Blizzard Registers "Project Blackstone" Domaine

[Grummgug]

This I like made me laugh.

Blizzard has said Titan will not compete with WoW. They are very different games. I expect its more like Farmville honestly.

I dunno if titan will be a true mmo as we understand the term as much as something akin to Farmville. I mean, Blizzard is looking to grow as a company. Farmville's playerbase dwarfed WoW's playerbase. And they are adding more minigame casual features to WoW such as pet battles or Brawler's Guild.

The things I expect in Titan are:

LFR
<snip long list of possibilities>

Because these are the new features we've seen in Blizz games since Titan was announced.

It would have to have raids to have LFR. I'm not certain that it will. For better or worse, GW2 has shown that an MMO doesn't require raids to be successful. I have to say though I'm intrigued by this domain name.

They wouldn't register a separate website for the D3 expansion, or a single patch. Anything to do with D3 would go on their already established D3 website, similarly to anything SC2 or WoW related.

How curious. Definitely something to be keeping an eye on, at any rate. Thanks for passing on the info.

A company would do this if they want to protect their company's property.

Just imagine if you will, if Blizzard released an expansion named "Blackstone" for Diablo....

then some hacker gold selling website registered a domain name "Project Blackstone" an in attempt to get foolish players to go there and get their accounts hacked, or to buy gold for real money.

It's a very common practice among businesses.

It will be interesting to see if they learned from their errors with SC2 and D3. Both games stripped out the chat functions. Both games failed to build communities and both were awful failures. The company line still appears to be that this isn't the problem. But the failures are mounting.

In what world is SC2 lacking community or an awful failure.

Blackstone ... that's not the kind of name that Blizzard gives to his games. (At least recently)
Probably an expansion for Diablo III.
Or maybe they'll resurrect their old licence "Blackthorne".

Last time I checked D3 is a Blizzard game, therefor any D3 expansion is a Blizzard game.

Also, one of the first Blizzard games was called Blackthorne, that's not too far away from Blackstone.

Yep, but that's too far away from 2013.

to be honest its around the time for an expansion to be announced for D3 its around the same schedule as SCII when it hit after all.

I'll be suprised if its anything other than D3 related, the Black soul stone after all played a major part.
