Well, doubt it would be D3. I think D3 would cause blizzard to lose more WoW subscriptions from people going over to D3 than if it was a RTS or FPS type game and Blizzard seems to have good buisness sense.

A WC3 type engine with Diablo would be nice though. If it had a frenzy pace to it.

edit: and you could also say that with wc3. so i dunno, but i don't think they are getting any more revenue off of wc3. does blizzard still make money off of sc and wc??

Why not? If they did in fact announce another MMO it probably wouldn't be out for another, what, 2 years? Maybe 3? By that time WoW will have lost a lot of players. Announcing a new MMO may even keep people playing WoW longer just because they have the next big Blizzard MMO waiting for them to play.

Personally I'm hoping it's SC2, and I'm hoping it is indeed an RTS. Guess we just have to wait a few more days ><

For some reason, the text highlight did not progress from Diablo to Starcraft. Hmmm...alright, it's D3

I think its because the timeline is a seperate picture.

Whats funny though is that the timeline is just timeline.jpg and doesn't have a numbering like the splash (dayX.jpg).

here's a thought. under '1998' it looks like a hydralisk, and if u think and look closely the background bright areas look like beams of light, and if so are beaming because something is in front of them. For example the moon or sun, perhaps under it the shape is the start of a '2'

just supporting a-game's post :O

warcraft 4 wouldnt be so bad but ffs have a deccent ladder system whatever is made!

From Starcraft Legacy:
GameSpy had an exclusive interview with Blizzard VP Bill Roper about StarCraft: Ghost. One particular question will catch your attention, and that is regarding StarCraft 2:
GS: One the GameSpy message boards, as well as the Blizzard message boards, you’ve been getting strong reactions from PC gamers about Ghost. Many are screaming things like, "Why are you abandoning us?!?" What’s your response to this? Is there anything you want to say to PC gamers to try and assuage them?

BR: We’ve definitely seen a lot of comments from PC gamers concerned that we’re abandoning PC gaming. I think that the important thing to remember is that even though we are a relatively small company, we do have enough teams to work on more than one product at a time. We were working on World of Warcraft at the same time we were working on Warcraft III. One of the reasons we wanted to do a joint development with Nihilistic is that we didn’t have enough people on our own to do a big console game. I guess the important thing to remember is that one project doesn’t necessarily impact another.

So the work on StarCraft: Ghost doesn’t impact the World of Warcraft team. It doesn’t impact what the Warcraft III team is doing next. It doesn’t preclude us from doing anything else in the StarCraft universe. We certainly don’t see StarCraft: Ghost as being something that replaced StarCraft II. It’s just as likely that StarCraft II will be released at the same time as Ghost.We had two Warcraft teams working at the same time. I think it’s a difficult thing to look at. We even see big assumptions based on our web site. We’ll pull something off and people will go, "Oh my God, they pulled material from the web site. Now the game is being delayed!"

Hehe, as a programmer I was sure I had covered all that, deleting everything in setting a.s.o., and then refreshing. But the only thing IE6 accepted to reload the timeline was ctrl-f5
