Rumors of D3 MMO?

I read somewhere that Diablo 3 may come out as an MMO around the year 2010. Has anyone heard anything else on this subject?
 
Yeah, most of the Diablo team left Blizzard ages ago. They formed Flagship Studios and are making Hellgate : London. If Blizzard makes D3... expect it to not be the same Diablo we all grew to love.

Hellagate : London looks pimp shit to be honest. The fact of being able to go 1st to 3rd person and back will be sweet.
 
Honestly its a pretty common occurrence for the original dev team who designed the game to get fired or more on to a new project after the game is finished. The ones that end up doing most of the patches and balancing are often different teams than the original game designers. This does not always happen, but usually the entire staff used building a game is just not needed for patches and updates.
 
I hope that, if they do come out with D3, it will be better than the others. The main reason I played D2 was b/c it was free. That economy was SO messed up.. With one item worth 5 of another and so on. Plus the game play was extremely repetative. Although it was fun to click things to death sometimes.

I would hope they turn the Diablo style of gaming into a more modern MMO style. I could picture something that resembles Lineage 2.

What exactly is wrong with one item being five times more valuable than another? The Diablo 2 economy was crazy as shit, and based almost entirely around hacks dupes and exploits, but it made sense and you could gear up ANY build in a day or two if you wanted to and had the resources.

Diablo 2 was fun as shit, if D3 comes out I hope they stick to the diablo formula we know and love, and don't put a diablo-skin on WOW.
 
I'm not sure I like the idea of an MMO. Diablo is perfectly suited for a small-scale multiplayer situation, and they should continue to capitalize on that.
