Title: Thinking about creating a Diablo 3 website
Post by: CHOW CHOW on June 30, 2008, 07:11:34 AM
With there only being one big Diablo 3 site on the net (Diabloii.net), I think there's a real opportunity here.  There's big Diablo trading forums but Dii.net is basically the only huge fan site. 

I've always wanted to create a website.  I have some very basic HTML skillz that I remember from high school computer class and I'm sure there's a program out there that would do most of the work.

The content of the site would be news on D3, general info / strategy on the game and some forums.

What do you think of this idea?  So basically I'd just need to think of a domain name, register it for 7 bucks at godaddy or wherever, then find a cheap host.  I think it could be a fun hobby to spend a couple of hours a week on.

You forgot http://www.diablofans.com/, I think they were previously diablo3.com but gave up (sold) their domain when blizzard asked them to.

Oh, that's right... still for a game of this magnitude to only have two major fan sites is pretty weak.  The opportunity is there, don't you think?

btw, I wonder how much Blizzard paid them for diablo3.com, assuming they sold it

There's also planetdiablo.com
I don't know, I'm usually a downer towards doing this (I'm lazy)

Yeah, this is not going to work.

Hire some real skills and form an idea of what will set you apart.

Just do it man. Fuck it. What do you have to lose but a little free time? Could turn into something cool.
