@gaijira:
Considering the official site doesn't even have ANY zerg units on display, it's pretty safe to assume they've got a lot of stuff left to do.

Even after all the units are made, Blizzard does months and months of game balancing, as with the previous SC and WC games.

Plus there's the campaign maps to make, which is pretty hard to do if all the units aren't finished.

@Pezdispenser: @r0bVious:

Diablo and Hellgate are not persistent. That is what makes an MMO an MMO. Otherwise it is simply multiplayer.

Anyone else bummed out that this almost assuredly means no Stacraft 2 and no Wrath of the Lich King until at least late summer? I was hoping for a surprise spring release for SC2.

On the up side...Worlds of Starcraft! Maybe! Please Bliz...?

Seeing as the event is a few months off I wouldn't be surprised to hear about the new MMO. On the other hand it wasn't that long ago since they announced Starcraft 2 so they might want to wait a bit.

Since some people misunderstood -> it's invitational, because the competing players are invited(instead of having qualification rounds), not the attendees.

@Irenicus-the one and only: Agreed, having to play online always killed WoW for me. Me and my mates are back to Diablo 2 now, and we hadn't played that since it first came out. Strangely enough, WoW got us into Diablo 2 :P

We already have a Diablo MMO (Moo?), it's called Hellgate: London. :D

@r0bVious: Yep, and WoW is Diablo 3's spiritual successor, diablo 1=offline 2=online 3=WoW (mmo)

But I want a diablo where I can progress and play on my own and doing so offline. But maybe thats just me.

Pombar — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 09:47:01 MST

Diablo 2 is just pseudo-WoW. It'd be impressive for them to build an MMO out of it that's in any way significantly different to WoW. Though I suppose it could just be console exclusive so that the two games don't compete directly.

@Irenicus-the one and only: Dude. Diablo IS an MMO. It has all the makings of it. All they have to do is take Diablo 2, make the social aspect a little bigger... and you have World of Diablocraft.

@ArgentAngel: Just do an agent 47 and kill one of the security team, nick his clothes get unlimited access to the event! It's easy! The fact that the security guard is French should make it just that little bit easier.

I'm going to be in France at the time of this invitational.

Stupid Question: How would one go about getting INTO this invitational?

Note: I'm just a normal student with no crazy press release anything.

@Setzer IIDX: I would love a new Diablo but not in the shape of an MMO. A Star Craft MMO on the other hand, that might get me to buy into a new waste of my life hobby.
