Blizzard Gets Diablo3.com (Updated)

DiabloFans.com has the outcome of the countdown that started on Diablo3.com a couple of weeks ago (story), saying that Blizzard is taking over the Diablo3.com domain from them. Expectations that the announcement to which they were counting down were tempered by a follow-up (story), but this move carries the obvious implication that Blizzard is turning their attention to a next installment in the action/RPG series, welcome news to a good number of Diablo fans (though DiabloFans.com has word from Blizzard saying this should not to be considered a Diablo III announcement. Update: It seems the assumption originally expressed here that Blizzard bought the domain may have been incorrect, as there are indications the domain was freely handed over. Apologies for the error.

From their forum (saw on rockpapershotgun, but they didn't give the forum link):

Mockery granted the domain name in mutual agreement … a fan himself, he was glad to. There was no sale. It was given free.
