I Hate Blizzard!
2005-10-07, 3:58 AM #1
I Looooove Blizzard! (refresh several times)

Something is going to happen today. Looks like it has something to do with WarCraft and StarCraft.
Perhaps they are announcing the WoW-Addon and StarCraft 2.

[Edit: Looks like there is also a Diablo-pic...]

Wiat a minute... since when do the Zerg have a human-like eye? I thought their eye was one solid color.

Anyways, this sounds like it could be a something really good.
No sig.

oh and if you keep hitting refresh i got to a pic that instead of the date shows ".999_ = 1"
Mmmm.

These are the pictures the flash-file loads:

http://www.battle.net/images/splash_zerg.jpg
http://www.battle.net/images/splash_terran.jpg
http://www.battle.net/images/splash_diablo.jpg
and http://www.battle.net/images/splash_9.jpg

The .999_ = 1 thing is only on the undead picture. Perhaps that means that it has only something to do with WarCraft.

Blizzard has participated vigorously in 0.9 repeating = 1 discussions on their message boards many times.
2005-10-07, 6:55 AM #8
Yeah, they even made an Aprils fools joke out of it, because this question kept arising again and again on their forums: http://www.blizzard.com/press/040401.shtml

Umm...Diablo III was already announced. Like a while ago.

http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/diablo-iii/

http://pc.ign.com/objects/714/714955.html

[EDIT:] Damn game sources. I looked further and noticed it's not officially announced. My bad.
2005-10-07, 9:34 AM #16
Dreams don't count :p

proof, please.

[Edit] Nevermind

[Editx2] IGN doesn't count, because Blizzard never officially announced it, it's more of a rumor that is lingering around. (Notice there are no links to the confirming announcement?) But we still can hope.

I also read on a German forum from guys that actually called Blizzard that they said that it was going to be something really big.
This thread if anyone is interested in it. I'm too lazy to look up the exact posting, but it was on the first pages. Or just call Blizzard yourself and post your results.

EDIT: And the Zerg do have a solid color eye, it's just the battle.net logo over it.

On a diablo forum the blue posts said the numbers might not have to do with the date.

I HIGHLY doubt that it's to mark a new ladder season :P

Starcraft 2 has a lot to live up to, that's probably why it's being delayed time and time again. They won't announce it until they think they can pull it off.
Sneaky sneaks. I'm actually a werewolf. Woof.
2005-10-07, 3:03 PM #22
Or until it's sodding done.

That would be cruel.

I wouldn't consider them comparable at all, since diablo is a completely different game to warcraft and starcraft.

That said, screw warcraft and starcraft, diablo rocks.
