    Yay...according to DailyTech, Blizzard is working on a new one. I hope it is for the PC!

    This is the first hint I've heard, just thought I should share!

    Note the original team behind D1 and D2 are gone, so it'll be interesting how the next one will be like...

    I hope the single player is as entertaining as before. Does anyone know if this is going to be a predominantly multiplayer or a singleplayer game? Some of us suck at videogames and need good single player games to make us feel better... haha

    Man I used to play Diablo II sooo much. I really like the diablo series because they appeal to both casual gamers as well as powergamers. I remember I sold a few D2 items on ebay back in the day.

    It is about time!
    Man I have been waiting for this day ever since i beat D2. I really hope it will be like the other two, meaning great single player, billions of items, and interesting and diverse classes.

    These new guys were probably Diablo junkies anyways so they know exactly how the game works :D . I'd kind of like to see it go in a little different direction. Longer story, harder to beat. Never have been a big fan of runs. Fun every now and then, but I'd rather get story than power leveling.

    Another D2 title would be surperb. It'd have sweet graphics, as D2 gfx look like crud now.

    Id rather see a new starcraft game, but shrugs

    True but it was still good enough to play and offered good quality playing time

    Thats exactly what I think they're going to do with this. I bet it'll just be another WoW clone.

    I don't mind hah, I enjoy WoW to a certain extent.

    I loved D2 and I loved how they implimented D1 storylines and unique 'things' into the D2 plot.

    Then there was the easter eggs as well!

    Then in WoW, there were so many D1/D2 references and other stuff, that was great :D
