Thats a nice baator map. Trippy, but honestly it won't matter till it's in the trucks on their way to me.
The fact that I can recognise runes just by looking at them is also amusing. If they're revealing the "lost runewords" as a 1-2, that would be kind of neat. Shael-Hel-?
Did they release a date yet for wotlk? If not thats my bet, the color scheme suggests it... although i wish it was diablo III.
Lost Vikings? Now you're just trying to get my hopes up. ... but seriously, as much as I'd go into a state of glorious shock if it is indeed Diablo 3, I'm thinking it's probably more than likely something to do with Wrath of the Lich King
I've been playing Diablo 2 regularly for the last 3 months or so. Even though it's so old. Hmm. Starting to get impressively high-end stuff on USEast too... But really, if it is WotLK, I am curious to know why that watermark looks like a Hel rune inscription to the last detail.
I'm fairly certain its WotLK because if you look at the color and brightness scheme on the image as well as the way the artist drew the stone and then compare it to the bottom of the image of Arthas on the WotLK page (where the blade of the sword has entered the stone) you will see that they look nearly identical.
Yea, WotLK spurred me to level more. Thus, WoW. Finally got to 55. Death Knight for me, yaaay! /offtopic
Could just be a promo for the new WoW expansion. But I hope I am wrong and it is D3. Or some other cool SC announcement.
Why would they go through all this trouble for something we already know about? Blizzard reserves this stuff for announcements we DON'T know about. "Here's some crazy shit to get you all going about a game everyone and they're dog knows about". Why doesn't Bungie start some viral promotion for Halo 3 while they're at it... Not to mention I haven't added everything I have found yet. People have been pointing to the Ninth Circle of Hell as an idea, which in Greek Mythology is a frozen lake in which Lucifer (Diablo) is imprisoned.
or..it can just be a cool design based off the diablo series, i think ur taking this all way out of context. TO the fact that you even spotted that and made the connection is ridiculous (in a good way). I say just let things unfold, like the communist said it could just be a WoW expansion promo, but hopefully it is D-3
Something else after looking at Monday's image and then Tuesdays...The space in the middle is opened further...Possibly that the ice will break apart on announcement day.
That's what I figured was gonna happen. I trust Pdogs judgment hes the gaming info god! If he predicts D3 ill willing to bet on that also.
I hope its not, cuz then i can spam forums saying "LOL told you so!" Even though i rly didnt say "told you so!"
Just an Fyi, they have never done a promo/teaser for any expansion at all. The only time they have ever done a promo/teaser thing, was for a new game, and some of the big websites, slipped up and put that blizz is announcing a new game at WWI which is going on this week. So more than likely it is D3.
Wonder what the next rune will be. There may not be a pattern to them, but if there is I suspect it will either be a strange "sentence" from runes or trying to spell out a word. The commonly accepted first rune is a Shael; I wish I could be so sure, because it isn't a particularly good match (but, that said, I don't think any of the other runes are better). The second is Hel beyond all doubt. Two things I can possibly think of: 1) The first letter of each word might spell something out - so S-H-? 2) The number of each rune, taken as an index into the alphabet, might spell something out (13-15-? = M-O-?). Neither doesn't look like it could form a word, so hmm. Of course, the sequence may not be chronological, especially if the symbols start to form a pattern (such as a circle). The images being linked in the CSS file certainly don't seem chronological. We shall see. It's not something that one really needs to care about but I find it at least somewhat interesting, so I shall keep an eye on it.
Aww, thanks Commy! Also, if you look closely, you can see a big 3 near the right side of the image. It's kinda chiseled into the ice. My classmate also played with the image and found 3 small images that look like arrows that point to the 3 prongs of the "3". I'll post the image when I acquire it off my key, which I think is at school. I'll post it with the new info released tomorrow.
