Diablo III May 1st Announcement

Hoax. Links to Blizzard talking about this? Otherwise I'll be saying told you so. Maybe they will annouce it at WWI but this is just a great forum move. Blizzard is the only official site, they don't need Diablo2.com or starcraft.com.
fail.

Do they even have those domains?

i can confidently say i think thats bogus. as kaneda said why would they use any domains other than blizzard.com/battle.net for their games when they dont have to.

They use Starcraft2.com and worldofwarcraft.com. They seem to be headed in the direction of having specific domains for each of their games.

I would imagine it's easier for them to operate solely with each individual game. As you've got to figure Worldofwarcraft.com probably gets a shit load of traffic, and if you were to combine it with diablo2, and starcraft as well as whatever other crap Blizzard floats around you'd have a server cluster fuck and plenty of downtime. If they individualize each game to meet the certain needs and bandwidth usage they don't have to worry about a clusterfuck, that's why.

Agreed. As it is World of Warcraft is often times laggy if not inoperable when there is any sort of server shut down. It's obvious they could do them all from the same site but it'd be more tedious for the consumer.

Hmm I suppose. I just figured since they didn't do diablo2.com and starcraft.com. Although those (aside from warcraft 1/2) really kinda "started" Blizzards new era.
