I really dont think it will be too long before this comes out. Late 2009 is my guess and i think they have been working on it for some time now.

They were working on it back when Blizzard North was around.

Could still be a long time. My guess is 2010 as said above.

Wasn't there something like a 4 year wait between the announcement and release of Diablo II?

"Diablo III has been in development for about four years, and now has a team of 50-55 developers dedicated to it, according to Jay Wilson, the game's lead designer. The game will offer drop-in / drop-out co-op play over Battle.Net throughout; while it will be doable as a solo player, gamers will be able to bring friends in at any stage"

friend just quoted this to me

Ermm, you basically said what Diablo 2 is and its not an MMO?

An MMO is something were you play with thousands of other people at once. D2 and D3 don't do this.

Except you don't pay a monthly sub for Diablo2/BattleNet, do you?

I seriously would doubt that investors would allow 1.5 more years of 50+ "developers" (assuming that's including project management and testers).

If it's a US based development they'd need to shift a considerable number to recover the costs. I suppose it depends on how well APAC pick it up as they did with WoW.. however that's a bit like going for your own market share too..

Might be sooner than we think then if that's the case. All depends really.

Not sure.

Summer '09 is my guess, not due to development, but due to marketing strategy.

I noticed that earlier. I was just posting a question in it, asking if it'll have a monthly subscrition or not, and I was told "Sorry, this thread is locked" when I hit "Submit"!

It's not an MMO is it? Why would it have a sub? Did D2 have one? (never played it so *shrugs*)

Aye, I thought so - used to play WC3 quite a lot of battle.net

Good times.
