the Roman numerals- not the same Arabic ones in the URLs. This was obviously set up deliberately.

I'm thinking it's a glitch. I remember when I posted something about KOFMI2 having a whole slew of possible extra characters when I typed in characters that were not yet announced. I was wrong.

[BlackKnight]

Yeh but like I said someone must have defined these forum names manually- if it was an automatic thing, they wouldn't use 'III', for instance, it would use '3'. Also, it only works upto 6, and not on the Warcraft or Starcraft boards.

Even there would be a possible D3, what is it about this penguin and "Lich King" ish splash page?

As for the penguin, who knows. But to the Lich King part, this is a bit extreme of a tease to simply be for a Wrath release date isn't it?

Aye, this making me wondering. Obviously they're gonna teaser more than 1 game. For the icey splash, it wouldn't make much sense having only D3 in it. As far I kept track to the news, there are several runes of different franchises. Diablo only one of it.

Well, it's getting interesting. But slowly it starts looking little wierd to me.

The ice could be a reference to 'Hell freezing over' or just to Blizzard. The pentagram arrangement hints strongly toward Diablo though.
