Glitch or Easter Egg? Look at the URLs, but consider that you cannot do this to access Warcraft 4 or Starcraft 3 General Discussion forums- it only works for Diablo. And not beyond Diablo VI either. Finally, the Diablo III, IV, V and VI forums have page titles and headings that use the Roman numerals- not the same Arabic ones in the URLs. This was obviously set up deliberately.

I'm thinking it's a glitch. I remember when I posted something about KOFMI2 having a whole slew of possible extra characters when I typed in characters that were not yet announced. I was wrong.

[BlackKnight]

Yeh but like I said someone must have defined these forum names manually- if it was an automatic thing, they wouldn't use 'III', for instance, it would use '3'. Also, it only works upto 6, and not on the Warcraft or Starcraft boards.

Even there would be a possible D3, what is it about this penguin and "Lich King" ish splash page?

As for the penguin, who knows. But to the Lich King part, this is a bit extreme of a tease to simply be for a Wrath release date isn't it?

Aye, this making me wondering. Obviously they're gonna teaser more than 1 game. For the icey splash, it wouldn't make much sense having only D3 in it. As far I kept track to the news, there are several runes of different franchises. Diablo only one of it.

Well, it's getting interesting. But slowly it starts looking little wierd to me.

[BlackKnight]

The ice could be a reference to 'Hell freezing over' or just to Blizzard. The pentagram arrangement hints strongly toward Diablo though.

[BlackKnight]

Similarity? or Difference?

 

[Wishdokta]

Thought about that, too. But honestly I'd be surprised if THE fantasy game developer would create that simliar characters. Am guessing it's Lich King and there will be more, or: New franchise? Diablo "out the ice age" ? (people were thinking about that, since the splash showed this 'steaminess' a time ago)

We'll see. Am little stuck with it, and curious for the next days.

 

(in the end it's a character of Lost Vikings or a new vilain from RRR *just kiddin* )

Day 6

 

The pentagram is marked out, and quite frankly reminds me of the portal to Tristram, although I'm not terribly convinced the announcement will be related to Diablo anymore... Check the glyph in the top of the ice.

 

In any case the WWI Opening Ceremony will be streamed live from Paris in 3 hours- we should have an answer one way or another soon. For reference, Starcraft II was announced at 3pm at the last WWI, after the Opening Ceremony began at 2pm.

[Lucandrake]

[BlackKnight]
