If you haven't guessed I'm solidly in the camp hoping they'll announce D3, so here's some more rampant speculation.<BR/><BR/>I keep wondering what the significance of these runes are. Sure, they seem to point to games from all of Blizzard's franchises, but why runes?<BR/><BR/>Maybe they're not runes, but seals, and they've been revealed one after another for the last week. <BR/><BR/>It's kind of like how the player breaks the various seals in Act IV to release Diablo.<BR/><BR/>I tried overlaying th e common picture of the Lich King onto today's teaser. The eyes, particularly the blue glow, isn't quite the same, but more importantly there seems to be a misfit between Arthas' helmet and the vague outline we're seeing highlighted by the eye flares. Seems to fit more with the overlay of big D that the french boards did...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36814800.post-82558711413413297412008-06-27T11:47:00.000+01:002008-06-27T11:47:00.000+01:00If I had to theorize what we're seeing from a mark...If I had to theorize what we're seeing from a marketing perspective:<BR/><BR/>First, try to set aside all our collective knowledge up to this point and look at the splash pages from the perspective of your Average Gamer Dude. <BR/><BR/>Would an average player have, by himself, noted the significance of the runes, the Lost numbers, or anything to that effect? No, all he'd see would be the splash page, that of progressively shattering ice.<BR/><BR/>Average Gamer Dude (AGD) is not without some exposure to WoW, so obviously would know about Wrath of the Lich King. Ice = Cold = Northred = Lich King, so AGD thinks, 'Cool, they are previewing Wrath!'<BR/><BR/>Very straight-forward, very basic, very logical. But maybe it's a trap. <BR/><BR/>It's almost like a classic suspense sequence from a movie. You build up your audience to expect one outcome but shock them with another. So AGD and all his buddies are waiting around, seeing the ice shatter, now they see eyes, now the eyes are glowing bright blue, and tomorrow they expect to see the face in the blizzard.<BR/><BR/>They expect to see Arthas. <BR/><BR/>Imagine the surprise if it was something else entirely? The hype alone would be great viral marketing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36814800.post-90271221788054487422008-06-27T10:49:00.000+01:002008-06-27T10:49:00.000+01:00the 4the runethe 4the runeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830497675715708821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36814800.post-67807141190539250542008-06-27T10:48:00.000+01:002008-06-27T10:48:00.000+01:00the rune can be cover of a canceled game Pax Imper...the rune can be cover of a canceled game Pax Imperia.<BR/><BR/>http://www.mobygames.com/game/pax-imperia-eminent-domain/cover-art/gameCoverId,9058/Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830497675715708821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36814800.post-89821558603950170962008-06-27T10:30:00.000+01:002008-06-27T10:30:00.000+01:00K guys.

I picked it up though off of some forums, and the actual page that i'm referring to has a very morbid picture looking of a diablo-esque skull with the numbers 10-17-05 or 10-07-05 (I don't remember which.)<BR/><BR/>Someone had laid that picture and made it transparent with the day 4 splash image and it was an absolute perfect fit. Not just because of the eyes, but because of the way the ice was breaking/retracting/melting around the horns.
