Blizz "3rd Team" title upcoming..

How many years did we wait from WC2 to WC3? Then for SC1 to SC2?

Blizzard is decidedly slow on releasing games, although they've all been very good releases.

I'm supposing either they're really slow at developing games/or they might be trying to bring in some next generation gamers, the little kid gamers and a whole new group/community to buy their products, because after all, they have most of us origional players still on board, why waste precious material when you can spread it out, and sell even more.


You've gotta figure, they're up to 8 Million subscribers now.. which is horribly large.

8,000,000 * $15 a month = $120,000,000 a month.. Yeah, their electic bill is geting paid...

I read something a while ago about Richard A Knaak saying that blizzard is using the Sin War trilogy as a storyline for something. He wouldn't say what but at the time the site was speculating about a possible movie. I think it is very possible that the story line for D3 will be in the past rather than a sequel to D2 LOD. I can't remember but are there actually more than 3 prime evils or is it just diablo, baal, and mephisto. I'm probably confusing something else I read about 7 prime evils but I can't remember honestly.

I suppose we will just have to wait for blizz con like we had to wait for the Korea Announcement for SC2. In the mean time I will dwell on Warhammer... lol.

There are 3 Prime Evils, and 3 Lesser Evils.
Primes were:
Diablo
Baal
Mephisto

Lessers were:
Andariel
Duriel
Belial
some other dude

I wouldn't be opposed to D3 being in the past, but it doesn't really feel like a progressive series that way.

The past of the Diablo story was in.... Diablo 1, and before that there wasn't any problems until the 'Evils' started to emerge, that's where the rest of the stories came from... So I really don't see how the story could go into prequel mode, i'd much rather have it progress, like you mentioned vollvs.

There are stories from before Diablo 1.

If anyone has Diablo 1 for playstation(I do), you can listen to a bunch of stories on there. There's a whole section on the CD that has stories about the prime evils and hell and etc. Even though the game sucks, there's a LOT of information there.

Ive only read the first sin war book but demons like lilith are around at that point so I guess we could be fighting the sons/daughters of the prime evils. I can't remember the demon that got wtf pwnt at the end of the first book though... I think it might of been meph's son. I believe lilith is his daughter.

I doubt they'd use that material though to make another game, but who knows, blizzard loves suprising their customers. I mean hell, Blizzcon is only a week away, so i'm sure we will find out soon enough
