Blizzard has enough cash and even more flowing in from WoW that they can pretty much publish at any pace they want. See Starcraft -> Starcraft 2 for example. I'd rather see sequels at a slow pace, but with good quality, than EA-styled "Let's crank out another mediocre sequel every 12 months".

considering that the online ARPG market is pretty much deserted a sequel at least as fun as D2 would be more enjoyable than nothing

Hmm..not to pop anyone's bubble..but uh..

PC Gamer has also annouced that Kotor III was in the works... along time ago....they have also hinted at The Legend that is Duke Nukem Forever being released...

Until Blizzard says "we are making Diablo III" will I even take this into consider it, and until it is on the SHELVES will I believe in its existance.

They just don't want to screw it up.
This is why it's taking so long.

Rumors are that they scrapped a D3 build a few years ago because it wasn't "Blizzard" worthy. Also, Blizzard North closing didn't help.

Does anyone know of a recent ARPG that is better than Diablo 2 still is? One that defintely qualifies (where I would say something like Guild wars is a RPG) as ARPG?

My point to this question is if this forum, one of the biggest group of d2 fans there is, D3 is defintely something blizzard will want to put time and effort into. someone saying this is a "cash cow" is exactly right especially if nothing has topped the market since D2 was released almost 10 years ago!

So if someone has any thoughts id like to hear em
