yeah, but didn't most of the real Diablo staff leave Blizz North? all I know is WOW was mostly Blizz Irvine but a little of North as well.

A lot of the old Diablo devs are working on Guild Wars.

I know that. I was just basically suggesting that blizzard north may not even really be able to work on a diablo 3 anymore. I'm not sure how many people they have or what projects they're doing, so that could be more like a joint project between the irvine and north offices.

"A lot". Ahahaha. More like 2 or 3. Most of the big names of Diablo II are at Flagship Studio.

Oh. :O That's not the impression I got, but I haven't really been keeping my ear to the ground. What is Flagship working on?

Diablo-like for Namco. Don't remember the name though.

Don't be too confident on a Ghost release soon... Maybe on a next gen console, but it need to improbve a lot if they want to obtain blizzard approval. Rember Warcraft Adventures? :/

But this job opportunity may be a clue
