Blizzard Acquires Diablo 3 Domain Name

(Beijing Erimat Network Information Technology Co.,Ltd)It took nearly ten years for Blizzard to announce the sequel to the popular StarCraft. Could the long-rumored sequel to the

equally well-regarded Diablo also be in the offing?
Diablo3.com and I-Mockery.com owner Roger "Mockery" Barr recently announced that Blizzard had contacted him about acquiring

their domain name. Blizzard appreciated the site's contributions to the Diablo fan community, Barr said, but Blizzard still

wanted the domain. He also said that the site wasn't going anywhere, but would be soon changing its name to Diablofans.com.

In acquiring the domain from Barr, Blizzard cautioned that their interest in the domain name shouldn't be considered an

announcement for Diablo 3. "They acquire new domains all the time," Barr said. However, he went on to say that he didn't

think that Blizzard was merely protecting its intellectual properties, and that he believed that Diablo 3 was now in

development.

Diablo fans have been waiting for a sequel to the bestselling Diablo 2 since the Lord of Destruction expansion pack was

released in June 2001, marking nearly seven years so far between Diablo titles. However, Blizzard is known to hold off on

announcing new games until they are well into development. WarCraft 3: The Frozen Throne was released in 2004.

Any potential announcement would most likely be at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational event in Paris on June 28th and June

29th. Until then, Diablo fans will have to sit tight a little longer before they can take on the Great Evils once more.
