Wtf, a "W" ?

Maybe I'm just tired and I can't think of something obvious, but what is the W for?

So we've got:

DW
_O

In terms of the runes: http://www.diabloii.net/gallery/data/539/rune3-protoss.jpg
That rune seems to indicate the Starcraft Franchise, a second rune has been suggested to be one from the Deathknight's Sword and we've got the Hel Rune. It's entirely possible it's just representing each of their existing franchises.

One of my prayers was answered when SC2 was announced - and now I pray that Diablo 3 gets delivered.

Re: Splash

In a question and answer session that concluded this year's GDC Paris, Pardo was asked directly if he could talk more about "the new game" that rumours have strongly suggested will be Diablo 3.

"So you want me to announce the game before our announcement?" he said. "No offense, but I think there's like 300 people here, and I'll be ripped apart by 8000 people there [at the Invitational] if I pre-announce it - but it's going to be really exciting. I think everybody here will be really excited about the announcement."

Re: Splash

May I add a little Information, which you could maybe add to the news, which makes the fact that Diablo 3 is coming, even more sure?

Here it is:

You know this famous image of Diablo? Done by Michael Dashow. His Homepage has a Walross as a Logo, its his "Icon" if you will.
Now look at this, if one compares that secretly hidden image at the splash-screen with his logo (as he was the leading artist of diablo) one suddenly sees this:

http://wow.gamona.de/images/teaser_news/large/teaser_wwi_2008_dashow_01_L.jpg

Interesting huh? I think it is quite clear now.
+
Another interesting bit of information:
The most famous German FanSite wow.gamona.de and diabloii.net say that Information leaked from  IncGamers and save sources from the industry that, indeed, Diablo 3 will be anounced on the WWI.

EDIT: I didn't write that I took it from MMO Champ, which explains the poor English.  Still a neat find.

Re: Splash

World of Star-Diablo craft.

If it's diablo 3 I would be pretty excited too, especially since I never joined the D2 community until long after it was over.

Well knows he who uses to consider, that our faith and knowledge thrives by exercise, as well as our limbs and complexion. Truth is compared in Scripture to a streaming fountain; if her waters flow not in a perpetual progression, they sicken into a muddy pool of conformity and tradition. A man may be a heretic in the truth; and if he believe things only because his pastor says so, or the Assembly so determines, without knowing other reason, though his belief be true, yet the very truth he holds becomes his heresy.

Re: Splash

Dashow fits the D O W so far.  So I guess it will be a six tile image, and not a four?

Good catch.
And yes, given that there were six days to fill total, we are all assuming there will be six images. tongue

Re: Splash

Hm, didn't notice this thread.

The numbers are Blizzard fucking with us.  They're the Lost numbers.  (Expect 8 tomorrow and 42 on Saturday.)

Also, the "purple walrus" thing was always a real stretch.  That doesn't really look anything like a walrus, aside from being large and purple (which should be much more apparent with today's piece).

Re: Splash

Seems to be some sort of purple penguin. Defenitely not part of any existing blizzard universe...

Re: Splash

Clearly it's a new Lost Vikings game.

- They're using the "Lost" numbers, which clearly points to "Lost Vikings"
- The splash screens are full of ice and runes...vikings lived in icy places, and used runes
- The project's codename is reportedly "hydra".  In past Blizzard games, hydras have had three heads, while The Lost Vikings was a game about controlling three characters simultaneously
- The hidden image depicts a purple penguin, which is clearly related to vikings somehow
