Purple Walrus is the Image.
That which relates to this guy: Michael Dashow
Michael Dashow did a SHITLOAD of Modeling, Animations, Texturing, Rigging, Backgrounds, Promos, Voices and whatnot.

Even though he does not work with Blizzard now (AFAIK), this might be a nod to him.

Pretty much... but it seems like blizzard knocked the link of the purple walrus down way back in 2004/2005 when the word Diablo 3 leaked in one of the dumps the surfaced.Evlar said:Let me be sure I understand, the connection is:
Image missing from Fan Art -> Matches image from the splash page CSS -> Complete image is a "purple walrus" (from which franchise? Can we see that jpg?) -> Fan art drawn by Michael Dashow -> The same Michael Dashow who "modeled, textured, and animated" Big D himself in Diablo 2.
Is that it?

I seriously don't know why it seems that gaf has a hard on for MMO hatred. Diablo is already basically a MMO. I'm sure they wouldn't turn it into a WoW clone, but I would play it if it was a MMO

Fonds said:Still, you can play Diablo 2 for an hour while it's absolutely pointless to play WoW for an hour. I'm not sure if I want DIII to be an MMO. But maybe that's cause I don't want it to be anything like WoW. I'm sure they could make it work somehow.
Hope they just don't turn it into some lame grind/fetch quest. Diablo was never about that, the actual combat was just a lot of fun.

They have to do it eventually... They can't wait until WoW dies (which would take a decade of slow attrition) and they can't just pull the WoW plug (leaving money on the table and pissed customers). No one has exactly figured out how to transition smoothly from one MMO to another from the same developer- NCSoft came closest I suppose, and they kept both versions of Lineage running simultaneously with decent results.charlequin said:I still fail to see how Blizzard announcing another MMO right now would be anything but them competing with themselves.
Artadius said:Better to compete with yourself than someone else. Either way, you win.

Death_Born said:The public has already gotten bored with WOW despite its humongous player base. Do you see nobody releasing FPS games even though Counterstrike is the king of FPS?
ThatGuy said:This is NOT WoWTLK related. Because:
- Blizzard has NEVER teased a release date
- Blizzard has NEVER teased a beta start with a splash screen

The sign on the middle left is the sign of the artist. You can find it on some of the released concept arts at the official site.
