World of Diablo™

Update (June 28): Diablo 3 has been announced at the WWI in Paris. You can now review the Diablo 3 trailer, screenshots, as well as demo.

Paul Sams - Blizzard COO speaks on DiabloWhen Paul Sams discussed extensions to the Diablo and Starcraft universes, he said that:

Some other companies get into the role of making just MMOs, but Blizzard lets the developers pick what they want to work on, and it’s not all MMOs…

This has fueled hopes that Diablo 3 might not be a MMO after all.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that World of Diablo is already registered as a trademark! I did a trademark search and here’s the result:

IC 009. US 021 023 026 036 038. G & S: Computer game software. FIRST USE: 20060715. FIRST USE IN COMMERCE: 20060715 IC 041. US 100 101 107. G & S: Entertainment services, namely, providing an on-line computer game. FIRST USE: 20060715. FIRST USE IN COMMERCE: 20060715″ as the use and “(APPLICANT) GENERAL COMPUTERS, INC. CORPORATION NEVADA 606 JOHNSON AVENUE, SUITE 18 BOHEMIA NEW YORK 11716

From what I can tell General Computers are a Chinese company with offices in the US (or it’s the other way around). They are coming out with a MMO called Twilight War : After the Fall.

I’m not sure HOW they have secured World of Diablo but it seems pretty obvious they plan to use it for a MMO. It could explain why Blizzard started buying all the Diablo 3 domains they could find!

    Sure, it could be the name of a new MMO, although I think it’s more probable that it’s the name of a new Battle.net thing for Diablo 3. Atleast I hope so, I really wan’t to be able to play D3 single :)

    I absolutely love the diablo series of games… I’ve read all the books and loved them. The diablo story line is concrete and opens many posibilities for movies and hopefully a “Diablo 3″!
    Long live blizzard entertainment!!!

    I would love to see a Diablo 3 but they’d better not mess it up. TBH I’d like to see a “World of Diablo” getting more subscribers than WoW just to piss off WoW lovers!

    diablo 3 will be out in late 2009 may be monthly fee duno but it will be good

  17. 17 Lemonz Apr 12th, 2008 at 6:24 pm

    They better not make a fucking Diablo MMOG, I mean… Come on, I’m subscribed to WoW at the moment… Sure, brilliant game, but I know that if they make a Diablo MMO, that they will put monthly fees on it. I just want to be able to get Diablo III when it comes out, play it both online and offline (hopefully with character transfer this time & no character expiration dates xP). But anyway… If you guys want a Diablo MMO, then just hope for some special internet features in the Battle.Net part… I can tell you now, Diablo would suck as an MMO, stick to good ol’ RPG! A good example of what I’m talking about is Neverwinter Nights… If any of you have ever played that, it has a feature where you can join hosted servers online, import your offline character onto them and play with other people. I wouldn’t mind that on Diablo III. But come on guys, have a think over… Would you want to be paying £9 / $18+ a month just to play what used to be a free to play game? I just want to buy the game, sure, even if I have to pay £40-£50 / $80-$100, I’d still buy it. Just no monthly fees, keep Diablo the good game it’s always been, also keep the great story line, that’s probably one of the best things about it… The unforgettable story line. Thanks for reading guys =D

    If You Look at http://www.blizzard.com/us/jobopp/
    You will find that they are looking for designers for a top secret project(known as Hydra). I believe it will be a diablo mmorpg. The opportunities almost all begin with a “Blizzard Entertainment, the developer of Diablo and Diablo II, is looking for a..”. It’s not Star craft because a lot of the applications ask for a foundation in traditional arts and natural environment (ruling out Star craft)

    World Of Diablo is coming

  19. 19 travis Jul 9th, 2008 at 6:44 pm

    ok so the world of diablo sounds fimilar to other gamess u have out?? like world of warcraft?? surprised that starcraft is not called world of starcraft lol but nyway for world of diablo is it free gameing or is it like the other ones that u have to pay 30$ a month some people that love this game cant afford it.. but i watched the demos of it and its pretty well built ive been playing blizzard games for awhile and all the games you uys caame out with are amazing. congrats and thank you.

    Diablo 3 is coming. It’s going to be single player and it will also have online play (battle.net)

    To Lemonz. You obviously haven’t thought this through. I possible Diablo MMO would have ZERO competition. Only THQ’s Titan Quest has delved into the ARPG genre (did quite well I believe), however.. it was overshadowed by the overwhelming success of Diablo and didn’t make as much money as it deserved. This mean that a Diablo MMO is going to be a huge hit. It wouldn’t even be worth the time to debate, if Blizzard makes a Diablo MMO, it will rake in more subscribers and more money than WoW.

    Yes, millions upon millions of people would pay $15-$20 a month to play a Diablo MMO. A game will a real PvP mindset, a huge world of superspawning creatures to hack and slash through with your buddies and a thousand other players. Full with professions and a wide array of balanced classes. A way to sell and buy your randomly generated loot, other than joining server after server to finally find the missing piece to your powerword, only in hopes that they actually need something that you have in trade. A seemless isometric world would work just as well as your generic 3rd person 3D world. You obviously don’t know much about Diablo fans if you don’t think people would pay for this.

    I’ve been hoping for a the first hack and slash MMO to released. By anyone! And if Blizzard could do it right, I’d be even happier knowing that it’s a Diablo game. It’s the next logical step. They did it with Warcraft. They’ll do it with Diablo. Then after someone shows that they can make a half decent space MMO, they’ll take that companies successes and create a Starcraft MMO.

    Activision really leaves me wondering though, it kind of throws a monkey wrench into Blizzard staying with their IP’s.. or maybe not.

    lol diablo+3 = world of warcraft is nub. I think we should al play Runescape and get the fire cape just for the hel of it.
    Guild wars always has fun playing with fly for fun because it is for 1337 people loikoe 0ld p30pl3 who play knight online and K quest (KNIGHT QUEST)

    BUT THE BEST GAME OUT AT THE MOMENT WOULD HAVE TO BE DIABLO THE ORIGINAL WHERE IT IS ONLY 8 MB OF RAM TO PLAY LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOOLOLOLLPOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. POOOOO HEAD

    BTW WORLD OF WARCRAFT IS SHIT U FUCKING NUB SUICIDAL PRICKS
