What the...?! Blizzard buying Diablo 4 domains

Playfuls.com: "Blizzard has recently registered www.diablo4.it, www.diablo4.fr, www.diablo4.eu, and www.diablo4.es. While I agree that considering a Diablo 4 game now is a bit far-fetched without a Diablo 3 arriving first, I cannot help thinking that it's for this reason (the acquisition of the Diablo 4 domains) that our almost-dead hopes for a more-sooner-than-later sequel of the Godfather of all RPGs should revive now. Not to mention that Blizzard is already in possession of a plethora of Diablo 3 related domains on the Web (www.diablo3.eu, www.diablo3.fr or www.diablo3.co.uk)."

Its probally no more than the fact that they don't want anyone to nab that url in the future

[dilibau]

Hey I just want the damn(ed) Diablo 3 out and I'm fine!! If this Blizzardian domain-acquisition spree means that they'll AT LEAST bring D3 out, I'll sell them my Diablo 5, 6 and 7 domains for nothing ;)

[f7ss1]

this pretty much has to garuntee we'll get a diablo 3 sometime, am i right?

[JsonHenry]

Sweet! I am getting all giddy just thinking about playing a new Diablo game!

[shotputking]

blizzard has owned the diablo 3 urls for 6 or 7 years now... and look at how much fun we're all having with diablo 3.

[Regret]

Godfather of all RPGs? Rofl.

[MK_Red]

Diablo rocks but when did it become "Godfather of all RPGs"!? Diablo is a superb action RPG but it's nothing compared to really deep classics like Fallout, Baldur's Gate and such.

Anyway, it's good to hear some Diablo related news.

[ParaDise_LosT]

Diablo 2 is the game that introduced its gender and made it !H U G E!
Its like the Halo of PC RPG, may not be the best out there but its one of the most iconic and memorable game.....

+ Its as addicting as crack

[Silellak]

Seriously, anyone calling Diablo the "Godfather of all RPGs" is simultaneously insulting the RPG genre and showing their lack of knowledge of video game history.

And this is coming from someone who LOVED Diablo 2.

[Relcom]

But honestly, Baldur's Gate is the game i have notice that almost all games have stolen something from it. I would say Baldur's Gate it the GF of RPG's.

Diablo still owns though ;)

[Jinxstar]

I think they are just going off sheer popularity MK. Diablo probably sold more then Fallout and BG combined. Very successful. Maybe not as good as others but thats opinion.

[Regret]

There's like 30 better RPGs than Diablo.

[undacovabrothe]

The Father as the starter/creater/First to be best/ sort of title. Its far from best now I actually hate it know you cant play it more than 2 years or its just total boredom completely repetitive. I hope diablo 3 is more of a mmorpg.

[Torkith]

but Blizzard already owns a ton of other urls, I believe they include Warcraft4 and Starcraft3 already.

[Tarmgar]

That means these games are a certainty. As to when they actually come....could be years from now :(.

[Relientk77]

the Diablo series is the SH!T !!!!!... I cannot wait for Diablo 3

[xsteinbachx]

who needs to create a new game when you can just create sequels.

[Leord]

Well, timely fashion indeed. They might just have decided that they are in fact making a sequel to Diablo 3, that they are going to reveal in June WWI 2008 ;)
