Blizzard.com teases everyone with new splash page
Filed under: Fantasy, News items, Rumors
Then again, as far as we know Blizzard has never teased us about a release date. So if you want to start making your wild guesses now, that piece of information is a good place to start. If it's not WotLK-related, our second guess would be an announcement that Diablo 3 is being "thawed out" for everyone in the near future. Yeah, we know it's a (lame) stretch -- but that's half the fun of it!
Update: After some poking around, we've discovered something interesting. Out of all the Blizzard websites, diablo.com is the only one that points our browsers to this splash page. Simple coincidence or subtle hint? We'll let you guys be the judge.
Update 2: Apparently diablo.com has pointed to blizzard.com for a while now. It looks like simple coincidence is much more likely in this scenario.

There's a symbol in the middle left of the picture. I havn't played a blizzard game since starcraft was new, so I don't recognize it.

Nothing I remember from any Blizzard game. It vaguely reminds me of the "crop circles" in Nagrand around the crashed ship. (forget the name)

Well the CSS file contains names like "tundra" and "icefield" and one of the commented out images is this (I have no idea what it is):

Most likely WotLK related. Looks like ice. With Wrath and Starcraft 2 on the horizon, I can't see them having a third project to announce yet and having three games to be on the horizon.

www.warcraft2.com also forwards thru to www.blizzard.com
My guess is that the blizzard websites that serve no more purpose link to there. Sorry, peeps: like my friend said, the link with all that ice at the end means "Blizzard will make Diablo 3 when hell freezes over". =(
Hellgate London was sort of Diablo 3, but man did that disappoint.

Interesting page.
It might be Diablo III. That will be a downer. I already knew they were making it. Not much of an announcement...
