Blizzard Trademarks "The Dark Below" - WoW or D3 Expansion?

"The demons from the Dark Below apparently exist apart from the Burning Legion, who reside in the Twisting Nether."
-wowwiki.com/Dark_Below

Considering its believed by most the next expansion will involve the legion this is kinda fitting i guess

It's almost DEFINITELY, like 98% surely, the Diablo 3 expansion. Especially considering the other week Blizzard said they'd have announcement for Gamescom this month and said something about heaven and hell.

Tbh I would prefer either. It's going to be a kickass expansion anyways xD

Didn't Diablo fall from Heaven at the end of Diablo 3? Yeah pretty sure it's Diablo expansion.

I'd agree, its either a South Seas WoW expansion or D3.

It's not The Burning Below, silly

Hello N'zoth!

If you guys remember, Ozumat was listed as a 'Fiend of The Dark Below.'

Never been so sure of anything in my life.

Ra'Den and Stormrage book "mentioned" Dark Below, also http://www.wowwiki.com/Dark_Below = Next WoW Expansion

RPG is not canon. Sorry, playing Dark Below's Advocate here.

if its WoW expansion i think it will be old god, sleeping in the dark below.

A bit off topic:

When is Gamescon?

i would be dissappointed if they announced the wow xpac before blizzcon, because that means blizzcon will be d3 centric :/

I think it's the Diablo 3 expansion since they will most probably announce it at gamescom & the high heavens are 'clear' of Diablos grasp.

august 21-25

So far, I've searched USPTO and OHIM and this is not trademarked on either? Where is the trademark located?

D3 if its even d3 or wow.

The 'Dark Below' is another way of saying Hell or the Twisting Nether, so while it is entirely possible they retconned the meaning, I think it's entirely possible we could have either our next Burning Legion expansion coming down the pipeline, or they decided to use the same phrase for Diablo 3... or maybe change its meaning altogether to have a N'zoth and Azshara expansion. There's literally no way to know yet! I'M SO EXCITED!

I hope for WoW, and hope it's not underwater shit ...

Sounds more like something for Diablo...

For those thinking it's a D3 expansion... why would Blizzard wait until a few days before Gamescom to register a trademark? Obviously they've probably already printed the signs for their booth, their merchandise, etc.

Remember, if they waited so long to register their trademark on this, all it would take is a very unscrupulous person to register it out from under them, and then they have a problem.

No, this is something you do months in advance. If it's true that this was just registered... it's not for D3, if such an expansion is being unveiled at Gamescom.

It's not confirmed that it's tied to the Burning Legion. They came from the Twisting Nether which is UP, this is implying that it is DOWN. They only when I can see that this is Burning Legion is if it's under Outland or another new planet. I would love a Burning Legion expansion though. That's what I've been waiting for.
