Instead of a new patch, they have the ladder, which supplies new items.Diablo team was and still is bigger than 5 people
Last month Blizzard announced a job offering for a new Lead Game Designer to lead team that designed Diablo and Diablo II. Those who missed this can read it here
In addition to this Blizzard have bee recruiting allot of game designers and programmers lately, among them was Dustin Browder who was the game design director for Battle for Middle-earth Electronic Arts
Back in summer 2004 a computer magazine hinted that D3 was in a planning stage although not officially yet in development.
Well allot seems to point to the early beginning of D3, a bit similar to when D2 started, when D2 was announced it was already in development.
Personally I belive there will be a D3 even if it hasnt been officially announced yet :wink:
