Well it turns there is some news today after all!

The past couple of weeks both Blizzplanet and Diablo3.com have been running this countdown. At first I thought, as did others, it was just a publicity stunt. Although I also had a thought it was something else entirely, though I’m sure we’ll see that from Blizzard soon.

Anyway it turns out that Diablo3.com had agreed to transfer ownership of the domain to Blizzard itself. You can read all the info on it at their new location www.diablofans.com. Blizzard has been snatching up a great many Diablo3 related domains, however the .com one, the main one, eluded their grasp, so to say.

Over the years, Diablo3.com had turned into a community fansite surrounding the Diablo Series, so Blizzard couldn’t really just pickup the domain that easily.

No worries though. To me this is just one more sign that Diablo III is on the horizon, if not at WWI, then soon. To bad that Blizzard specifically said that this should be no indication that Diablo III has been announced or anything, but it gives me hope, after all why bother acquiring a domain to a game you’re not interested in pursuing?

I know d2p seems pretty slow, but there just is so little Diablo News we can report on here, and as people move on to newer, more addictive games, people lose interest in Diablo. However I’m sure we’ll see a D3 soon, at least in Blizzard’s definition of the term.
